He said it was the vision of the church leadership to equip the next generation with the requisite leadership skills for their generation by igniting the Pentecostal fire.
Prophet Amaniampong said this when he addressed an “All Officers Retreat” of the Teshie-Nungua Church of Pentecost International at Gomoa Fetteh in the Central Region.
The four-day event was attended by area executives, elders, deacons, Bible studies teachers, deaconesses, representatives from the head office and other areas of the church.
He said mentoring had been identified as the predictor of a successful career, adding that “behind every great leader is a great mentor. Mentors serve as agents and catalysts of the growth process helping others to reach their God intended maturity”.
“The future of our great church lies in the hands of our youth and we cannot dream of a vibrant church if we do not mentor them, if we do not impart what was given to us by our forefathers to them,” he said.
Mentoring youth
Speaking on the topic: “Mentoring today’s generation through exemplary leadership”, Pastor David Nyansa-Hayfron, the Youth Director of the Pentecost Church, said there was the need to mentor the youth in the church for tomorrow’s generation.
“No matter how difficult the youth in our dispensation are, with the power of the Holy Spirit we can mentor them to become effective leaders in the church for the next generation,” he said.
