PHC 2020 Team Members during the Inauguration |
Encouraged
by the news of 150,000 baptisms in Rwanda and Tanzania respectively, the church
in Nigeria has decided to give the Lord an offering of 100,000 baptisms between
2020 and 2023 when the church will celebrate 100 years in eastern Nigeria.
In line with this
vision, Port Harcourt Conference of Seventh-day Adventist Church on Sunday 3rd
May at Rumoukwuta, inaugurated her team for Pentecost 2023.
“This is a dream come true,” said Brother Azukoye Amadi , The
Coordinator of Pentecost 2023 at the Eastern Nigeria Union Conference (ENUC), who was live at the
inauguration. Brother Azukoye also engaged the newly inaugurated members in light training and orientation
on the task ahead.

Speaking at the ceremony, Brother Azukoye Amadi said “There is going to be a celebration and
part of the celebration is to do a thanks offering of a minimum of one hundred
souls. Though the Union mentioned a hundred thousand soul and we are determine
to do the work to win these souls to God’s kingdom as promised, however, let
the Holy spirit choose his numbers.”
“Evangelism is what
we as a church have been doing, Pentecost 2023 is not different, but Pentecost
2023 is just the combination of different styles. The major difference with the
other evangelism is that there is a shift of emphasis from the church to the
individual.” He opined.
The powwow, which was
gracefully attended by divinely selected men and women from their various
districts and zones was packaged to orient, train and prepare them for service.

Adventist Media PHC, reported that Pastor Solomon Okonu, Port Harcourt Conference Coordinator for Pentecost 2023 at inauguration, welcomed and encouraged the zones and District Coordinators to be steadfast and committed in the spiritual work that lies ahead. He pleaded to the selected few to consecrate themselves and enhance their spiritual lives in other to fulfill the task or responsibility given to them.
“You have been
called to coordinate evangelism and the devil is not happy with anyone who is
charged with such huge spiritual responsibility geared towards expanding the kingdom
of God. Hence the need for you to step up your prayer life.”
“We need to do
more praying than planning, more praying than communicating, we need to do more
praying than strategizing.
"And if our prayer lives is up there. Every other
thing we falls in.”
