The Church of Pentecost-Belgium

Evangelism Ministry

Sons of God......... March Forward

The Evangelism Ministry is the evangelistic wing of the church. The main objective of the Ministry is soul winning through effective evangelism. Strategies of Effective Evangelism are therefore the main lessons taught at witness classes. Other lessons offered by the Ministry are Principles, Constitutions and Tenets of the church; in-depth study of the bible and exploration of other biblical mysteries. The discussions around these topics aimed at producing well-informed church members who would not be swayed by any false teaching i.e. any teaching that contradicts Biblical principles.  The activities of the Evangelism Ministry also include visitation, follow-up, counseling and nurturing of new converts and backsliders.  Complementary lessons on playing a role in the church such as leading chorus and worship and conducting other services are also treated to produce dynamic members in the local assemblies.

The Evangelism Ministry prays for the growth of the church; intercede for the afflicted, sick, and the lost; and train the youth and the singles to live pure lives and to effectively serve the Lord.

In addition to its core evangelical roles, the ministry organizes interesting programs such as marriage seminars, debates, quizzes, drama, symposia, etc. The ministry is open to all groups of people, regardless of age, gender, position, etc.

History of the Ministry

Known also as the ‘backbone’ of the church, the Evangelism Ministry started as the Young People’s Ministry; only embracing members between 16 and 25 years old. The members met to pray and study the word of God. This was followed by the emergence of an evangelistic group called “The Bombing Group”, a name which was derived from the World War II, when the allied forces bombed their enemies’ territories.

It was this same evangelistic fervor which moved men like the late Apostle J. Egyir Paintsil, Evangelist L. A. Nyarko, Elders Johnny Mallet, Amissah Andoh, and many others from the bombing group; thus bombing the kingdom of the devil to set men and women free from the bondage of sin into the Kingdom of God. This group emerged at the beginning of the church and gave itself to prayer, fasting, bible study, and all-night service to be well equipped for God’s ministry. Through the directions of the Holy Spirit, the group went out to preach and establish churches in different places. This really promoted the establishment of the kingdom of God in the once occupied territories of Satan.

Around 1950, the name Witness Movement was adopted for the group and was unanimously accepted by the Church. The age limit was therefore removed after the introduction of the broad-spectrum name and the door was opened to all members of the church (men and women both old and young) to the work of witnessing. Since the group was constantly waging war against Satan, their battle cry was “Victory, through the blood of Jesus”. With time, other slogans like “Sons of God, March forward”, ”A rise and Shine”, etc. followed.

The Vision and the Mission of the Evangelism Ministry are; 

•To serve as the oxygen pipe of the church that spearheads all outreach programs.

• To get the word of God to the un-reached.

• To offer training to the local assembles.

• To nurture new converts with the fundamental doctrines of Christ.

•To collaborate with other movements in the Church for joint revivals, retreats and evangelical programs.

• To take part in church planting programs.
