PFN Inaugurates Akwa-Cross Ministerial Network In PH
The National Publicity Secretary of Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), Bishop Emmah Isong during the weekend in Port Harcourt inaugurated Akwa-Cross Ministerial Network (ACMIN), a rallying body for gospel ministers in the two states.
Speaking during the inauguration at LA Kings Hotel, Bishop Isong said PFN will endorse the network as it conforms to the ministerial ethics that would have positive impact on God’s kingdom service.
He stressed the need for the people of Akwa Ibom and Cross River States to believe in themselves and the grace God has given them, adding “we are the cause of our problems”.
Bishop Isong who spoke on the topic, “Boosting Moral and Cultural Perception”, underpinned the need for gospel ministers from the area to break the curse of pride, immorality/character deformation and inferiority complex.
“There is also the need to break the curse of infighting, strive, low mentality, rejection and betrayal”, which according to him, have been responsible for ministers’ slow pace in rising to the top.
In his welcome address, the convener of the programme, Prof Aniekan Ekere said the purpose of the newtwork is to pursue excellence, adding “with prayer, mentorship, self-empowerment and direction, we can reposition this mentality in our people”, adding that networking seemed to be the solution to the problem.
The special assistant to Cross River State Governor on Religious Matters, Apostle Frank Umo, who represented His Excellency, Prof Ben Ayade said the vision is timely, adding that the integrity of the leaders will go a long way in boosting the achievements.
He pledged support for the network, adding, “I am fully persuaded that this vision will speak beyond human comprehension. We trust to make the network grow from glory to glory”.
The co-ordinating officer, Rev (Dr) Ezare Anani said the body will soon constitute the executive members of the network, adding that the vision would be achieved.
Also speaking, the chairman of the occasion, Rev (Dr) Augustine Essien noted that the key problem of the country is leadership, adding that the network is aimed at proffering solutions to the problem of leadership at the church, business and even the family levels.
A member of the network, Rev Emmanuel E. Ekpo who is the senior minister of Assemblies of God, Silver Valley commended the effort of the leaders of the organisation, saying that the group would serve as a unifying factor that will also bring recognition to the ministers in the region.
