PENSA PU Launches Its Third Service as Youth Week Climaxes
The Youth Week celebration at PENSA Pentecost University reached a remarkable climax with a Sunday that will be remembered for its joyful fellowship and historic milestones. Under the theme “Go and Tell”, the atmosphere was filled with undiluted enthusiasm and expectation as the church hosted three consecutive services to mark a bold step forward in its mission to reach more souls on campus and beyond.
The launch of the third service was not just a logistical expansion but a prophetic declaration that the church of God is marching forward. This new service which has come to stay reflects PENSA PU’s commitment to growth and spiritual impact.
Adding to the day’s warmth and hospitality, breakfast was served before each service, another first, to create a beautiful atmosphere of love and fellowship among members and visitors – who members brought to church as the souls they won during the week- alike.
The first two services featured a powerful word ministration by Pastor Michael Laryea, National Coordinator for Ministry to Celebrities and Associate Pastor at PIWC–Atomic. Preaching on the theme “Unleashed to Go and Tell”, Pastor Laryea anchored his message on Matthew 28:18–20, emphasizing that before believers can go and tell, they must first receive power. He described being “unleashed” as a sudden release of a violent, uncontrollable force, urging the church to embrace Spirit-empowered evangelism. He explained that “Go” is not a suggestion but a divine command from Jesus, the Great Commissioner. The gospel, he stressed, is not stationary; it must move, and we are the vessels chosen to carry it.
Pastor Laryea further explained that true evangelism begins with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, urging believers to tarry until the prevailing wind blows within them. He outlined three pillars of Spirit-driven evangelism: hunger, engagement, and movement. Hunger for the Spirit, as expressed in Psalm 42:1–2, ignites passion and fuels the burden for souls. Engagement through prayer and intimacy releases power, and movement becomes the ultimate expression of obedience to the Great Commission.
The services were elevated by powerful worship ministrations from gospel artistes Deaconess Piesie Esther and Minister Siisi Baidoo, whose performances ushered the congregation into the throne room of God. Their spirit-filled songs created an ambience of reverence and joy and prepared hearts to receive the Word.
The third service was graced by Rev. Dr. Patrick Adonoo, the Campus Pastor of PENSA PU, who delivered a concise yet impactful message on the believer’s responsibility to preach the gospel. Drawing from Acts 10:1–5, Acts 8:26, and Acts 9:1–5, he emphasized that angels, the Holy Spirit, or even Jesus Himself will not preach the gospel, because that mandate has been given to us. He reminded the congregation of Matthew 28:18–20, to reinforce the call to take personal responsibility in sharing Christ with the world.
Overall, the Youth Week was a divine encounter, a time of empowerment, fellowship, and spiritual awakening. The launch of the third service stands as a prophetic symbol of expansion and a reminder that the harvest is plentiful. As PENSA PU moves forward, the message is clear that we are unleashed to go and tell, and we surely will.
