Pioneer Network Ghana on Saturday, September 27, 2025, convened a Regional Missions and Church Planting Conference at Fire Trinity Ministry International, located at Atwima Aburaso in the Atwima Kwanwoma District of the Ashanti Region.
Themed “From Vision to Mission: Leading the Church into New Frontiers,” the conference brought together pastors, missionaries, and church members from across the region to deliberate on practical approaches for advancing the gospel and sustaining church growth.
Speaking in an interview after the programme, Pastor Andrew F. Lendor, Regional Leader of the School of Ministry and Pioneer Network for West Africa, underscored the need for church leaders to translate spiritual vision into concrete mission strategies.
According to him, the central goal of the church must remain the fulfillment of the Great Commission. “The church was established for missions. Any church that fails to prioritise evangelism and discipleship has lost its divine purpose,” Pastor Lendor stated. He pointed out that inadequate mission-focused leadership and scarce resources continue to hinder the spread of the gospel, urging congregations to refocus on their mandate.
The conference featured teachings on topics including The Call and Urgency of Missions, Planting and Multiplying Churches, and The Holy Spirit: Power for New Frontiers, with scriptural emphasis on Matthew 28:18–20 and Acts 1:8.
Pioneer Network, which originated in the United Kingdom, has since expanded into a global body of churches spanning Africa, Asia, Europe, the United States, and Australia. The network seeks to connect independent churches under one fellowship, offering mutual accountability and support to strengthen kingdom work.
Addressing the gathering, Apostle Dr. George Amoako Alhassan, President of Pioneer Network Ghana, expressed gratitude to participants and encouraged Christians to embrace evangelism as a lifestyle. Citing Proverbs 11:30, he reminded them that winning souls is a mark of wisdom, and urged believers to engage their communities through personal outreach and innovative ministry efforts.
Organisers described the event as timely, stressing that it aimed to equip churches with the tools and strategies necessary to reach new frontiers with the gospel while ensuring sustainable growth.
