Sunday 13th December, 2015 marked a remarkable day in the history of Pentecost Students and Associates (PENSA) UCC as its Mobile Application was officially launched. The App which was
developed by the Media and Publicity Committee (formerly IT Department) of
PENSA UCC under the leadership of Mr. Daniel Owusu Ansah became necessary in order to meet the pressing informational needs of members. Speaking at
the event Bro Daniel Owusu Ansah said the more one is
informed, the less ignorant and aggressive he/she becomes. He added that in our generation
where one is exposed to various forms of information, it normally becomes problematic
as one finds it difficult in getting the right information from the right source and at the right time. Members
of the church often get misinformed about the church policies, its doctrines
and information on leadership and membership. He said PENSA membership is made up of Pentecost Students (COP members) and Associates (Non COP
members) and there is therefore the need to ensure that members are always
informed on the various doctrinal practices of the church in order for members to act accordingly. As a
level 400 student seeing the problem members’ face with regards to either lack of information or
incomplete information, he thought it wise the need to develop a platform where
members can interact, get informed and be addressed on pertinent issues with
regards to the church. The purpose of
the App is to bridge members closer to God, leadership of the church and also
to serve as a platform where members can interact with each other. He enlighten members on the following
features embedded in the App:
DAILIES
With the dailies, alert messages
will be sent to users. Some of its
contents include Daily devotions, health tips, computer tips, motivational,
success and daily news.
NOTICES
This feature reminds members on
pending activities such as Bethel (a
half night prayer meeting organised during the Lord’s Supper week), PENSA Ghana Conference and many others
including bus arrangements for crusades,
programs and before and after service
WINGS
This feature has all the wings in
PENSA-UCC such as Fountain of Joy (FOJ), Organising, Bible Studies, Prayer
Force and Evangelism. In each wing, an individual will see the entire
membership list and will also get the chance to either join or unjoin the wing.
There are picture galleries of each wing which will be updated from time to
time and also all announcements of the wing shall be posted there for its
members to view. Members will also get the chance to save, share or even email
the wing icons or pictures to others. There is a home button on top of each
wing’s page where people can
click and read in order to get to know the roles played by the wing as well as
their main activities.
WHAT’S
ON YOUR MIND
This feature contains a platform where
challenging questions will be posted for resourceful persons to give answers
and all members will be allowed to also comment. This we believe will help
remove uncertainties from our minds and help in our spiritual upbringing.
CONSTITUTION
You can also have access and be acquainted
with the church’s constitution
SONGS
You have access to the Pentecostal
song lyrics
PERSONALITY OF THE WEEK AND CHURCH
TODAY WHICH WE PAUSED FOR A WHILE (due to an urgent reason) ARE ALSO BACK AND
THEY HAVE COME TO STAY.
EXECUTIVES
The app also gives you access to
our leaders (The Executives of PENSA UCC) , their pictures, contacts, our
travelling secretary, the executives of the church of Pentecost, and all the LCC members. All
these will be made available although we will be updating the servers from time
to time.
In conclusion he said it is better
off to get valid information than to be misinformed and be left to wallow in
your thought because the word of God says “'My
people are destroyed for lack of knowledge” (Hosea
4:6 - KJV) This means that, information
or knowledge about something is one of
the most essential tools in every individual's life.
