The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) says its 17th National Biennial Conference, will hold in Bayelsa on February 7 to 10, 2023.

He said: “When the fathers of the Pentecostal movement all come together, they sit down, pray, teach and they minister and strengthen the body of Christ.

“It is during the biennial conference that the people are recognised, empowered, it rekindles the people for a better tomorrow.

“This year’s biennial conference is very peculiar, because it is a gathering of the Pentecostal churches in Nigeria.

“In this all the pastors, great men of God come together because it is very rare to find all of them in one place at a time, so the conference provides such an opportunity for the Pentecostal churches,” he said.

Aggrey said further that the conference is also of economic importance to the host state, as all the hotels in Bayelsa will be occupied, and those into small scale businesses will see more patronage of their goods and services.

He said socially it is also a time of interaction with people they have been seeing on television and in the social media. They will be seeing one on one to bring that social network of different ministries from different part of the state.
