Rev Prof Gyadu’s session emphasizes the pivotal role of the Holy Spirit in the rise of Spirit-empowered Christianity in Africa, focusing on the indigenous movements that critique historical mission Christianity. Gyadu explores how African Christians to whom the Gospel was first proclaimed, sought a deeper spiritual experience, leading to the birth of movements that emphasized the Holy Spirit’s power in mission work. This session underscores the inclusiveness of the Spirit, reminding us that the Holy Spirit was present at Pentecost, including Africa in God’s global mission. Drawing on the promise, fulfillment, and experience of the Spirit, the speaker highlights how the dynamic growth of Christianity in Africa today is a testament to the continued work of the Holy Spirit. The call is for unity among believers, recognizing that the Spirit of God empowers all to participate in the global mission of proclaiming Christ.
