Empowering the Next Generation: The Impact of the Pastors Kids Conference and What to Expect in 2024

The Pastors Kids Conference (PKC) has grown into a significant event for clergy families across Ghana and beyond.

Initiated in 2011, this annual conference, now celebrating its 13th edition, serves as a platform for pastors’ children to connect, learn, and grow.

In an interview on “Convo with the Head” with Kwadwo Sheldon, Apostle Francis Agyinasare shared insights into the conference’s impact and what attendees can look forward to in 2024.

The Genesis and Growth of the PKC

The PKC was established to address the unique challenges faced by pastors’ children. “We started this initiative in 2011, and this will be our 13th edition,” Apostle Agyinasare explained.

The conference aims to provide a non-denominational network for these young individuals, allowing them to fellowship, share experiences, and be equipped to realize their potential.

Despite its non-denominational nature, the conference attracts participants from a variety of Christian backgrounds, making it a rich tapestry of perspectives and experiences. “Through this initiative, we have had representation from over 70 different denominations or churches,” Agyinasare noted.

The conference has become a melting pot of experiences and faith journeys, providing a unique platform for pastors’ children to connect and grow.

Impact and Success Stories

The PKC has made a notable impact on the lives of many participants. Agyinasare shared several powerful testimonies of transformation. “We have testimonies of PKs who were going off track but, through this conference, have been realigned and brought back,” he revealed.

Some attendees who previously showed little interest in ministry have become active members of their churches or even ordained ministers. “We have pharmacists who are now ordained reverend ministers, and others who have started online ministries,” Agyinasare added.

These stories underscore the conference’s success in nurturing a new generation of leaders within the church. By offering support and guidance, the PKC helps young people navigate the complexities of their roles and embrace their calling in ministry.

The 2024 Edition: What to Expect

The 2024 edition of the Pastors Kids Conference is set to be an exciting event. Scheduled for August 24th at the Perez Dome, Dzorwulu Junction, Accra, this year’s theme is “Legacy.”

The conference will feature a range of activities, including interactive sessions, panel discussions, and worship ministrations.

This year’s format includes network sessions where attendees can connect with peers, as well as one-on-one interviews with distinguished pastors’ children. “We will have panel discussions where select PKs share their experiences and how they have navigated their unique challenges,” Agyinasare explained.

There will also be interactive forums where participants can engage with their parents and discuss expectations and experiences.

One of the highlights of this year’s conference is the focus on fostering connections and relationships among participants.

Agyinasare mentioned that the PKC has previously led to some attendees forming lasting relationships and even marriages. “Through this initiative, we’ve had PKs get married and form meaningful connections,” he said.

The conference remains free of charge, ensuring that it is accessible to as many pastors’ children as possible. “It’s free,” Agyinasare confirmed, emphasizing the event’s commitment to inclusivity.

Conclusion

The Pastors Kids Conference has proven to be a vital resource for pastors’ children, providing them with support, community, and guidance as they navigate their unique challenges.

As Apostle Francis Agyinasare shared, the 2024 edition promises to be a memorable event, continuing the conference’s legacy of impact and transformation.

For those interested in attending, the conference will take place on August 24th, 2024, at the Perez Dome in Accra. This is an opportunity not to be missed for any pastor’s child looking to connect, learn, and grow in their faith journey.
