The Pentecost Students and Associates (PENSA) has been a very great force in The Church of Pentecost. As part of the possessing the nations agenda, PENSA International was launched to send Jesus Christ to campuses all around the world especially nations where the church exists but do not have PENSAs. By the grace of God, this vision was seen manifest in two (2) African countries, Togo and Nigeria, in the year 2019. This same grace made it possible for the Eastern part of Africa when the Lord took two teams of PENSA International missionaries to Rwanda and Uganda respectively.
