Pentecost international Christian Centre (PICC) is a multicultural and caring international assembly of believers with a heavenly mandate of ‘bringing hope to the hopeless and life to the dying and help them become true disciples of Jesus Christ.’ The commission was officially launched on 7th March 2010 in Lilongwe, Malawi, Africa under the leadership of God’s servant Pastor Esau Banda. The Lord s
poke clearly to Pastor Banda that the Pentecost International Christian Centre is a mighty river of revival that will spread to the four corners of the earth. The Lord gave him Genesis 2:10, which declares:
And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads (KJV)
God said that the garden is the society (Malawi and all nations around the world) and the river is the ministry (PICC) operating in the power of the Holy Spirit to water (refresh) the bound, oppressed and down trodden, and the four heads are the four corners of the earth. As such, PICC has a divine command from the Almighty God to bring hope to the hopeless and life to the dying through the preaching of the word of hope and life (Colossians 1:27; Ezekiel 47:1-12). Looking back at the turn of events since the ministry was inaugurated, one has no choice but to give God thanks for the great things He has done. To His glory, the ministry has experienced tremendous growth and testimonies abound of the undeniable impact it has had and continues to have in people’s lives; many have been rescued from the hold of hopelessness and deadness, and are now enjoying life the way God designed it. In the words of God’s servant, Pastor Esau Banda, PICC is:
“a tabernacle raised by God to provide shelter and refuge to those under the siege of storms and rains of life. It is a divine coolant released to cool down the lives of those overheated by demonic molestation. Therefore, by its mandate of bringing hope to the hopeless and life to the dying and help them become true disciples of Jesus Christ, PICC is here to help people enjoy comfort in all spheres of life”.
