Adiara pledges to build new PAG prayer centre if elected General Superintendent

By Jabali Media

Kenneth Adiara Mbalanya has pledged to effect far reaching changes, if elected the 6th General Superintendent (GS), of the Pentecostal Assemblies of God (PAG) Kenya Church.

If elected, Adiara said he will focus on building the church’s new prayer centre, away from PAG’s Nyang’ori Mission headquarters.

“Our plan is to buy land somewhere for construction of a prayer centre,” said Adiara, during an Interview on Vihiga FM, on Thursday morning.

“There are a lot of things going on at the Nyang’ori Mission. There is a bible school, every now and then people are coming for various issues. We want a place where people will have an ample time to seek for the face of the Lord,” he added.

Currently, Adiara indicated, the Nyang’ori Mission hosts prayer conferences after a while, which may not be enough in terms of time available for one to earnestly seek for God through prayers.

“Prayer conferences normally come after a while. We want a place where people will be coming, our members and members of other churches,” he emphasised.

Adiara has been touted as one of the front-runners for the Church’s GS position.

During last month’s nominations, the PAG Church Kawangware District Overseer emerged winner after garnering 1,670 votes, against Dr Christopher Kilasi’s 1,288.

The incumbent GS, Dr Patrick Lihanda got 1,040 ahead of the main election scheduled for the course of this month.   

He vowed to fully implement the Church’s constitution, if elected. In the event that he loses the hotly contested polls, Adiara said he will accept results.

“If I am not elected, I will accept the results. This is the work of God, and leadership comes from God. If I am not elected, I will support the winner so that the Church moves ahead. It is not a matter of do or die.”    

Elections will be held either on September 20 or October 01, 2024, with Adiara, Lihanda and Kilasi facing off.
