The Association of Church Reputation Managers (ACRM), a body of professionals advancing professionalism in church and ministry management has commended the leadership of the Lagos State Chapter of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria under Pastor Yemi Davids for its great impact since assuming office one year ago.
The association gave the commendation in a statement signed by its president, Pastor Joseph Adeniran and made available to Church Times on Wednesday September 10
The body stated that the PFN in the last one year has been marked with significant impact in many areas describing the leadership as “nothing short of being transformational.”
It noted that Pastor Davids is a game-changer whose purposeful and visionary leadership has exceeded expectations within just twelve months of being in office.
Lagos PFN”s achievements within the first year of Pastor Davids’ tenure according to ACRM were not only monumental but unprecedented in PFN’s history.
“The brand visibility and trust barometer of PFN Lagos chapter have appreciated significantly, giving the body a renewed sense of credibility and relevance in the public space,’ the statement notes.
It added, “So much ground has been covered within such a short time to go unnoticed. What we are witnessing is a reawakening of the PFN as a force for spiritual renewal, social responsibility, and national transformation,”
Five fold agenda
Central to the chapter’s success, the body observes is the leadership’s five-fold agenda—dialogue, reconciliation, collaboration, inclusiveness, and social responsibility.
“These pillars have fostered greater unity among member churches, bridged previously existing divides, and made the Fellowship more responsive to the needs of society at large.”
The statement notes further that the Lagos PFN has redefined the role of the church in community engagement, with social impact programmes that extend hope to the distressed.
Benue relief and empowerment
According to ARCM, a shining example was the Benue Outreach, where relief materials and emotional support were provided for victims of banditry in Yelwata and surrounding communities.
The body praised the broader perspective of the new leadership, particularly its empowerment of women and youth wings.
According to the statement, “The rejuvenated Women’s Wing has been instrumental in addressing the spiritual, emotional, and material well-being of women, while the revitalised Youth Wing has created innovative platforms to address the peculiar challenges of young people, effectively bridging generational gaps within the body of Christ.”
These initiatives, according to ARCM, have made PFN Lagos relevant to a wider cross-section of Christians and have positioned the Fellowship as a vital player in shaping conversations around morality, leadership, and national values.
Leadership training
Another hallmark of Pastor Davids’ leadership, according to the statement was his commitment to leadership training and capacity-building programmes.
“These initiatives are not only equipping church leaders with the skills to serve more effectively but are also creating ripple effects that will cascade into the broader Nigerian society.
“This is no longer just about the PFN; it is about Nigeria’s future. When spiritual leaders are well equipped, society benefits through integrity, accountability, and visionary leadership. This first-year scorecard is a strong pointer that PFN Lagos is bracing up to play a pivotal role in shaping the Nigeria of our dreams,” the statement added
PFN after one year
It will be recalled that the Lagos PFN recently celebrated its one year in office.
Pastor Yemi Davids during the celebration which took place at the Global Impact church had expressed gratitude to God, the PFN leadership team, and all stakeholders for their support, emphasising that the accomplishments of the past year were just the beginning of greater things to come.
He said, “We are humbled by what God has enabled us to achieve within this first year. The progress is not mine alone—it is the fruit of collective prayers, teamwork, and the grace of God. Our vision is clear: to see the body of Christ united, strong, and serving as a blessing to society.
“If one year can produce this much, then by His grace, the years ahead will deliver even greater impact for Lagos, for Nigeria, and for the Kingdom of God,”
