Mbengwi Station Congregation Pastor Inducted

Rev. Enongene Nelson has been inducted and instituted as parish pastor and chaplain of PTTC/PHS Mbengwi during a divine service officiated by the Meta Presbyterial Secretary, Rev. Dr. Ebong Emmanuel Masango on Sunday January 31st 2021. 

Madam Tamanji Catherine, the congregational chairperson described the newly inducted as a square peck in a square hole considering his gentleness and spiritual integration with Christians. To her, his coming to the parish in 2019 was so timely, owing to the influx of new forms of religiosity and hurdles faced by the congregation. As expectations, she told him that "We know you as an energetic young man with so much in you to make the story of the congregation and the presbytery at large grow higher."

With the timid school resumption this academic year after over 3 years of shutdown, Rev. Enongene succeeded to canvas for hundreds of students for the Presbyterian High School (P.H.S) Mbengwi that was speedily growing before the advent of the crisis. Many of the students were thus in church to see their new chaplain instituted and shared their knowledge of the man of God with Mbengwi Online. 

To Ndimuyang Helen, their chaplain is a nice, kind and gentle person, very encouraging, lively and lovely, always wanting the best for his students. Same opinion shared by Eni Blessing who added that the Rev. Enongene is a very young handsome man, caring and friendly. "Today was a wonderful day for us the students especially we the choir members. We really enjoyed everything that happened" she ended.

We will never forget this day and this congregation because this is where I was inducted after working in 14 congregations.
