Abstract:
This article discussed the role of the Holy Spirit in Ghanaian Pentecostal
churches from a missiological perspective. In order to achieve the aim
for the topic, the article focused on one of the major factors that led to
the rise and popularity of Pentecostalism in Ghana; i.e. the concern of
the indigenes about their worldview not being addressed by the Western
missionaries which came to serve in Ghana. The article argued that, in the
desire for Ghanaians to have their worldview addressed, they resorted to
Pentecostalism – a movement first introduced into Ghana by the African
Initiated Churches. It is also argued that, though one of the factors that have
made Pentecostalism to be accepted by Ghanaians is how it has addressed
their worldview; Ghanaian Pentecostal Churches are of the view that the
role of the Holy Spirit is the major factor for this increase.
