Pentecostal World Conference, June 4–7, in Helsinki, Finland
27th Pentecostal World Conference of the Pentecostal World Fellowship
HELSINKI — The 27th Pentecostal World Conference (PWC) will be held in Helsinki, Finland from June 4-7. Themed “Go and Make,” this triennial gathering of the Pentecostal World Fellowship (PWF) will bring together participants from over 90 nations as well as a host of leaders from across the Pentecostal and Charismatic church around the world. Featured speakers include PWF Chairman Dr. Billy Wilson, Rick Warren, Ben Fitzgerald, Christine Caine, Mark Varughese, Sophia Barrett, Goodwill Shana, Oystein Gjerme, and Teo Hayashi.
Dr. Billy Wilson, PWF chair, expressed the importance of this conference, saying, “This is a pivotal hour for the global Church. The call to ‘Go and Make’ is not just a theme—it is a Divine mandate. As we gather in Helsinki, we stand united in the power of the Holy Spirit to fulfill the Great Commission with boldness, compassion, and unwavering faith.”
The Helsinki Ice Hall will be the site of the conference, which is expected to draw thousands of worshippers expressing the diversity and unity of the global Pentecostal movement. Anointed worship ministries from around the world, including ORU Worship, Lindy Cofer, Upper Room, and a diversity of Nordic artists will lead attendees into powerful encounters with the Holy Spirit.
In addition to the general sessions, participants will be able to hear from a variety of subject matter experts in 28 different workshops designed to address contemporary ministry strategic challenges. Topics will focus on leadership, missions, discipleship, evangelism, business partnerships, and worship. The conference will also offer multiple collaboration sessions, giving the attendees an opportunity to interact with one another and to address current topics in the global Pentecostal movement.
In partnership with the Pentecostal World Conference, The Send Finland will take place on Saturday, June 7, and will challenge young people to dedicate themselves to fulfilling the Great Commission, with a commissioning service. This full-day gathering will feature powerful worship, compelling messages, and inspire a new generation to consecrate themselves to God’s call.
The PWF is also collaborating with Empowered21, the largest relational network of Spirit-empowered leaders in the world. Empowered21 will host a number of leadership gatherings, including sessions featuring the NextGen network, Women’s Alliance, Global Network of Spirit-empowered Scholars, and the Global Evangelists Alliance during the week of the conference.
