About the Lord's Pentecostal Evangelistic Ministry
L-PEM (The Lord's Pentecostal Evangelistic Ministry) is a pentecostal evangelistic ministry depending fully on the power of the Holy Spirit, just as Jesus Christ Himself declared, "You shall receive power, when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses to the end of the world" (Acts 2:1).
Our vision here at L-PEM is to reach the world through the power of the Holy Spirit, and consequently make a spiritual impact on as many people as the LORD leads us to; starting right in the heart of Vienna (Austria) and then to the uttermost parts of the world. Our goal is to develop an international ministry that has at its core the salvation of lost and by the community abandoned and rejected souls.
Who we are
The Lord's Pentecostal Evangelistic Ministry is a Bible-believing, Jesus-professing, Holy Spirit- empowered ministry, that has been called to "Go out into the World and preach the Good News to all creatures!" according to Jesus' mandate in the book of Mark 16 (chapter 15).
The ministry has over the years grown to be a strong ministry- with Jesus Christ as its centre, solid foundation, pillar and rock- and is still growing larger and stronger; both in numbers and in the Spirit.
L-PEM understands the difficulties of proclaiming the Good News and portraying Christ in a nation and indeed generation that has turned its back to the Almighty God. However, we believe that we have been called to show His love to all people- the saints and the sinners. We believe in "going out" to "gather in". We can see the great harvest of souls awaiting and are here to equip available vessels to do the work of the Master.
Although the Bible has made it very clear that God is a consuming fire, a righteous Judge, and therefore must needs carry out justice, we take courage in the fact that His mercies are new every morning and that He takes great pleasure in every sinner that repents and turns to Him. There is great joy in heaven over a single sinner that repents, and we join the hosts of angels in celebrating the new life that comes from simple faith.
We therefore preach the undiluted and unchanged Gospel of Christ: Repentance and New Life in Jesus! We strongly believe in the power of the Holy Spirit that is so close, residing within every believer, able to empower us to live above the challenges that present itself on a daily basis. While there will always be trials and tribulations in this world, we take comfort in the fact that we have been declared "more than conquerors" and can hence- with the hand of God upon our lives- "set our face like a flint" and focus on God, the author and finisher of out faith.

A Brief History
The ministry started in Oct. 1994 by Evangelist Mrs. M. F. Makinwa with the leading of the Holy Spirit, in Vienna, Austria. Mrs Makinwa and others started the ministry at “New Apostolic Church” in the 21st district of Vienna; later moved to Oedenburger Str. in the same district, under the name of C.A.C.
In the year 1999, after issues in regards to the church and its growth, the ministry was divided and gave birth to its real name and hearkened unto its divine calling, LPEM- The Lord’s Pentecostal Evangelistic Ministry- in the year 2000.
Since then the ministry has experiences growth and has- by the special grace of God- also expanded to other parts of Austria; namely Linz and Klagenfurt; and also to Nigeria. This is the doing of the Lord; may His name alone be glorified.
