Welcome

Welcoming the esteemed guests, Rev. Wengam shared a brief yet insightful history of Assemblies of God, Ghana, highlighting the denomination’s spiritual heritage and ongoing work across the country.

He also outlined the church's preparations towards its centenary celebration, which is just six years away.

The General Superintendent emphasised the urgent need for the church to reposition and rebrand in order to reach more people with the gospel, especially in the northern and southern zones of Ghana, where some communities still lack access to churches and trained pastors.
