The delegation informed the President of the passing of Madam Deborah Wengam, biological mother of the General Superintendent of Assemblies of God, Ghana, Reverend Stephen Wengam.

 

Led by Rev Dr Godwin Tito Agyei, the Assistant General Superintendent, of Assemblies of God, the delegation extended an invitation to the President to attend the funeral service, scheduled for Saturday, 25th January 2025, at 8am, at the Forecourt of the State House in Accra.

 

Tribute

 

Rev Dr Agyei eulogised Madam Wengam, highlighting her 71-year membership with the church. He commended her for raising a visionary leader and noted that the funeral would attract dignitaries from various walks of life, including a large international delegation.

 

The Assistant General Superintendent also thanked the President for his earlier visit to commiserate with the bereaved family upon the demise of Madam Deborah Wengam.

 

President Mahama on his part commended Reverend Wengam's late mother for serving her generation well by producing a prominent leader for the church and the entire society as a whole. 

 

President Mahama consoled the General Superintendent and the bereaved family and prayed that the soul of Madam Deborah Wengam will rest in peace.
