The new General Council officials of Assemblies of God, Ghana, comprising the Executive Presbytery and the National Departmental Directors and Coordinators, have taken office.
The ceremony climaxed a four-day Leadership Prayer and Orientation Retreat at the Assemblies of God Headquarters in Accra.
The General Superintendent, Rev. Stephen Yenusom Wengam, who was overwhelmingly voted back into office, charged the new church officials to run with the church’s Transformation Agenda.
The agenda has been designed to aggressively disciple the entire nation, or specifically, reach every village, town and city with the word of God.
It also aims to enhance the welfare of pastors, particularly those serving in the rural areas, pursue massive human and infrastructural development and restore the Pentecostal fervour of Assemblies of God.
Rev. Wengam stressed the need for church leaders to “demonstrate absolute loyalty to Christ, to leadership, and to the doctrines and constitution of the Assemblies of God, Ghana.”
The new officers are the Assistant General Superintendent, Rev. Kwadwo Boateng Bempah; the General Secretary, Rev. Albert Anane; the National Women's Ministry Director, Rev. Mrs Esther Dwommoh; the Home Missions Director, Rev. Aaron Fant; and the Foreign Missions Director, Rev. Boniface Keelson.
Other speakers at the handover ceremony were the outgoing General Secretary, Rev. Ernest Birikorang, and the outgoing Assistant General Superintendent, Rev. Godwin Tito Agyei.
Topics covered included the Metaphor of the Head, Loyalty as the Key Ingredient to Successful Leadership, and Wisdom for Leaders.
