The General Superintendent of Assemblies of God, Ghana, Rev. Stephen Yenusom Wengam, has encouraged pastors, especially those serving in deprived communities, to remain steadfast, even in the most challenging circumstances.
“God often performs great works in such situations. And this should be a source of inspiration for pastors to demonstrate unwavering faith in God while being diligent in their pastoral work,” he said.
Rev. Wengam was speaking at Zebilla during his 3rd Apostolic Visit to the Upper East Region "B" Assemblies of God, Ghana.
The programme brought together ministers and their spouses, retired ministers and their spouses, and pastors' widows for a time of prayer, fellowship, exhortation and impartation.
Rev. Wengam led a three-and-half hour prayer session for peace in Ghana and the region.
The prayer topics also included the upcoming General Council meeting of the Assemblies of God, Ghana in August 2026 and the World Congress of Assemblies of God Fellowship to be hosted in Accra from October 11 to 14, 2026.
It will be the first the global event to be held in Africa.
Rev. Wengam reminded the faithful about the General Council meeting of the church in August and the World Congress of Assemblies of God to be hosted by Ghana in October this year.
Rev. Wengam also led the pastors to renew their marriage vows and admonished them to make their marital union a model for their church members.
