Doha set to host World Investment Forum on Oct 25

Ghana has been chosen to host the Assemblies of God World Congress for the first time in its history, from October 14 to 16. Over 10,000 delegates and visitors from various parts of the world are anticipated to attend this three-day event. The congress will feature worship, revival, seminars, and discussions on the church's global mission.

The event's organizer, Evangeline Gbenartey, highlighted the significance of the congress, stating it is a historic moment for Ghana and the African continent. She emphasized the importance of fulfilling the church's global evangelistic mission, which includes the ambitious goal of planting one million churches worldwide. The theme of this year's congress, "Commission: One Mandate, Every Nation," underscores the church's focus on expanding its presence through church planting.

Organizers expect the congress to attract a large number of attendees, presenting a significant boost to several sectors of Ghana's economy, such as the hospitality, transportation, and food industries. The influx of international visitors is also expected to provide an opportunity to challenge negative perceptions about Africa and showcase the continent's potential to the world.
