Dr Bempah emphasized the importance of prayer, miracles, and spiritual renewal, stating that the event will be a time of "mega revival." Additionally, the congress will highlight the Assemblies of God's MM33 vision, aiming to establish one million churches worldwide by 2033, with the movement currently having around 500,000 churches.
Dr Bempah stressed that the central mission of the church is evangelism, urging focus on winning more souls in preparation for Jesus' imminent return.
