President John Dramani Mahama extended a warm welcome to the Executive Committee of the Assemblies of God Church, led by Global Chairman Rev. Dominic Yeo, ahead of the church's 10th Triennial World Congress set to take place in Accra from October 14-16, 2026. Receiving the delegation at the prestigious Jubilee House, the President expressed his pride in belonging to the Assemblies of God Church, sharing his own personal journey of joining the church after marrying a woman who had been introduced to it by a friend.
President Mahama emphasized the significance of the church in his life, describing the Ringway Gospel Centre as a nurturing family where members support and care for one another.
The President recounted how Ghana was chosen to host the congress in 2023, stating that the preparations seemed distant at the time but are now becoming increasingly imminent. Commending the Local Organising Committee for their efforts, President Mahama acknowledged the logistical challenges involved in organizing such a large international event, noting that the original venue, Black Star Square, could not be utilized due to the lack of necessary facilities.
Consequently, the Accra International Conference Centre, which was undergoing renovation, was temporarily reopened to accommodate the congress.
President Mahama praised the Assemblies of God Church's growth in Ghana, acknowledging its continuous attraction of new members and expansion of capacities to accommodate growing congregations. He expressed confidence in Ghana's ability to successfully host the congress, asserting that delegates would leave with positive memories of the country.
Furthermore, the President recognized the difficulties some delegates encountered in obtaining visas and traveling to Ghana, stating that measures had been implemented to facilitate the process. President Mahama looked forward to participating in the congress, which commences on October 14, 2026.
