Rev. Wengam inducted for second term as Assemblies of God Ghana General Superintendent

Rev. Dr Stephen Wengam, the General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God in Ghana, has been re-elected for a second term. President John Dramani Mahama, First Lady Lordina Mahama, and the World Assemblies of God Fellowship's Rev. Dominic Yeo attended his induction in Accra. Upon assuming office again, Rev. Wengam expressed gratitude to God and the dignitaries present.

He highlighted the church's growth during his first term, noting the construction of 2,077 new congregations, bringing the total to 10,077, and an increase in membership from 812,254 to 1.2 million. He also announced plans to build 177 Legacy Temples to provide permanent places of worship, with the First Sky Group CEO Deacon Eric Seddy Kutortse pledging to construct 50 of them.

The church aims to intensify efforts to implement its Transformation Agenda, anchored on six pillars: REACH, REBUILD, RESTORE, REPOSITION, REBRAND and REFORMS. The church will also focus on the MM33 target of the World Assemblies of God Fellowship, aiming to plant one million churches globally by 2033. Rev. Wengam unveiled plans for a state-of-the-art international conference centre, the Centenary City, with a seating capacity of 6,000, and announced that President Mahama would lead fundraising efforts, though the State would not contribute public funds.

He commended the government for signs of economic recovery and urged stakeholders to promote decency in political discourse. Concerning moral issues, Rev. Wengam cited worrying incidents of students assaulting teachers and young people attacking police stations, calling for a national crusade to safeguard the youth's future and urging parents to raise their children in the fear of God.

Rev. Dominic Yeo, the Global Chairman of the World Assemblies of God Fellowship, encouraged members to contribute meaningfully to national development and remain open to the supernatural work of God.
