The new leadership of Assemblies of God Ghana is exploring ways of deepening relationships with other denominations for effective collaboration in the areas of missions and church planting.

This came to light when a six-member delegation of the Executive Presbytery of the church led by the General Superintendent, Rev. Stephen Wengam paid a courtesy call on The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Eric Nyamekye in Accra. The visit, which was also meant to introduce the new leadership team to him, also discussed unity in the Christian fraternity and matters of national development.

The General Superintendent commended the Church of Pentecost for their role in expanding the frontiers of Christianity in Ghana and beyond and contributing significantly to national development. He shared the vision of the new leadership team christened the Transformation Agenda. The meeting also discussed the critical role both Churches play in the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council and the need to work harder to preserve the unity of the Council and Christianity in Ghana.

Apostle Eric Nyamekye, on his part, lauded Assemblies of God Ghana for playing a pioneering role in the growth of Pentecostalism and the charismatic movement in Ghana. He emphasized the need for greater unity so that Christ's agenda of saving the nations will be achieved. He promised the support of the Church of Pentecost for the new leadership of Assemblies of God Ghana.

Rev. Stephen Wengam officially invited Apostle Eric Nyamekye to the induction service for the new General Superintendent early next year.



In a related development, the new leadership of Assemblies of God Ghana has paid a courtesy call on the Paramount Chief of the Wulugu Traditional area, Wulugu Naaba Pugansoa Naa Prof. John Sebiyam Nabila, a member of Assemblies of God, Ghana for 60 years.
