The General Superintendent of Assemblies of God, Ghana, Rev. Stephen Wengam, and his wife, Lady Mrs Monica Wengam, have completed their 4th Apostolic Visit to the Ashanti East Region.
The event, held at the Lighthouse Assembly of God in Kumasi, brought together serving pastors and their spouses, retired ministers and their spouses, as well as pastors’ widows for a time of intense prayer, spiritual impartation, intimate fellowship, and learning.
The Regional Superintendent, Rev. Emmanuel Gyasi, warmly welcomed Rev. Wengam and his wife.
He highlighted several intervention policies and projects initiated by the General Superintendent, which have propelled the church to remarkable heights. Key among these are rebranding, revival, and aggressive church planting.
Prayer
Rev. Wengam led an intensive three-and-a-half-hour prayer session for the Church, the nation, the upcoming World Assemblies of God Fellowship Congress, and the 32nd Biennial General Council Meeting.
He urged pastors to emulate the fervent faith of the early church fathers, remain steadfast in their calling, prioritise church planting, and strengthen their spiritual discipline.
Presentation of gifts
The National President of the Ministers’ Wives Association, Lady Mrs Monica Wengam, expressed appreciation to pastors’ wives for their active participation in the association’s activities. She encouraged them to remain dedicated in fulfilling their roles.
She also presented gifts to pastors, cloth to their spouses, and cash and other items to retirees, their wives, and pastors’ widows.
She reiterated that this welfare initiative is personally sponsored by herself and her husband, motivated by the desire to support pastors who face various hardships.
According to her, this is their modest way of caring for God’s people.
In a reciprocal gesture, the Ashanti East Regional Council presented a special gift to the first couple in recognition of their visionary leadership, generosity, and unwavering commitment to the growth of Assemblies of God, Ghana.
Rev. Wengam led married couples in the renewal of their wedding vows. He admonished pastors and their wives to model godly Christian marriages.
Another remarkable feature of this year’s Apostolic Visit was the administration of Holy Communion.
