Lecturers of the Assemblies of God, Ghana Theological and Missions Seminary (AGTMS) have been meeting in Accra to discuss strategies for maintaining their spiritual depth and enhancing their intellectual capacity. The programme was facilitated by Africa’s Hope, a U.S.-based NGO.
The General Superintendent of Assemblies of God, Ghana, Rev. Stephen Wengam, urged the participants to invest in their personal development and not “lose sight of deep spirituality, which is a core part of our Pentecostal distinctiveness.”
He expressed concern over “a trend where Pentecostal scholars, in their bid to bridge the knowledge gap, are beginning to play down spirituality, especially prayer.”
Rev. Wengam explained that Assemblies of God, Ghana, chose as its theme for 2025, “Pray Without Ceasing for Supernatural Manifestations” (1 Thess. 5:17), to help correct this anomaly.
The General Superintendent emphasized that “lecturers cannot give what they do not have,” adding that the future security of Pentecostal distinctiveness largely depends on them..
