The General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God, Ghana Rev. Stephen Yenusom Wengam has underlined the need for the Christian community to resist doctrines and practices which are alien to the core values of Christianity. They should also defend to the hilt, sound principles which define the true Church of Jesus Christ.
Rev Wengam speaking at the Biennial National Ministers’ Wives Conference of the Assemblies of God, Ghana at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi.
The theme was “The Faith of Our Fathers In Action” premised on John 14:12.
The General Superintendent called on the pastors’ wives to rise up and exhibit “audacious faith “ while playing a frontal role in defending the doctrines of the church.
Rev Wengam further asked Christians “to pass on our authentic faith to the next generation through evangelism and aggressive church planting in unreached communities.”
He cited the example of the three Hebrew children in the Bible who refused to worship the false god of King Nebuchadnezzar in spite of the consequences .
“This uncommon faith should inspire the present generation of Christians not to compromise their faith, even in most challenging circumstances.”
The Minister of Gender, Women and Social Protection, Dr Agnes Naa Momo Lartey, who was the Special Guest of Honour, admonished the participants “to grow in the faith and preserve the structures of the church which make this possible.”
The National President of the Ministers’ Wives Association, Lady Mrs Monica Wengam, challenged wives of pastors to exemplify the foremost faith of Sarah and patiently wait for the promises of God.
She announced that the Association has sponsored the construction of a legacy temple in the Afram Plains at the cost of almost GH₵400,000 .
Lady Mrs Wengam announced that the next project of the Association is to plant a church and additionally build a legacy temple for them.
Various speakers addressed topics like mental health, food and body health, building a strong family and the pastors wife and social skills necessary for church growth. Others were cultivating executive presence and emulating the unequalled faith of our fathers.
