The General Superintendent of Assemblies of God, Ghana, Reverend Stephen Yenusom Wengam, has called on pastors, church leaders and members to intensify mobilisation efforts towards the successful hosting of the 10th Triennial Congress of the World Assemblies of God Fellowship in Ghana.
The global congress, scheduled for October 14–16, 2026, is expected to bring together about 10,000 pastors, ministers and church leaders from Assemblies of God churches around the world.
Rev Wengam made the call on Sunday at the Cedar Mountain Chapel in Accra, where he officially launched the congress at the local church level.
Ghana is hosting the congress for the first time in the 110-year history of the World Assemblies of God Fellowship.
The main activities are expected to take place at the Independence Square and the Accra Sports Stadium.
Rev. Wengam explained that participation in the daytime sessions at the Independence Square would attract a minimal fee of GH¢100, while the evening revival rallies at the Accra Sports Stadium would be free to the public.
He, however, stressed that the spiritual benefits of the revival rallies could not be measured in monetary terms.
“We cannot simply quantify the value of the spiritual exercise at the stadium. It is inestimable, to say the least,” he said.
The congress is being held under the theme, “Commissioned: One Mandate, Every Nation,” based on Matthew 28:18–20.
Rev Wengam recalled that the Global Chairman of the World Assemblies of God Fellowship, Rev Dominic Yeo, officially launched the congress on November 14, 2025, at the Lancaster Hotel in Accra.
He said daytime activities at the Independence Square would include seminars, workshops and working sessions, while evening revival rallies would be held at the Accra Sports Stadium.
He therefore urged members of Assemblies of God, Ghana, to turn out in large numbers to fill the stadium during the revival rallies.
“We as members of this great church in Ghana have a rare responsibility imposed by heaven to fill every available space at the Accra Sports Stadium,” he said.
Rev. Wengam urged pastors, deacons, deaconesses, church leaders and members to use the congress as an opportunity to positively project Assemblies of God, Ghana, to the international community.
He described Ghana’s selection as host as an honour to the church and a demonstration of God’s grace.
According to him, the congress would not only glorify God but also serve as an opportunity to revitalise and strengthen Assemblies of God churches worldwide.
He said Ghana would be under the global spotlight during the event and urged members to showcase the country and the church at their best to delegates and visitors.
Rev. Wengam noted that the congress would also offer opportunities for tourism, business, investment and enhanced global visibility for Ghana.
He, however, emphasised that its central purpose remained the advancement of the spiritual mission of Assemblies of God worldwide.
Rev Wengam said the congress would provide an opportunity for the church to strategise towards achieving the MM33 vision of planting one million churches by 2033, as part of efforts to commemorate 2,000 years since the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
He stressed that the vision could not be achieved by church leadership alone, but required renewed commitment, unity and collaboration between the leadership and the membership.
He said Assemblies of God Ghana’s Transformational Agenda was already focused on planting more churches, building legacy temples and evangelising the nation.
He therefore urged members to move the initiative “to the highest spiritual gear.”
The launch at Cedar Mountain Chapel marks the beginning of local-level mobilisation for the global congress, with the church expected to take the message to congregations across the country.
Rev Wengam, who is also the Head Pastor of Cedar Mountain Chapel, expressed appreciation to the members for their support throughout his pastoral and leadership journey and called for their continued prayers and support towards the success of the congress.
He described Cedar Mountain Chapel as his “Jerusalem” and expressed confidence that the church would continue to grow, expand and attain greater spiritual heights.
He subsequently declared the 10th Triennial Congress of the World Assemblies of God Fellowship officially launched at the local church level.
“From today, pray Congress, dream Congress, think Congress, talk Congress and act Congress,” Rev. Wengam added.
