Rev. Dr. Stephen Yannusom Wengam, the lead pastor of Cedar Mountains Chapel A/G has been elected the General Superintendent of Assemblies of God Ghana after securing a 60% of the total votes cast
The election was held during a recent A/G Ghana General Council 30th biennial council meeting within the week with the main election on Thursday, August 4.
Rev Wengam takes the place of Rev Professor Yaw Frimpong-Manso who has assumed the leadership position of the church since 2010 (for 12 years).
In his victory speech delivery, Rev Wengam said his immediate step is to “unite Assemblies of God for true spiritual revival and greatness.”
He also promised “visionary and progressive leadership of integrity, shift, speed, open heavens, and fulfillment of the Great Commission.”
Rev Wengam recalled that Assemblies of God, Ghana used to be the leading Pentecostal Church in Ghana. It was the first to establish a Bible School, a Radio Ministry, use social action activities to win souls, and transform communities. It was also the first church of Assemblies of God worldwide to produce a President and a Chief Justice of the Republic of Ghana.
Rev Wengam declared: “we will regain our position to become the leading Pentecostal Church.” Ours is a church destined for greatness and greatness is our portion. Remember, we are products of the Azusa Street Revival.”
Rev Wengam said the journey to the highest office of Assemblies of God, Ghana has been “ rough and tough as I endured odds, resistance, false accusations and misrepresentations.”
He expressed appreciation to God for raising him for that assignment, adding that “ it’s victory for the ordinary local pastor who may never become District Pastor, Regional Superintendent or Executive Presbytery Member but who now has hope that indeed God still raises Davids from obscurity to prominence. The lesson to all is that we should not put the law above grace.”
