The General Superintendent of Assemblies of God, Ghana, Rev. Stephen Yenusom Wengam, has called on pastors, church leaders and members to intensify mobilisation efforts ahead of the 10th Triennial Congress of the World Assemblies of God Fellowship, to be hosted in Ghana in October.
Rev. Wengam made the call on Sunday, August 30, 2026, at Cedar Mountain Chapel in Accra, where he launched the global congress at the local church level.
The congress, scheduled for October 14 to 16, is expected to bring together about 10,000 pastors, ministers and church leaders from Assemblies of God congregations across the world.
Ghana to host global congress for first time
Ghana will host the World Assemblies of God Fellowship Congress for the first time in the organisation’s 110-year history.
The main activities will be held at the Independence Square and the Accra Sports Stadium.
Daytime sessions at the Independence Square will feature seminars, workshops and working sessions, with participants paying a GH¢100 fee, while the evening revival rallies at the Accra Sports Stadium will be free to the public.
Rev. Wengam said the spiritual significance 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 urged members of Assemblies of God, Ghana, to turn out in large numbers for the revival meetings and help project the country’s hosting of the global event.
‘One Mandate, Every Nation’
The congress is being held under the theme “Commissioned: One Mandate, Every Nation,” based on Matthew 28:18–20.
It was officially launched internationally in Accra on November 14, 2025, by the Global Chairman of the World Assemblies of God Fellowship, Rev. Dominic Yeo.
Rev. Wengam said the congress presents an opportunity for the church to reflect on its global mission and strengthen its evangelisation efforts.
He said one of the major objectives would be to advance the MM33 vision of planting one million churches by 2033, as part of the church’s plans to mark 2,000 years since the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
According to him, achieving the target will require a renewed commitment from both church leadership and members.
Ghana in global spotlight
Rev. Wengam said the hosting of the congress would place Ghana and Assemblies of God, Ghana, in the international spotlight.
He therefore urged pastors, deacons, deaconesses, church leaders and members to use the event to positively project the church and the country to thousands of international delegates and visitors.
Beyond its spiritual objectives, he said, the congress could provide opportunities for tourism, business, investment and international engagement.
He stressed, however, that its central purpose remained the advancement of the spiritual mission of Assemblies of God worldwide.
Rev. Wengam also linked the congress to Assemblies of God Ghana’s Transformational Agenda, which focuses on planting more churches, building legacy temples and expanding evangelisation across the country.
Local mobilisation begins
The launch at Cedar Mountain Chapel marks the beginning of the local-level mobilisation campaign, with the congress message expected to be taken to Assemblies of God congregations across Ghana.
Rev. Wengam, who is also Head Pastor of Cedar Mountain Chapel, expressed appreciation to the church for its support throughout his pastoral and leadership journey.
Describing Cedar Mountain Chapel as his “Jerusalem,” he expressed confidence that the church would continue to grow and expand.
He formally declared the local mobilisation for the 10th Triennial Congress launched and urged members to make the congress a focus of their activities ahead of October.
“From today, pray Congress, dream Congress, think Congress, talk Congress and act Congress,” Rev. Wengam said.
