Th lead Pastor of Cedar Mountain International Church in Accra, Rev Dr. Stephen Yenusom Wengam, has been elected General Superintendent of Assemblies of God, Ghana.
This was made public at the 30th Biennial General Council Meeting of the Assemblies Of God Church.
The event was held at the University of Cape Coast, and was attended by over 3,000 attendees.
Rev. Dr. Wengam, 50, was elected to take over from Rev. Professor Yaw Frimpong-Manso who has been in the General Superintendent position for 12 years now.
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 stated, “we will regain our position to become the leading Pentecostal Church.”
He also added, “Ours is a church destined for greatness and greatness is our portion. Remember, we are products of the Azusa Street Revival.”
Rev. Dr. Wengam said the journey to the highest office of Assemblies of God, Ghana has been rough and tough as he endured odds, resistance, false accusations and misrepresentations.
He expressed profound appreciation to God for raising him for that assignment, adding that it’s a 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.
He said, “The lesson to all is that we should not put the law above grace.”
