The General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God, Ghana, Rev Stephen Yenusom Wengam, has underscored the need for the Christian community to resist doctrines and practices that are alien to the core values of Christianity.

He also urged Christians to defend the sound principles that define the true Church of Jesus Christ.

Rev Wengam made these remarks while addressing the Biennial National Ministers’ Wives Conference of the Assemblies of God, Ghana, held at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in Kumasi.

The conference was themed: “The Faith of Our Fathers in Action” based on John 14:12.

The General Superintendent called on pastors’ wives to rise and exhibit “audacious faith” while playing a leading role in defending the doctrines of the church.

He further urged believers to pass on the authentic Christian faith to the next generation through evangelism and aggressive church planting in unreached communities.

Rev Wengam cited the example of the three Hebrew children in the Bible, who refused to worship the false god of King Nebuchadnezzar despite the consequences.

“This uncommon faith should inspire the present generation of Christians not to compromise their faith, even under the most challenging circumstances,” he stated.



The Minister of Gender, Children and Social Protection, Dr Agnes Naa Momo Lartey, who was the Special Guest of Honour, admonished participants to “grow in the faith and preserve the structures of the church that make this possible.”

The National President of the Ministers’ Wives Association, Lady Monica Wengam, challenged pastors’ wives to emulate the exemplary faith of Sarah and patiently wait for the promises of God.

She announced that the association had sponsored the construction of a legacy temple in the Afram Plains at a cost of nearly GH¢400,000.

Lady Wengam also disclosed that the association’s next project would be to plant a church and construct another legacy temple for the new congregation.

Various speakers at the conference addressed topics including mental health, nutrition and body wellness, building strong families, and the role of pastors’ wives in promoting church growth through effective social skills.



Other presentations focused on cultivating executive presence and emulating the unmatched faith of the fathers of the Christian faith.

About 3,000 pastors’ wives attended the conference.
