Reverend Stephen Yenusom Wengam, the Lead Pastor of the Cedar Mountain Chapel, was installed as the General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God in Ghana during a colourful event that was attended by hundreds of worshippers, clergymen, family members, friends, and other stakeholders.
Visitors from Ghana and outside attended the professionally run introduction ceremony, which also served as the occasion for the commissioning of the new Executive Presbytery Officers of the Assemblies of God, Ghana.
The Accra International Convention Centre (AICC) Grand Arena was unable to hold everyone due to the large number of participants, therefore the organising team had to set up seating outdoors and install massive screens so that everyone could participate in the service.
