The Assemblies of God Ghana Professionals Network was relaunched in a colourful ceremony at the Kempinski Hotel in Accra on Friday, August 2.
The network was formed in 2004 as the central platform within the Assemblies of God Ghana church for connecting the wealth of professional experiences for the work of the Kingdom of God.
Friday’s relaunch was under the theme ‘Sending the Light: Role of Christian Professionals’ and had former Chief Justice Georgina Theodora Wood as the Special Guest of Honour.
The re-launch of the network is to enable it to achieve its objective of building a network of professionals in the church, mobilise members to contribute skills, funding and other resources for missions and ministry, and coordinate church and humanitarian projects that uplift underserved communities.
It is also to create a pool of resource persons in career guidance and counselling, contribute technical and financial resources for investment to revamp existing projects and offer advisory service to the Executive Presbytery of the church on issues and interventions that may require specialised competencies.
General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God Ghana Church, Rev. Stephen Wengam, performed the relaunch and charged professionals in the network to represent Christ well in their respective fields.
Rev. Wengam also expressed his appreciation to all those who worked hard to revive the Assemblies of God Professionals Network.
“Assemblies of God recognises the presence of professionals and the absolute need to mobilise them for missions while providing the platform for their networking to create a pool for accessing such expertise and talents for effective administration of the church.”
The Chairman of the Governing Council of the Assemblies of God Professionals Network, Kwabena Adu-Boahene, traced the history of the work of Christian missionaries who gave impetus to the establishment of Assemblies of God in Ghana at a time when Christian missionaries were faced with huge socio-economic challenges among the populace in their quest to spread the gospel.
A brand new Nissan X-TERRA was donated to the national office of the Youth Ministry Department of Assemblies of God, Ghana.
An ultra-modern office space was also dedicated to the Assemblies of God Professionals Network. Similar offices are expected to be opened in the regions of the church.
