Eastern Region B Assemblies of God, Ghana, experienced a deeply significant spiritual encounter as the General Superintendent, Rev. Stephen Yenusom Wengam , accompanied by his wife, Lady Monica Wengam, undertook an Apostolic Visit there. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Hosted at Akim Oda Central Church, the gathering was not just a symbolic gesture of leadership presence but a powerful moment of spiritual awakening marked by prayer, teaching, encouragement, and compassion.<\/p>\n

This visit \u2014 the third in Rev. Wengam\u2019s nationwide Apostolic Tour across all 24 administrative regions of the church \u2014 reflects a leadership vision that places high value on grassroots engagement, spiritual renewal, and pastoral care. Ministers from across the region, including active pastors and their spouses, retired ministers and spouses as well as widows of pastors, converged with one accord to receive both inspiration and impartation.<\/p>\n

In a spiritually charged atmosphere, the General Superintendent led the gathering in four hours of intense prayer and deep biblical teaching. Preaching from Matthew 21:13 \u2014 \u201cIt is written, \u2018 My house shall be called a house of prayer,\u2019 but you have made it a den of robbers\u201d ( NKJV) \u2014 Rev Wengam\u00a0 emphasized that prayer is the heartbeat of the church. His admonition was direct and sobering: \u201cA church that does not pray is dead \u2014 and worse, it becomes a den of thieves.\u201d<\/p>\n

This bold declaration was not a rebuke, but a clarion call to return to the altar, to rebuild the culture of intercession, and to reclaim the power and purity of the early church. The General Superintendent also led married couples to renew their vows.<\/p>\n

The Regional Superintendent, Rev. Obed Asiedu, expressed the joy and gratitude of the entire region for the historic visit. He lauded the First Couple for their tireless commitment to spiritual transformation and their personal efforts in connecting with ministers in every region of the country.<\/p>\n

In a demonstration of love and generosity, Mrs Wengam presented undisclosed cash donations and pieces of cloth to retired ministers and their spouses, widows of pastors, and the wives of pastors present.<\/p>\n

Her quiet act of benevolence spoke louder than words \u2014 a compassionate gesture that honoured the past and encouraged the present.<\/p>\n

At a time when many feel forgotten after years of service, this show of care was both healing and affirming.<\/p>\n
