Rev Wengam declared that “we will regain our position to become the leading Pentecostal Church.”
“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 I 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. The lesson to all is that we should not put the law above grace.”
