The annual Heads of Churches and Organisations Conference, organised by the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC), has commenced at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC) in Gomoa-Fetteh.
The three-day event, which began on Tuesday, February 13, 2024, is set to conclude on February 15, 2024.
The conference is being held under the theme “The Church: God’s Instrument For Peace And Transformation” (Ephesians 2:17).
In his address, the GPCC President, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, emphasised the transformative role of the church in society, stating, “The church remains the hope for the manifestation of the glory of God. We cannot limit our focus to just salvation of souls while ignoring the state of society; it is crucial we care about both.”
With the upcoming elections in Ghana, Apostle Nyamekye highlighted the significant role the church plays during such crucial times. He said, “This year, we will be heading to the polls to elect politicians to head Ghana; the role of the church in this crucial time cannot be overestimated. This requires us to provide our best support in any way possible to ensure that the peace of this nation is safeguarded from one election to another.”
Apostle Nyamekye also urged attendees to maintain a stance of non-partisanship, stating, “We must be a part of the solution, not part of the problem.”
He encouraged participants to recommit themselves to their calling as ministers of the gospel and to be agents of reconciliation in a broken world.
The conference features a line-up of distinguished speakers, including Apostle Eric Nyamekye (President, GPCC), Rt. Rev. Gordon Kisseih (1st Vice President, GPCC), and Apostle Dr. Aaron Ami-Narh (2nd Vice President, GPCC).
Among those present were Apostle Emmanuel Tettey (General Secretary, GPCC), Rev. Dr. Francis Sey (Treasurer of GPCC), Apostle General Sam Koranchie Ankrah (Former First Vice President, GPCC), and Bishop Samuel Mensah (Former NEC Member, GPCC), among others.
