The Church of the Assemblies of God in Ghana on Saturday inaugurated the headquarters of its General Council in Ridge, Accra, built with about 30 million GH ¢, which will serve as an administrative office to help spread the Gospel of Jesus -Christ in the world.

Dr. Douglas Edward Clay, General Superintendent of the Church of the Assemblies of God, United States of America, led the congregation to dedicate this facility, in a climate of great excitement and praise to God for a gift so commendable. The spectacular building, dubbed "The Great Commission House", includes offices for police officers, departments and agencies, as well as a bookstore, rental spaces, a guest house. and a restaurant.

Construction work on the state-of-the-art facility began on July 4, 2016 and was completed within 28 months. Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen, Minister of Trade and Industry, who represented President Akufo-Addo at the inauguration ceremony, congratulated the Church for its immense contribution to the country's development.

He urged the Church to educate its members so that they register for the national identity card (Ghana map), as the national electronic register established by the Authority The National Identification System (NIA) would become a central database allowing all institutions to access information on citizens.

In addition, the Government would rely on the information in the NIA register to plan the infrastructure needs of Ghanaians; while the Ghana Card would become the first reference identity card in all future transactions.

Reverend Professor Yaw Frimpong Manso, General Superintendent of the Church, said the office complex "would bridge the gap between staff and housing" and serve as a springboard for the spread of the gospel and Pentecostal flames around the world.

"The Great Commission would be a center of excellence where Christian values ​​would be defended and the responsibility and ethics of work would be presented to the glory of God," he said.

He acknowledged the financial contributions of members as well as Ecobank Ghana Limited for the provision of a loan to the Church for the completion of the facility.

The construction of the building, he said, was a manifestation of the fact that when people united for a common purpose, nothing could prevent them from achieving their goals.

The teacher. Frimpong Manso urged Ghanaians to make an effort to bury their differences and rally behind the government to do the impossible and help the country's development.

Madam Justice Georgina Theodora Wood, the former president of the Supreme Court, a member of the Church, traditional leaders, clergy and members of the church from all over the country were present for the happy occasion. The ceremony was interspersed with praise and praise, dances and thanksgiving to recognize the many blessings of God.
