The World Assemblies of God Fellowship(WAGF) has announced the church will be hosting its 2026 world congress for the first time on the African continent in Ghana.
At a press conference in Accra on Wednesday, the Global Chairman of WAGF and General Superintendent of the Singapore Assemblies of God Rev. Dominic Yeo alongside Rev. Steven Wengam, General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God Ghana, and other executives, shared this historic news.
Globally, the Assemblies of God has a 110-year history.
The World Congress, first held in Seoul, Korea, in 1994, is typically convened every three years.
Previous locations include São Paulo, Brazil; Indianapolis, USA; Sydney, Australia; Lisbon, Portugal; madras- India. The rest Springfield, Missouri, USA; and Singapore.
The 2022 event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the baton for the 2026 Congress was passed to Ghana during the 2023 event in Madrid, Spain.
In his statement, Rev. Yeo noted, “Ghana’s stable democracy and welcoming environment make it the perfect host for our 2026 World Congress.”
This event will not only further our mission to win more souls to Christ but also offer substantial economic benefits to Ghana.
“We anticipate that it will enhance Ghana’s global profile, stimulate business growth, and attract international investors,” he stated.
He added that Ghana is considered as a democratic and peaceful and country.
