World Assemblies of God leader visits GIS

The Global Chairman of the World Assemblies of God Fellowship (WAGF), Rev. Dominic Yeo, paid a courtesy call on the Comptroller General of Immigration (CGI), Mr Samuel Basintale Amadu, to discuss preparations and solicit support for the 2026 World Assemblies of God Congress scheduled to be held in Accra. The visit formed part of early engagements with key state institutions to ensure smooth planning for the global event, which Ghana will host for the first time.

According to a statement signed by Deputy Commissioner of Immigration Maud Anima Quainoo of the GIS Public Affairs Department, Rev. Yeo led a delegation to the GIS National Headquarters in Accra on Wednesday. The delegation included the General Superintendent of Assemblies of God, Ghana, Rev. Stephen Wengam, and the Chairman of the GIS Governing Council. During the visit, the team officially informed the Directorate about the upcoming Congress, scheduled for October 14-16, 2026, and requested collaboration from the Service.

Rev. Yeo noted that this would be the first time the global gathering is hosted in Africa, adding that Ghana was chosen for its strong democratic credentials and reputation for peace and hospitality. He highlighted that the event is expected to boost tourism and attract investment into the country. Rev. Wengam commended the professionalism of the GIS and appealed for logistical support for the institution from the global church body.

The CGI, who is also a member of the church, praised the Assemblies of God for its contributions to missions and national development. He assured the delegation of the Service’s full cooperation and presented a plaque of honour to Rev. Yeo to commemorate his visit.

The World Assemblies of God Congress is a major global event bringing together Pentecostal denominations to promote evangelism, missions, and discipleship worldwide. The 2026 edition, themed “Commission. One Mandate, Every Nation,” is expected to attract more than 10,000 delegates, making it one of the largest Christian gatherings ever hosted in Ghana.
