The Assemblies of God Church, Rhema Basilica at Afienya-Mataheko has kicked off its 15th anniversary celebrations, underscoring the transformative power of prayer in both personal and communal life.
Speaking at the launch, Rev. Daniel Ackam, District Pastor for Afienya, emphasized that the church’s growth and the fulfillment of Christians’ lives are rooted in a reliance on prayer. “The fuel of the church is the Holy Spirit and God’s power, which can only be accessed through persistent and faithful prayer,” he said. The launch was themed: “The Line Has Fallen to Me in Pleasant Places.”
Rev. Ackam reflected on the church’s humble beginnings 15 years ago with just five adults and three children, attributing its expansion to unwavering faith and consistent prayer. “This growth is a living testimony that prayer works,” he remarked.
Joining the celebration, Mr. Courage K.M. Nunekpeku, Managing Director of TDC Ghana Limited, encouraged Christians to make prayer a lifestyle. Sharing his personal story of losing his father at age 14, he highlighted how steadfast prayer helped him navigate life’s challenges. “Consistency and persistence in prayer invite God’s intervention,” he told the congregation.
As part of the anniversary activities, the church plans to engage the wider community through a float, open-air crusade, and house-to-house evangelism, aiming to spread its message and reach more souls.
The anniversary not only commemorates the church’s journey but also reinforces its commitment to spiritual growth, communal outreach, and the sustaining power of prayer in the lives of its members.
