The Cedar Mountain Chapel of the Assemblies of God, Ghana, has celebrated its 15th anniversary not with a grand party, but with a profound act of service — the construction and dedication of a new temple for the people of Ada Foah.
The newly built Cedar Redemption Temple, dedicated by the General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God, Ghana, Rev. Stephen Yenusom Wengam, stands as a symbol of the church’s commitment to missions and community transformation.
Located at Ada Foah in the Greater Accra Region, the temple was fully sponsored by Cedar Mountain Chapel, East Legon, as part of its mission expansion programme. The project, completed in 2024, fulfills the church’s pledge to spread the gospel beyond its walls and into less reached communities.
The temple has been named after the late Rev. David Nabegmado, the former Senior Pastor of Tema Central Assemblies of God, who was tragically killed in December 2018. Rev. Nabegmado had devoted much of his life and resources to training pastors and supporting missionary work within the Ada District.
Speaking during the dedication service, Rev. Wengam, who also serves as the Lead Pastor of Cedar Mountain Chapel, said the decision to build the temple was inspired by a divine call to mark the anniversary with a lasting spiritual legacy.
“The Lord laid it upon our hearts to celebrate His goodness by planting a new church at Ada Foah. Though we still need funds to complete our own main auditorium, we chose to prioritize this project in obedience to the Great Commission,” he said.
He prayed that the Cedar Redemption Temple would serve as a sanctuary of “refuge, breakthroughs, and blessings” for the people of Ada Foah and beyond, expressing optimism that the entire community would be transformed by the gospel.
Rev. Wengam also commended Nene Sappor, the traditional leader who generously donated the land for the temple’s construction, describing the gesture as an invaluable contribution to the Kingdom of God.
In a show of appreciation, the Greater Accra East Regional Superintendent of the Assemblies of God, Rev. Nelson Andrews Awintia, praised the Cedar Mountain Chapel for choosing to invest in God’s work rather than host an elaborate celebration.
“Many would have marked their 15th anniversary with a big event or party, but Cedar Mountain Chapel chose to sow into eternity by building a temple,” he remarked.
The dedication of the Cedar Redemption Temple not only honors the memory of Rev. Nabegmado but also signals a new chapter of evangelism and community development in Ada Foah — a legacy born from sacrifice, vision, and faith.
