The Assemblies of God church in Ghana has launched a television station – AGTV– in a bid to widen the outreach of the gospel across the world. This memorable event took place at the Assemblies of God, Ghana Headquarters in Accra and attracted senior members of the clergy, church members, and other invited guests.
The GH₵2m Ghanaian free-to-air television network would show a variety of programmes including sermons, gospel music, news bulletins, and sports highlights.
Launching the station, the General Superintendent of Assemblies of God, Ghana, Rev. Prof. Paul Frimpong-Manso, said the intent for AGTV was not only for profit “but also to promote the work of God and recover the lost, especially in the area of missions.”
Rev. Frimpong-Manso said the vision for the television station was hatched during the initial variant of COVID-19 which necessitated the closure of churches and other public gatherings. According to him, a lot more souls can be reached through the power of television. “With about 6,000 AG churches and almost 700,000 members across the country, the TV station owned by AG was handy in reaching the entire nation for Christ. “We believe we have the wherewithal to reach the ends of Ghana and the rest of the world with the gospel since the vision of the TV has been fulfilled,” he added.
Rev Frimpong-Manso urged members and pastors of the church to continue with their goodwill messages and sermons to add up to other programmes to be telecast. Rev Frimpong–Manso expressed the Church’s gratitude to all its pastors and members for their immense support in making the vision of the AGTV attainable.
The General Manager of AGTV, Mr. Abraham Asare, emphasized that the objectives of AG-TV are to be a point of reference as the leading Christian television station in Ghana and make the gospel of Jesus Christ common through the broadcast of life-changing messages.
AG-TV seeks to promote relevant AG church activities and programs, thereby presenting AG as the church of choice. Whiles providing quality Christian entertaining programs and Broadcast programs that give guidance and hope to the Christian youth, he further stated that AGTV shall be the preferred destination for businesses with quick returns for their investments.
