The General Superintendent of Assemblies of God, Ghana, Rev. Stephen Wengam, together with members of the Executive Presbytery and the Centenary City Project Committee, has officially cut the sod for the commencement of the Church’s Centenary City Project at Shai Hills in the Greater Accra Region.

Chairman of the Centenary City Project Committee, Rev. Mawuli Benson, announced that all preparations have been completed for construction to begin. He explained that the ambitious project will be executed in three phases.

The proposed Centenary City will feature state-of-the-art conference facilities, accommodation for over 6,000 people, a hospital, an administrative complex, a museum, a fire station, and a wellness centre. Other key facilities include auditoriums, a prayer mountain, and a prayer garden, all designed to serve the spiritual, administrative, and social needs of the Church.

Delivering a brief exhortation, Rev. Wengam drew inspiration from the book of Nehemiah, recounting how God used an ordinary man to lead the rebuilding of Jerusalem’s walls and gates in just fifty-two days. He noted that despite limited resources and strong opposition, Nehemiah trusted God and accomplished the task.

He encouraged members of Assemblies of God, Ghana to unite behind the vision through fervent prayer, generous financial support, and active participation, expressing confidence that the project would be completed by 2031, when the Church celebrates its centenary.

Rev. Wengam then led members of the Executive Presbytery in dedicatory prayers before officially breaking the ground to signal the commencement of construction.

As part of the first phase of the project, construction of a perimeter fence around the Church’s over 130-acre property is already underway.

The General Superintendent expressed profound gratitude to Mr. Seth Mike Quaye for generously donating the land and to the traditional authorities for releasing the additional land required for the project. He also commended the Centenary City Project Committee for their selfless dedication and unwavering commitment to bringing the vision to reality.

In support of the project, several individuals and church bodies made generous financial pledges. The Greater Accra East Region, led by Rev. Andrews Awintia, pledged GHS100,000. Rev. Stephen Wengam and Lady Mrs. Monica Wengam pledged GHS200,000, while Rev. Albert Anane, Eastern Region “A” Superintendent, and his wife pledged GHS50,000.

The Centenary City Project is expected to become a lasting legacy for future generations and a major milestone in the history of Assemblies of God, Ghana as the Church prepares to celebrate 100 years of God’s faithfulness in 2031.
