A total of 14 International Executive Council and Ghana National Council officers of the Great Com­mission Church International (GCCI) have been inaugurat­ed for a five-year tenure.

The induction service which took place in Accra over the weekend was for these officers to assist the church in bringing the gospel to people in other regions, localities and countries.

During the service, Dr Gordon Kisseih who inducted the officers charged them to fulfill the only purpose of the grace of God upon the lives of Christians as that would help them fulfill their minis­tries.

“For the gifts and calling of God are without repen­tance, whenever God calls a person into ministry, he also equips them therefore be assured God will sail you through your best step in his ministry,” he quoted.

The chairman of the IEC of GCCI, Mr Joseph Felix Kwesi Mensah in an acceptable speech on behalf of his col­leagues expressed gratitude to the church for the con­fidence reposed in them to further proclaim the gospel globally.

Mr Mensah encouraged his colleague members and all Christians to continue trust­ing and doing the will of God by winning and keeping souls in order to help finish the task of global evangelism.

On the part of the chair­man of the Ghana National Council (GPC), Dr Samuel Vincent Ansah added that the officers should strive to move the existing churches in the nation in God’s way because many were backsliding and misinterpreting the gospel.

“There are many things gripping the minds of people and the church must rise up to take charge. Although there are many churches and christians many are backslid­ing,” he said.

The officers inducted in­clude Mr Joseph Felix Kwesi Mensah, Dr Samuel Vincent Ansah, Apostle Prosper Yawo­tse Nové, Professor Samuel Assuming-Brempong, Rev. Godson Kwasi Gbloe, Rev Yawo Amenyo Atsuga and Rev Gérard Bodjona.

Others are Mr Richard Kwami Adanu, Rev Moses Kwame Obeng Pinkrah, Rev Stephen Toku Cato, Rev Dr Samuel Arthur, Rev Alexan­der Obeng-Oguamenah, Rev Emmanuel Kodzo Oppong and Rev Charles Somerset Ada­nunyo.

The GCCI which was founded on 1st April, 1991 in Ghana, has spread to many other countries including Togo, Benin, Gabon among others.
