Assemblies of God unveils AG TV

Assemblies of God Church unveiled a television station christened AGTV on Sunday to help in the propagation of the Gospel as well as complement other Christian efforts.

The General Manager, Abraham Asare, said, AGTV is a high-end Christian television channel in Ghana focused on reaching everybody with the inspired Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Mr.Asare added that, “AGTV brings inspiration and revival to viewers, enabling many to give their lives to Christ, while helping others to renew their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.”

Addressing the gathering at the launch at the Headquarters of the church in Accra on Sunday, January 16,2022, the General Supertintedent of Assemblies of God, Rev.Prof.Paul Frimpong-Manso said, the desire and the vision to set up a television station had always been there, however, it was hastened when COVID-19 struck the world.

He said, the development led to closure of churches for a period of time, and this gave way to churches to reach out to members through other media.

Against this backdrop, they revisited the television dream and fast-tracked it and through the support of some benevolent individuals and the church, the dream has become a reality.

Rev.Prof.Fimpong-Manso said, with about 6,000 AG churches and almost 7,000 membership across the country and with presence in all regions and districts of Ghana, a television station for the church came in handy.

Touching on the cost incurred, he said through individuals, chruches and other organisations, they raised about GH₵700,000, adding that the total cost of equipment and gadgets, demarcations,installations, furniture, electrical works computers, registration, authorisation came to approximately, GH₵2 million.

He said that the church still had other expenditures to make and trusted that individuals and Assemblies of God churches would continue to help.

Some executives of the church and members took a toured the facility.
