The Assemblies of God (A/G), Ghana, has celebrated the decades of dedicated Christian ministry and community service of the retiring Head Pastor of Revival Restoration Centre Assemblies of God at Roman Ridge, Accra, Apostle Alex Kwaku Nkrumah, and his wife, Rev. Mrs Elizabeth Nkrumah.

The couple were honoured at a retirement service in Accra last Saturday in recognition of their contributions to church growth, missions, community development and the training of church leaders.

The ceremony, held under the theme: ‘KAVOD: A Steward’s Honour,’ was attended by the clergy, church members and other dignitaries to celebrate the couple’s years of service and lasting contribution to the church and society.

The General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God, Ghana, Rev. Stephen Wengham, who chaired the occasion, commended Apostle Nkrumah for demonstrating that effective Christian leadership was measured by the impact made on people’s lives rather than the position one occupied.

Rev. Wengham said Apostle Nkrumah’s achievements showed that ministers serving at the local church level could make significant contributions to the growth of the church without necessarily occupying the highest ecclesiastical offices.

“Leadership is not position. Leadership is the ability to make an impact and influence your immediate environment,” he said

Citing Apostle Nkrumah’s church-planting efforts as an example, Rev. Wengham disclosed that the retiring pastor had established 41 churches.

Apostle Nkrumah, who said he received his calling into ministry in 1982, founded Revival Restoration Centre in 1990.

His ministry has also reached 217 communities, organised 20 years of free medical outreaches and raised more than 35 frontline pastors.

In his retirement message, Apostle Nkrumah urged young ministers to remain faithful to the word of God and make service to humanity central to their calling.

He cautioned ministers against using scripture to justify personal opinions, saying their conduct and relationships with others must reflect the teachings they preached.

The Newtown District Pastor of the Assemblies of God, Rev. Eugene Anim, also paid tribute to the couple for their commitment to church planting, missions, prayer and the training of church workers.
