The EverGreen Church to host ‘The Speed Conference 2026’ on October 28
The EverGreen Church will host its annual flagship programme, The Speed Conference 2026, from October 28 to November 1, 2026, at its premises opposite Texpo Market on Spintex Road, Baatsona, Accra.
The five-night gathering will run at 6:00 p.m. each evening under the theme ‘The Supernatural’, inspired by John 3:8.
Hosted by the Founder and General Overseer, Pastor Isaac Nyame, the conference seeks to inspire, empower and strengthen Christians in their faith through spiritual renewal, biblical teaching, prayer and an encounter with God.
Distinguished ministers billed to minister include Dr. Robert Ampiah-Kwofi, Rev. Francis Aubyn, Pro. Nanasei Opoku-Sarkodie and Dr. Kwadwo Boateng-Bemah, alongside the host, Pastor Isaac Nyame.
Music and worship will be led by EverGreen Sound, expected to create an atmosphere of heartfelt praise, worship and spiritual reflection.
Now in its sixth edition since 2021, The Speed Conference has become a key moment for fellowship and spiritual enrichment.
According to Pastor Nyame, the conference focuses on divine acceleration into the fulfilment of God’s purpose.
“Everyone has expectations in life, whether for marriage, employment, promotion or a breakthrough. But one key factor that can make the difference is ‘speed’ which is the divine acceleration into the fulfilment of God’s purpose,” he said.
Referencing Genesis 24, he noted that when God orders the steps of a believer, what appears distant can come within reach and what seems delayed can begin to unfold.
“That is what speed can mean in the life of a believer: when God orders your steps, He can align the right people and circumstances to fulfil His purpose. You may look around and feel that others are miles ahead of you, but your story is not determined by their pace,” he added.

GES directs Ashanti Regional, Obuasi Municipal Education Directors to step aside over Obuasi SHTS scandal
The Management of the Ghana Education Service (GES) has directed the Ashanti Regional Director of Education, Dr. William Amankrah Appiah, and the Obuasi Municipal Director of Education, Mr. Kwamena Owusu-Nketiah, to step aside with immediate effect.
The directive forms part of ongoing investigations into allegations of sexual misconduct involving the headmaster of Obuasi Senior High Technical School (SHTS), Mr. Zakaria Abdulai.
According to GES, the decision is intended to ensure that the investigations proceed without potential interference, nor the perception of it.
The two directors are to hand over their offices and all state property in their possession to the Deputy Ashanti Regional Director of Education, Mr. Thomas Kwame Boateng.
Management added that the headmaster, Mr. Zakaria Abdulai, also remains interdicted and therefore urged the public to ignore any news circulating that he has been cleared.
Management is calling for calm, support and cooperation as thorough investigations into the matter continue.

The Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has joined the family of the late Professor Jason Atta Kwei Arday, the Ghanaian community in the UK, and other dignitaries for a memorial service in Southwark, UK.
In a post, Mr. Ablakwa described the service as deeply moving and unforgettable, held in honour of the late professor’s memory.
According to him, in keeping with the government’s pledge, he joined the family, Ghana’s High Commissioner to London, British MPs, Ministers, the Mayor of London, Cambridge scholars, Prof. Arday’s students and loved ones to pay respects and honour his inspiring legacy.
Mr. Ablakwa noted that Prof. Arday’s accomplishments as the youngest Black professor appointed at the University of Cambridge and his widely appreciated charitable contributions will continue to inspire generations.
“The Government and People of Ghana will continue to stand by our compatriots everywhere they are in the world. As we do so, we profess our commitment to justice, equality and the creation of a new world,” he said.
He prayed for fortitude for the family in what he described as an extraordinarily difficult time.
“We shall always remember Prof. Arday for his response when asked what he will wish to do to change the world: ‘I would take a thread and a needle, and I’d interweave love into our society’,” Mr. Ablakwa added.
