Almost eight months after the gruesome murder of the Senior Pastor of the Tema Central Assemblies of God Church, the Assemblies of God -Ghana, has inducted into office, a new Senior Pastor to officially head the church.
The church has had no senior pastor, after the gruesome murder of the Senior Pastor late Rev. Dr David Nagbemado in his office, eight months ago.
The immediate Past Chief Justice, Georgina Theodora Wood, described the induction service as timely and historical, looking at how the Church has recovered from the painful tragedy that struck it.
According to a report by GBC’s Gloria Anderson, last year December 30 will forever remain the darkest day in the church’s history.
Members of the Tema Central Assemblies of God Church were poised to mark the last Sunday of the year in grand style, but that was not to be, as the Senior Pastor Rev. Dr David Nabegmado who was scheduled to preach was murdered in his office.
The former Chief Justice Georgina Theodora Wood charged members of the church to fully support the new Head pastor to ensure the further growth of the church.
She encouraged the new pastor to always seek the face of the lord in whatever decision he takes to make the right choice.
The new Head pastor of the church, Rev Emmanuel Ofori served as an associate to the late Rev. DR.David Negamador.
He is the longest serving associate pastor in the record of the Assemblies of God church.
Conducting the induction service, the Greater East Regional Superintendent of the Assemblies of God Church, Rev. Dr. Joseph K. K Baisie charged members of the church to accord the new senior pastor the same respect and support given to the Late Rev. DR Negamador.
He also advised Christians to walk uprightly before God at all times.
The newly inducted senior pastor of the church, Rev. Emmanuel Ofori assured the church that he would continue to build on the legacy of all four past senior pastors.
Rev. Ofori pledged to lead the church with humility, integrity and dedication.
He said his foremost task is to see to the resettling of the family of the late senior pastor.
Rev. Ofori also tasked churches to pay attention to the security of their pastors and the church in general in the wake of recent terrorist attacks.
