The Second National Week of Fasting and Praying by Assemblies of God churches throughout the country has ended.
It was a period of intense prayers for the well-being of the nation as well as the success of the Transformation Agenda of the church and its theme for the year, “Send the Light,” which focuses on aggressive evangelism, massive church planting, and growth.

Next were prayer sessions with Licentiates and the Executive Committees of Accra East, and Accra West regions.
On the third day , the Executive Presbytery Officers met with probationers and exhorters of Accra West Region of Assemblies of God, Ghana to pray for the nation and the church.
