The theme for the programme was “Send the light” (for growth and expansion) Acts 13: 47. The main speaker for the occasion was Rev. Dr. Alex Nkrumah, the lead pastor of Revival Restoration Centre, Roman Ridge, Accra. The Executive Presbytery Official who graced the occasion was Rev. Dr. Godwin Tito Agyei, the Assistant General Superintendent of Assemblies of God, Ghana. Both the speaker and Assistant General Superintendent touched on the purpose, objectives, strategies, and principles of sending the Light.

Rev. Dr. Godwin Tito Agyei, the Assistant General Superintendent emphasised that the message of the Samaritan woman in John chapter four outlines the fact that, the gospel crosses boundaries, cultures, ethnicities and personal sentiments. “Jesus asked the woman for water but she did not give him the water directly as requested but instead questioned Jesus about the sour relationship between Jews and the Samaritans. After the encounter with Jesus, she hurriedly went into the city to spread the Good news” he stressed. This means “We must send the light to all people”.

In his report, the regional superintendent Rev. Efiinu Kwaku Obiako, touched on the plans of the region for this new year and added that besides sending the light, they are trusting God to get missionaries and financial support to put up places of worship for the new churches that shall be established and the churches that were kicked out of classrooms due the ban of worshipping in classrooms by the government.

Rev. Efiinu outlined 6 challenges of the region with the lack of a versatile vehicle to facilitate movement across the region through the unmotorable roads in the region.

His Excellency and former President of Ghana, Mr. John Dramani Mahama graced the occasion and supported the programme with ten thousand Ghana cedis(Ghc 10,000).
