He administered the holy communion to President Mahama and his family and anointed him for the next phase of his life.

In a brief sermon, Rev Wengam urged President Mahama to remain faithful to Jesus, seek intimacy with the Holy Spirit, and trust in the Lord alone for divine success, guidance and protection.

The General Superintendent further admonished the President to avail himself as an instrument in God’s hands to transform Ghana into a prosperous, peaceful and Christ – centered nation.

The rest of the clergy present were Archbishop Nicholas Duncan Willams, Rev Michael Ayesu, Rev Ben Tettey and Rev Rtd Ernest Agyei. Others were Rev Andrew N Awintia, Rev Aaron Fant and Pastor Boateng Sarpong.
