Apostle Nyamekye noted that the Church opened 843 new assemblies and created 132 districts. He emphasized that these achievements align with their mission to spread the gospel.

“We give God praise for these accomplishments,” he said. “We aim to impact society by raising godly people.”

He mentioned various social initiatives supporting both members and the wider community. These include building boreholes, bus shelters, road repairs, and installing drainage systems.

The Church also maintains streetlights and conducts mass medical screenings. They have established food banks as well.

In terms of financial support, they spent over GHS17 million on education sponsorship. They also provided more than GHS10 million for healthcare support and over GHS1 million for apprenticeships.

Apostle Nyamekye urged Christians to pursue righteousness in all areas of life. He stated that both the Church and government should act righteously for national upliftment.

“Righteousness exalts a nation,” he added.
