The Moderator of the General Assembly of the EPCG, Rt Rev. Dr Lt Colonel (rtd) Bliss Divine Kofi Agbeko, delivered a sermon emphasizing the importance of making the Bible accessible to all. He noted that true discipleship requires engagement with God's word.

Rev. Dr Agbeko highlighted the significance of the diglot, stating that hearing God speak in one's own language is a profound experience. He encouraged parents to prioritize teaching their children their mother tongue alongside other languages.

The diglot, he explained, is not intended to replace the Ewe language but to facilitate easier translation of scriptures and promote fluency in both languages among readers.
