This, he said, is consistent with the church\u2019s 2024 theme: \u201cSend the Light,\u201d as well as the instruction the Apostle Paul gave his son Timothy who was pastoring the church at Ephesus.<\/p>\n<p>Rev. Wengam emphasised that the mission of the church is to win souls and disciple the nations. He bemoaned the situation where the church is now focusing on the means to the end, not her major calling to propagate the gospel of Christ.<\/p>\n<p>Rev. Wengam called on the church to contribute her quota to ensure that the 2024 elections are peaceful, free and fair.<\/p>\n<p>Present were the General Secretary of Assemblies of God, Ghana, Rev.
