Rev Wengam was speaking at the forecourt of the State House in Accra during the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols, hosted by the Parliament of Ghana. Rev Wengam, who also serves as Vice Chairman of the Africa Assemblies of God Alliance (AAGA), said the Christmas story presents critical lessons for both personal and national advancement, one of which is reconciliation. “We must reconcile with God vertically and reconcile with our neighbours, colleagues, spouses, and children horizontally,” Rev Wengam added. Touching on governance, Rev Stephen Wengam said political leadership must pursue a national vision that transcends narrow partisan considerations, adding that such a vision must be anchored in strong moral values as a compass for holistic development. Rev Wengam also urged the government, Parliament, and other state institutions to intensify efforts to protect human rights and advance the welfare of Ghanaians.
