A gathering of clergy members came together to pray for the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) John Mahama on Tuesday at the De Icon Event Centre in Accra.
The occasion was designed for the former President to connect with Christian leaders from the region. It also served as a meaningful time for prayer, worship, and fellowship in a divine atmosphere.
During his address, Mr. Mahama outlined his vision for the country and sought the guidance and prayers of the distinguished Christian leaders present.
After his speech, several clergy members placed their hands on the kneeling Mahama, including Apostle Rev. Isaac Owusu-Bempah, founder of the Glorious Word Power Ministries International, who has faced criticism for his connections to the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).
In his opening remarks, Mr. Mahama expressed gratitude to the attending pastors and extended special recognition to Owusu-Bempah, whom he referred to as a close friend. The prayers for the former President were led by Rev. Owusu-Bempah as the group laid hands on him.
“This is whom you have elected to lead Ghana at a time like this. No power can stop it. It is through you that this country will see development,” the preacher prayed.
Among those in attendance were Rev. Sam Korankye Ankrah, the founder and leader of Royal House Chapel International, Rev. Dr. Stephen Yenusom Wengam, the General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God Church, and Rev. Kwaku Agyei Antwi, widely known as Rev. Obofour.
This gathering represents the NDC flagbearer’s inaugural significant engagement with clergy members in anticipation of the December 7 elections.
