Accra: The Adventist World Radio (AWR) has announced plans to expand its Radio Ministry, focusing on transforming lives across various territories in Ghana. Pastor Immanuel Osoro Ogwal, the Africa Region President of the AWR, made this announcement during a visit to Pastor Col. (Rtd) Peter Nyarko Duodu, the President of the South-East Ghana Union Mission (SEGUM), and other Unions of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The visit precedes a radio training program scheduled for next year in Kumasi.
According to Ghana News Agency, the visit is part of AWR's efforts to strengthen existing partnerships and extend their mission in different parts of the country. Pastor Ogwal highlighted that AWR's global strategy centers around four key priorities: quality content, reaching people everywhere, making disciples, and building support for the ministry. He emphasized that the focus is not only on producing programs with good technical quality but also on ensuring that the content makes a meaningful impact in society, particularly in transforming lives.
The Africa Region President noted that AWR has already made investments in Ghana, including acquiring a radio station in Kumasi that broadcasts the Adventist message. Additionally, AWR has supported the South West Ghana Union Conference financially to purchase airtime on stations not owned by the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Pastor Ogwal mentioned that the initiative has yielded encouraging results, and there are plans to provide additional support while exploring further opportunities for expansion in the country.
Pastor Kwakye Adeefe, President of the South-West Ghana Union Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, stated that Pastor Ogwal's visit is vital for preparing the church for the planned training program and enhancing AWR activities in Ghana. He noted that the engagement would allow various Adventist Unions to organize structures ahead of the training and other radio evangelism initiatives. He added that the collaboration between AWR Africa and the Adventist Church in Ghana would improve radio evangelism across the country.
