Accra:The Executive Committee of the World Assemblies of God Fellowship (WAGF) recently visited President John Dramani Mahama before the 10th Triennial WAGF Congress, which will be held in Accra from October 14 to 16.
According to Ghana Web, the delegation was led by Global Chairman Rev Dominic Yeo and General Superintendent Rev. Stephen Wengam, who is hosting the event.

He urged the President to maintain Christian values in leadership and remain steadfast in his faith. Rev Yeo also presented Congress souvenirs to the President and led a prayer for him and the nation's prosperity.
