The General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God church, Reverend Stephen Yensuom Wengam is urging educational institutions to partner the church to transform the lives of students.

Rev. Wengam observed the inability of the institutions to handle spiritual issues.

“The church handles issues that are beyond the control of the educational institutions. This means the church handles spiritual issues that the schools cannot handle.

“There are things that the secular institutions can’t handle. I mean man has a spirit who has a soul and issues of the spirit of people cannot be handled by the academic disciplines and that is when we come in,” he said.

He said this when the Executive Presbytery of the church paid a courtesy call on the Vice-Chancellor of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Prof. Rita Akosua Dickson.

The visit sought to strengthen the relationship between the church and the university.

The meeting centred on the need for the church to liaise with the educational institutions to provide quality education.

“Quality education should not be narrowed to the study of the secular discipline but should include the alteration of the spiritual lives of the individual.

“We know that quality education is not only studying the secular disciplines but transforming the spiritual lives of the people is very key,” Rev. Wengam.

The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Rita Akosua Dickson thanked the delegation for the visit and asked them to continually remember the school in their prayers.
