President of the Ghana Evangelical Missions Association, Rev. Kwame Ahlijah, has called on Ghanaians to fully embrace technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI) as key drivers of national progress.

He warned that Africa is still suffering from the consequences of being left behind in the Industrial Revolution, and Ghana must not repeat history by failing to engage with AI and digital transformation.  

Speaking at the 34th General Meeting of the society, Rev. Ahlijah cautioned that complacency and resistance to technological advancements will only widen Ghana’s gap in the global digital economy, making it harder for the nation to compete on the international stage. 

"Technology is not the enemy—it is the future. If Ghana fails to harness AI, we risk being sidelined in the global economy," he indicated.

He further called for strategic partnerships between the government, private sector, and missionary organizations, stressing that collaboration is essential for Ghana’s economic and social development. 

"We must equip Ghanaians not just spiritually, but also intellectually and technologically, to compete on the global stage," he added.

Addressing national security concerns, Reverend Enoch Nii Narh Thompson called for proactive peace building efforts, urging Christians to play a role in conflict resolution and reconciliation.

As part of its broader mission, the Evangelical Society of Ghana is expanding its nationwide outreach efforts.

The society aims to engage more communities, promote social transformation, and empower Ghanaians through faith-driven initiatives and technology integration.
