Assemblies Of God Launches TV Station

The Assemblies of God church has launched a television station – AGTV – in a bid to widen the outreach of the gospel across the world.

Sunday’s launch at the Assemblies of God Church Headquarters in Accra attracted senior members of the clergy, church members and other invited guests.

The GH¢2m Ghanaian free to air television network would show a variety of programmes including sermons, gospel music, news bulletins and sports highlights.

Launching the station, the General Superintendent of Assemblies of God, Ghana, Rev. Professor Paul Frimpong-Manso, said the intent for AGTV was not only for profit “but also to promote the work of God and recover cost, especially in the area of missions.”

Rev. Frimpong-Manso said the vision for the television station was hatched when the COVID-19 pandemic hit Ghana, which necessitated the closure of churches and ban of other public gatherings.

According to him, a lot more souls can be reached through the power of television.

“With about 6,000 AG churches and almost 700,000 membership across the country, the TV station owned by AG was handy in reaching the entire nation for Christ.

“We believe we have the wherewithal to reach the ends of Ghana and the rest of the world with the gospel since the vision of the TV has been fulfilled,” he added.

Rev. Frimpong-Manso urged members and pastors of the church to continue with their goodwill messages and sermons to add up to other programmes to be telecast.

Rev. Frimpong-Manso expressed the church’s gratitude to all its pastors and members for their immense support in making the vision of the AGTV attainable.
