Bishop Dag Heward Mills pointed out that ‘looking at the history of Ghana as a nation, it is abundantly clear that the church has contributed greatly to the systematic and peaceful development of this nation. Not only is the church the true source of morality, as the preaching of the word of God provides clear direction for the morals of the nation, but also the church has and still contributes greatly to the nation’s development through its churches, bible schools, secular schools, hospitals, universities, orphanages, and compassion-driven initiatives’. He reiterated that ‘it is my firm belief that the church will continue to continue to the development of the nation’. Bishop Kwame Yirenkyi Ampofo, and Rev. Kwasi Deh were sworn into office, by Her Ladyship Mabel Agyeman, as the Chairman and General Secretary respectively.

In his acceptance speech, the Chairman acknowledged the Bishops of the Ghana Charismatic Bishops’ Conference as people who have blended education and intelligence, with their unique brand of spirituality. He said accounting for the many years and variety of experiences these Bishops have, any message from them will truly be relevant and prophetic. The Chairman described the Bishops’ he represents as men and women, who have accomplished much over the years, in leadership, people handling skills, practical achievements and hard work.

He promised to remain faithful to the word of God, faithful the messages, the ideas, the concerns and the interests of the church of God in Ghana. He pledged to be nothing, but an ambassador of the Ghana Charismatic Bishops’ Conference and a defender of God’s word and truth; to be a servant to the church, free from the fear of men. On his part, the General Secretary, in accepting the task, said ‘relating with leaders of the church and that of the nation requires the greatest wisdom’.
