The Great Eternal Harvest International Ministry (GETHIM) located at Daaban, a suburb of Kumasi has marked its 16th Anniversary celebration under the theme: A year of God’s promotion.
A grand ceremony was held at the church auditorium to mark the event where pioneer members of the church were recognized for their dedication and unflinching support towards the church. The day also saw Rev. Richmond Cobbina, a pioneer member of the church inducted as an Associate Pastor.
Present to grace the occasion and to cut the Anniversary cake were a host of church leaders and renowned Powerful men of God including: ARCHBISHOP Prof. Oheneba Agyei Mensah, International Presiding Archbishop and Administrative Moderator of International Ministerial Council of Europe (IMCOE) who was the guest speaker.
Delivering his address, the founder and leader of the GETHIM church, Archbishop Prof. Dr. Asafo-Agyei Anane Frempong, expressed joy for the church which started from a humble beginning is growing from strength to strength.
He particularly cited the theme as rightfully chosen as the year marks the hour to honor loyal and hardworking members of the Ministry whose service he described as serving the Lord with ones free gift and talents as the highest call the Lord has given each and every one.
Archbishop Prof. Dr. Asafo-Agyei Anane Frempong urged awardee-members to eschew complacency but continue to coordinate well in the church to promote the work of the Lord “just as the same way the body parts coordinate” he cited and advised other members to also continue to perform their roles effectively.
Guest speaker, ARCHBISHOP Prof. Oheneba Agyei Mensah in his address observed the awardees were members who have been committed to the church from the beginning and preached to the gathering that commitment towards the work of God as a genuine church member will not only earn a reward on earth but most importantly in heaven.
GETHIM was founded by Archbishop Professor Dr. Asafo-Agyei Anane Frimpong, Chief Executive Officer of Asafo-Agyei hospital-Renowned Piles treatment centre (Kumasi) in January 2003 with a humble seed of just 8 members worshipping under a simple canopy. The need to accommodate more worshippers in a permanent edifice was quickly evident, and a new building was proposed and constructed for the church in March 2005. GETHIM now has a soaring interior with a maximum seating capacity of 2000 – plenty of room to attract and welcome residents in the neighborhood and visitors throughout the country. The church has three major training models, central to fulfill its mission: Medical Missions, Training Missions and School of Ministry. GETHIM is also made up of many ministries including Men and Women fellowship, Choir fellowship, Youth fellowship and Childrens’ fellowship. Through these ministries, the church focuses on expanding its vision of evangelism in Ghana and beyond.
