It is often said that anyone who chooses to work in the Lord's vineyard has chosen a good profession so is history maker Ms Gifty Frimpong.

The 24 year old medical student of the University of Cape Coast Medical School, has been ordained as a Pastor in the Assemblies of God Church.

She was ordained after graduating from a four year studies at the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary, South Campus at Kormantse in the Central Region.

Ms Gifty Frimpong has made history as she is the youngest ever person to be ordained a priest by the church in its entire history.

The newly ordained Priest will undergo a one year service at the Jehovah Jireh Assemblies of God Church at Adenta Japan Motors, near Lakeside Estates.

Like most graduates who undergo one year national service, this will enable her learn on the job at least for a year before she pastors a church on her own.

At the graduation ceremony, the Superintendent of the Assemblies of God Ghana, Reverend Professor Paul Frimpong Manso commended this particular  batch of 2020 for the tremendous sacrifice.

“In spite of the challenges, you have weathered the fierce storm to graduate. As gospel ambassadors, you have been trained and equipped with all you need for successful ministry work.

“The seminary has given you a broad knowledge enough to allow you to adapt to a wide range of real life ministry situations,” he said.

Rev. Prof. Frimpong Manso admonished the graduands to brace themselves up for low and high moments but encouraged them not to renege in their resolve to live above reproach in serving Christ Jesus.

“I can promise you that you will never go astray or have problems with any authority, as long as you stay within the context of scripture.

“Some of you will start your ministry work from the scratch. Others may be assigned to already existing churches and yet some of you will be assisting your senior ministers.

“Some of you will pitch your tents in the urban centres and others in the rural areas. Wherever you find yourselves, I expect nothing but the best in your respective endeavours,” the superintendent said.

Rev. Prof. Frimpong Manso also urged the graduating ministers to desist from unnecessary comparison and competition and not follow charlatans.

“I mean the modern day magicians and fetish priests who are parading and masquerading the streets as prophets of God. Be true and honest men and women of God and not 419 ‘God of man’,” he added.
