II A FAITHFUL STEWARD BOWS OUT: REV. DANIEL YAW AMANING RETIRES AFTER 23 YEARS OF DEDICATED SERVICE TO THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH OF GHANA II

After twenty-three years of unwavering commitment, selfless sacrifice, and distinguished service to God and humanity, the Presbyterian Church of Ghana celebrates one of its gallant soldiers, Rev. Daniel Yaw Amaning, as he retires from active ministry at a colorful ceremony held at the Emmanuel Congregation, Assin Adubiase in the Fosu South District of the Western Presbytery.

Born on 19th November, 1957 at Assin Akropong, Rev. Amaning's life story is one of dedication to both the classroom and the pulpit; a teacher, a chaplain, a headmaster, and a shepherd of God's flock.

A Teacher With a Divine Calling

Rev. Amaning's journey in the service of the Presbyterian Church began in 1996 at Boamponsem Secondary School, where he served as an English Language Teacher. His deep spirituality and moral uprightness did not go unnoticed, and he was appointed Acting Chaplain for three years. His administrative prowess later saw him rise to the position of Assistant Headmaster from 2000 to 2003.

In response to a higher calling, he entered the Trinity Theological Seminary, Accra, for his Special Ministerial Training (SMT) from 2000 to 2003, equipping himself for full-time ordained ministry.

Chaplaincy and Educational Leadership

Upon completion of his seminary training, Rev. Amaning was posted to Asankrangwa from 2003 to 2008, where he served faithfully as Chaplain for five years and later as Sub-District Minister for two years, a role he handed over to Rev. Adom Adjah.

His passion for education and youth development led him back to the classroom in a leadership capacity. From 2008 to 2013, he served as Headmaster of Daboase Secondary School, and from 2013 to 2017, as Headmaster of Eziama Secondary Technical School. In both institutions, he was known not just as an administrator, but as a father, mentor, and chaplain who combined academic discipline with Christian values.

Full-Time Pastoral Ministry

In 2017, Rev. Amaning was called into full-time congregational ministry. His first station was Christ The King Congregation, Sefwi Wiawso (2017-2021), where he served as Minister-in-Charge and District Minister with distinction.

He was subsequently transferred to Emmanuel Congregation, Juaboso (2021-2022) as District Minister, before his final pastoral station at Emmanuel Congregation, Assin Adubiase (2022-2026), where he served as Minister-in-Charge and Second Minister in the Fosu South District.

Across all these stations, Papa, as he is affectionately called, was known for his powerful yet humble preaching, his love for church education, his pastoral care, and his ability to build and unite the people of God.

Family Life

Beyond the pulpit, Rev. Amaning is a devoted family man. He is married to Mrs. Margaret Fosua Amaning, his faithful partner in ministry for decades. Their marriage is blessed with three children: Philomina, Stephen, and Augusta. He is also a proud grandfather to numerous grandchildren, three of whom currently reside with him.

A Legacy of Faithfulness
For 23 years, Rev. Daniel Yaw Amaning has embodied “that in all things, Christ might be pre-eminent.” He taught English but lived the Gospel. He led schools but shepherded souls.

As he retires from active service in 2026, the Church, Congregations, former students, and all whose lives he has touched, say "Ayekoo" for a job well done.

The Fosu South District, the Sefwi Wiawso and Juaboso Districts, the Western Presbytery and the entire Presbyterian Church of Ghana celebrate a faithful steward. While he retires from active ministry, his legacy of service, integrity, and dedication will continue to inspire generations.

We wish Papa Daniel Yaw Amaning and his family a peaceful, healthy, and joy-filled retirement.

Papa, God richly bless you.

II REV. EBENEZER AGYEI-MISAH ASSUMES OFFICE AS THE 9TH WESTERN PRESBYTERY CHAIRPERSON II

The Reverend Ebenezer Agyei-Misah has officially assumed office as the 9th Chairperson of the Western Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, beginning a five-year tenure of service to the Presbytery.

The assumption of office was marked by a handover ceremony held on Tuesday, 1 September 2026, at PCG, Trinity Congregation, Takoradi, with the leadership transition signifying another chapter in the continuing mission and ministry of the Western Presbytery.

In his acceptance speech, Rev. Agyei-Misah, drawing inspiration from Joshua 1:1–6, emphasised that “leaders come and go, but the mission of God continues.” He paid special tribute to the Immediate Past Chairperson, Rev. Dr. Joseph Apea Assamoah, for his leadership and service to the Presbytery, while also honouring all those who had served before him. He noted that leadership is ultimately a calling and commissioning from God.

He challenged the Presbytery to move forward with faith and courage, describing the challenges ahead as a “Jordan” that must be crossed. He expressed confidence that God had already provided opportunities for the Presbytery to possess and called on the leadership and members to have the faith and courage to take hold of them.

Rev. Agyei-Misah identified strength, courage and responsibility as essential qualities for the journey ahead. He stressed that leadership cannot be governed by fear and assured the Presbytery that challenges would be confronted through prayer, faith and collective responsibility.

Calling for unity, the new Chairperson extended his hand to ministers, leaders and members of the Presbytery, declaring, “We shall walk together. Let us walk together. I extend my hand.” He expressed his desire to make the five-year tenure count by building “a missionary alive Presbytery” united in fellowship and purpose.

He concluded with a rallying call to the Presbytery:
“Let us arise, let us cross the Jordan.”

II WESTERN PRESBYTERY HOLDS AN ESTATIC SEND OFF FOR REV DR. JOSEPH APEA ASSAMOAH II

At an electrifying environment with music from the Trombone (Brass) Band of the Trinity Congregation, Takoradi, prayer, laughter and emotional moments, the Western Presbytery bid farewell to its Chairperson, Rev Dr. Joseph Apea Assamoah and wife Mama Susana on Sunday 30th August 2026.

The valedictory service was well attended by officers of the Presbytery, Presbytery Council members, Agents and their spouses, Presbytery Executives of the various Generational and Service groups, Reps from Ecumenical Churches, Family, Invited Guests and Congregants of the Trinity Congregation.

The outgoing Chairperson expressed appreciation to the almighty God and all who had helped his Ministerial journey right from the time he served at the National level with the Bible Study and Prayer Group way before he was transferred to the Western Presbytery to his five year journey as the Presbytery Chairperson.

In his final exhortation on the theme- ‘The way of the Cross; from self to sacrifice’, He drew lessons from the life of Moses and remarked, “In order to accomplish God’s task you may have to sacrifice or give up something”. He therefore encouraged all gathered to embrace this call to sacrifice as Christians.

Again from the gospel reading from Matt 16:21-28, the Chairperson exhorted all to be careful about teachings of ‘a suffering free Christian life’. To him Jesus sees it as a teaching from Satan due to his response from Peter’s rebuke. As Christians we must learn to Deny the Self and Take up our cross in order to follow Christ.

He concluded by admonishing all gathered to let the readings from Romans 12:9-21 guide our relationship with the in-coming Chairperson.
Presentations were made to the Chairperson by the various districts, Presbytery groups, the entire Presbytery and others outside the Presbytery for his Selfless service rendered to the Presbytery to lift it to higher heights.

May the Lord continue to bless Rev Dr. Joseph Apea Assamoah and his family in their future endeavors.
