After weeks of anticipation, the Pamoja 2026 Conference was held from 29 July to 2 August 2026, just outside Accra, Ghana, bringing together more than 700 participants from 32 African countries.
The four-day practical ministry training featured dynamic workshops that equipped delegates with valuable leadership skills in addition to creating a memorable experience for them. The workshops included topics like “Leadership Transmission & Succession,” “Contextual African Missions Models,” “Building Thriving Urban Churches,” “Developing Self-Sustaining Districts,” among others.
The plenary sessions further strengthened participants through biblical teaching and practical insight that could be shared within their churches and districts. Featured presentations included “Growth in Authenticity and Relevance” by Daniel Gomis, Africa Region Director; “Our Identity” by Scott Daniels, General Superintendent; “Holiness in the African Pot” by Gift Mtukwan Dean of the School of Ministry at Africa Nazarene University; and “The Role of Laity in the Church” by Kafoa Muror, Asia-Pacific Region Director.
Each session began with heartfelt praise and worship before participants were challenged and encouraged through rich biblical teaching. The evenings concluded with worship and dynamic preaching from Daniel Gomis and NDI Global Director Sam Barber, respectively.
The plenary sessions and thought-provoking workshops both encouraged, equipped, and inspired participants to return to their local churches and districts to serve Christ and bring lasting changes to their communities.
The conference concluded with a powerful address from Gomis, followed by the ordination of 24 ministers from five countries—Togo, Liberia, Ghana, Côte d’Ivoire, and Sierra Leone. Many of these ministers have dedicated years of study and faithful service to reach this important milestone. We praise God for their perseverance and commitment.
The Africa Region extends its sincere thanks to everyone who travelled to Accra to participate in Pamoja 2026. The region is especially grateful to the many volunteers and organisers who worked tirelessly behind the scenes, often without recognition, to make an event of this scale possible.
