Gospel Commando’s Movement Embarks on a 5-Days Intensive Leadership Camp Meeting

With the slogan Restoring Communities, Sharing Love, Deepening Relationships, Healing Our World, gospel commandos movement on 20th – 26th June, 2021 made history as supernaturally life changing days by organizing an intensive 5 days leaders camp meeting as vibrant young leaders were empowered with communication and relationship building tools for effective inter-faith engagement.

A gathering of 13 leaders (mainly Pastors from diverse ministries) from across the length and breadth of Ghana (including a Nigerian participant) was set on course for massive relationship building campaigns especially amongst adherents of the Islam faith.

A TYPICAL CLASS/ TRAINING SESSION

During the 5 day camp, intensive sessions in both theory and practice was engaged. With each day divided into three sessions (morning instruction session; afternoon practice session; evening feedback and coaching session)
The term ‘Gospel Commando’ churned by the Senior Minister (Dr. Ahmed Agyei) was used to simplify the purpose of gathering. The word ‘Gospel’ representing the ‘good news’ of salvation by grace through confession of faith in Christ and the term ‘commando’ been a military term used to describe soldiers who have been specially trained and commissioned for special and specific assignments. Putting the two words together, Dr. Agyei explained that our Lord was sending us out as commissioned ambassadors who perform specific and strategic tasks to advance God’s Kingdom and to depopulate hell.

Dr. Agyei was quick to stress that “the term commando has nothing to do with been a political or para-military group. Rather, it has to do with a paradigm shift (mindset); this is because, our master (Jesus) has alerted us about been wise as serpent as we operate amongst wolves (as His sheep). Also, Apostle Paul alerts us about the nature of the weapons of our warfare not been carnal but spiritual”. Hence, according to Dr. Agyei, “the goal of Gospel Commandos Movement is to train Christian disciples who invade Satan’s territory without deterring”.

He stressed that “Muslims and adherents of alternate faiths are not our enemies, but our friends in the common fight against Satan. We owe such a responsibility of love, honest sharing of faith and support in all good conscience”.

The Gospel Commandos Movement (GCM) then is a non-denominational Christian movement to equip and properly guide the Christian into understanding the Islam (alternate) faith, equipping with apologetic skills and engaging Muslims/ Imams all around us with Jesus’ love.
It is in this context that we are been trained as ambassadors for Jesus (“commandos”).
