Former National Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential aspirant, Dr. Ekwow Spio-Garbrah, may just have put his political career and other lucrative professional jobs on hold in order to devote more time to the service of God as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Action Chapel International. At the end of his sermon last Sunday, Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, General Overseer of Action Chapel, announced to the congregation at the Prayer Cathedral - the church�s newest appointment and then formally introduced the former Minister of Education and onetime Ghana�s Ambassador to the United States, as the chief executive of the church. The position of chief executive is an unusual one in a church organization, but Archbishop Duncan-Williams explained that Dr. Spio-Garbrah would assume administrative responsibility of the entire global network of Action Chapel International. The church has over 100 affiliate and branch churches spread across Africa, Australia, Asia, North America and Europe. Archbishop Duncan-Williams noted that he appointed his onetime Chief of Staff and a long time associate to take up the esteem role because of the need to develop and strengthen time-tested structures, particularly as the church�s scope of activities have expanded across the globe. The church has been granted the approval by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport for the commencement of two university projects in Accra and Kumasi. Archbishop Duncan-Williams, credited to have engineered the Christian charismatic movement in the country, noted that Dr. Spio-Garbrah had demonstrated his dedication to the church by placing his wealth of experience at the service of God while politics takes a backseat. �He is a brother and part of the church and not a politician,� said Duncan-Williams, who traced his long association with his new CEO during his time as Minster of Communications around 1998 when he [Duncan-Williams] met with President Jerry Rawlings and Dr. Spio-Garbrah and implored them to lift a ban placed by the government on preaching of the gospel on state-run Ghana Television (GTV). �I spoke passionately to them for about four hours after which President Rawlings asked Dr. Spio-Garbrah to lift the ban and, of course, Action Chapel was the first church to start preaching the gospel on TV.�
