South East Ghana Union Mission joins WAD Annual Council for first time

The South East Ghana Union Mission (SEGUM) of the Seventh-day Adventist Church is participating in the West-Central Africa Division (WAD) Annual Council for the first time. The event, held in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, from November 4 to 11, 2026, marks a historic milestone for the newly established union mission. This debut appearance follows SEGUM's official inauguration earlier in January 2026, representing its formal entry into the broader administrative and decision-making structure of the regional church leadership.

During the week-long council, SEGUM leadership will engage in various administrative and spiritual activities designed to strengthen organizational ties. The council serves as a critical platform for reviewing achievements across different departments and aligning local mission priorities with the Seventh-day Adventist Church’s global evangelistic strategies. This high-level coordination ensures that the newly formed union is fully integrated into the divisional roadmap for spiritual growth and community outreach.

A central focus of this year's deliberations is the global OneVoice27 evangelistic initiative. SEGUM representatives are expected to share their progress and address the specific challenges they have encountered during their first year of operations. These discussions are intended to provide the union with tailored guidance from divisional leadership while contributing to the overall success of the church's mission across the West-Central Africa region.

The meeting in Abidjan provides an essential opportunity for SEGUM to consolidate its foundations following its recent formation. By participating in these strategic sessions, the union aims to refine its operational processes and enhance its capacity to serve its local constituents in Ghana. The outcomes of the council will shape the union mission’s strategic direction as it prepares for further growth and expanded evangelistic work in the coming year.
