Anagkazo

Since it’s inception in 1996, the ABMTC Alumni Office is launching the first ever gathering of all the Alumni’s of the prestigious Bible School in the Presence of God. Excitement is in the air as the highly esteemed ABMTC (Anagkazo Bible and Ministry Training Center) kicks its preparations into high gear, getting ready for a grand reunion of its treasured alumni spanning across various year groups. Themed ‘Reunite with your Mates & Fathers in the Presence of God’, the homecoming is much anticipated!

Set to happen on from the 5th to the 10th of December, 2023.

The media drive has already begun because the Anagkazo Alumni Homecoming has been a long time coming and long overdue. The buzz is palpable, as former students from different eras eagerly prepare to converge for a meticulously planned spirit filled week full of impartations and thanksgiving! It’s a momentous occasion that promises a celebration of the enduring bonds and achievements that have been woven into the rich tapestry of ABMTC’s history remembering how far God has brought the school and the alumnus of the school.

In a heartwarming initiative spearheaded by the visionary Chancellor and the school’s administration, ABMTC is on a mission to rekindle the flames of ministers birthed by the institution. This is a great time to reconnect current students with their ministry fathers and providing an nostalgic walk down memory lane for all the incredible alumni who’ve graced the Bible school. With the tireless dedication of the Alumni Office, the gears are set in motion, the campus in buzzling with excitement as even the current students longingly wait to meet products of the prestigious ABMTC.

The Chancellor, an unwavering advocate for equipping and empowering ministers, holds the conviction that training men and women in ministry remains one of his life’s most profound callings. To witness ministers, nurtured and refined within the walls of the Bible school, stepping into their God-ordained destinies, stands as a profound source of delight and joy.

For the alumnus wondering why now and not any time earlier or later? The Bible says that there is a time for everything under the sun, this may be a time of anointing, a time of fresh oil and a time where callings and giftings are revived and kindled.

ABMTC has produced ministry founders, Bishops, Reverend Ministers as well as Ministers from the various dispositions and works of ministry who due to one reason or another have not been able to gather together. Jesus was a gatherer, he gathered from the east, the west, the north and the south, like Jesus the aim is to gather, to reconnect various alumni’s with one another so that they can be well acquainted with one another. Interestingly, there are so many alumnis doing well that do not know of one another, there are so many alumni’s that could and would motivate one another but none of that is happening because they do not know of one another!

As the Anagkazo Alumni Homecoming draws near, the Anagkazo campus is brimming with eager anticipation and heartfelt excitement, ready to extend the warmest of welcomes to each and every cherished alumnus and alumna.

This isn’t an exclusive invitation; it’s an open-armed embrace extended to every alumnus, regardless of age, experience, or journey. It’s an invitation for the young and the young-at-heart, for every individual who has ever been touched by the transformative spirit of this remarkable institution. This grand reunion isn’t just for a chosen few; it’s a celebration for everybody, where stories converge and friendships rekindle, weaving new chapters into the ever-evolving tale of Anagkazo.
For any further information and registration, every alumni should kindly contact the Alumni Office on +233599035960.

Worthy of its name by all standards, the stone walled, magnificent “Great Hall” is a sight to  behold at the largest Bible School in Ghana and Africa, the Anagkazo Bible and Ministry Training Centre. 

The Great Hall Courtyard, Anagkazo Bible and Ministry Training Center, Mampong.

This gorgeous Hall has been home to some of the most memorable events in the history of  the United Denominations Originating from The Lighthouse Group of Churches (UDOLGC). Any former attendee of one of the Mountain Of The Lord  camps cannot forget that supernatural experience, jam-packed with people spilling off the steps of the stage, gathered at the feet of their Prophet. The Give Thyself Wholly Conference and the Saturday morning Anagkazo Encounter Service are other examples of the powerful  times that this holy, 4,000-seater space has hosted.

Easy to spot from all the way across the spacious car park, it stands two or three times as tall as the conjoined office blocks, which are neatly and functionally constructed to form a Square Courtyard. As you walk through the reception area into the open Courtyard, large stretches of well manicured lawn and the same stone-tiled paths that weave throughout the campus greet you – Architectural Consistency is one of the trademarks of this magnificent  campus.

With Multiple Doors on three sides of the Building, there is easy access and exit, as well as excellent ventilation which is crucial in these times. A step through one of the Slim Grey Doors transports you into a dazzling Auditorium complete with a Stage that occupies its breadth, Stained Glass Windows, and Beautifully Tiled Pillars. Rustic then meets Modern, with organised Rows of Colourful Cushioned Chairs, and state-of-the-art Stage Lights. Simply breathtaking!

Mark 6:5 

From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given  unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands? 

The Anagkazo Campus is a modern-day manifestation of these Words, and a Testament to the Presence of God in the Ministry of Bishop Dag Heward-Mills. Why not pay a visit and see for Yourself?

By Joan B. Martin

God is love! So it comes as little surprise, that the Campus of one of the largest Bible Schools in the world, The Anagkazo Bible and Ministry Training Centre, a prime location for Bible School Students and people hungry and thirsty for God is also a special haven for lovebirds.

Walk through the campus any day and be sure to meet a young couple on a sight-seeing visit to the campus, strolling leisurely down the ‘Attempt Great Things Highway’. You’ll hear the  birds chirping animatedly in the lush greenery on either side of the pair, mirroring the hidden excitement of the gentleman as they near the ‘Propose To Me’ Bridge.

And she, deep in conversation with her good friend about nothing in particular, starts to secretly wonder if today is the day! The day her status changes! The day she’s upgraded from “Friend” to “Beloved” (fiancée).

A few steps ahead, the highway becomes a bridge next to a pond upon which the Akuapem Mountains’ very own ‘Jet D’eau’(water jet) sits, captivating the young couple. All conversation melts into “ooohs” and “wows” as a rainbow dances across the two powerful streams of clear water shooting several meters high.

On the barricade that separates them from the water, colorful signs read the lyrics of “The Proposal,” a love song written by Bishop Dag Heward-Mills. 

A good view of the ‘Jet D’eau’ finds the couple standing right in front of the sign that reads “Propose to Me Bridge,” and after confidently clearing his throat, our brother does just that with a perfectly timed speech. The question is popped, a hug is shared and in the excitement of the hour, they forget the purpose for which they initially started down the hill.

 

With love in the air in one corner of the campus, prayers being lifted up to God in another, as well as classes and camps being held all at once, we can see that this spiritual haven caters to both life and godliness, reflecting the spiritual mind and fatherly heart behind its construction. 

God bless Bishop Dag Heward-Mills!

From Beijing to London to Accra, many of the world’s cities have a Square to boast of. A Square in  the Mountains, however, is not as common. Yet, nestled in the Akuapem Mountains, amidst the hills of the impressive Anagkazo Bible and Ministry Training Centre, the Jesus Saviour of the World Square sits stately and proud, earning the awe of all who lay eyes on it. 

A walk down the steep slopes adjacent to the Mighty Fortress—a slightly precarious journey for the  ladies in their Sunday high heels—leads you to a contrastingly flat and large expanse of red,  sandy ground that stretches out all around you for several square metres. Once a week for the  first half of 2021, it was dotted with red and black socially distanced chairs that were filled by  young vibrant Christians from the city and surrounding towns alike, with our statement hats, sunglasses and umbrellas to protect ourselves from the midday sun.

With or without the chairs, however, the most commanding aspect of this open-air space that has  been the First Love Church’s refuge, is the Stage. This architectural feat is front and centre, several feet above the ground, complete with steps and a pulpit, entirely hewn out of the red, rocky mountainside with thick foliage as a backdrop. 

Therein, against the dark green is found the Square’s crowning feature: a bold, white sign akin to  Hollywood’s that shouts, “JESUS SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD,” which now appears to be a  landmark for the planes—they would circle and hover above us during the service.  Rain or shine, it was under this great banner that we gathered to worship, fellowship and sit at the feet of our  Prophet, Pastor, Teacher, Father and Architect of this great Edifice, Bishop Dag Heward-Mills.

As you drive into the prestigious Anagkazo Bible and Ministry Training Centre, one of the largest Bible Schools in Africa, there is no denying that there is a shift in the spiritual atmosphere. Not far from the very entrance is situated the 100% Answered Prayer Gardens, and this fact may well be a main reason for that sense of a different aura.

A broad flight of steps leads to the entrance of the gardens, where the comfortable Wise As Serpents lodging is also found, as if to eliminate excuses for a short stay. 

Past the sign that promises what individuals, Bible students, couples, families, church groups and the like come from far and near to seek – 100% Answered Prayer – the lush garden stretches out before you in its hilly, serene glory, punctuated with palava huts, cement benches and rustic stone paths that snake their way through the well-tended grass and flourishing trees. 

Near the far-right corner, against all the green, a pristine, white wedding chapel sits prettily atop terrazzo steps, broadening the capacity in which the Gardens serves its visitors.

Early in the mornings, the twilight birdsong is accompanied by the rhythmic sweeping of the Bible students on duty for maintaining the grounds of this spiritual haven – cleanliness, they say, is next to godliness. 

Day or night, storm or sunshine, you will hear them, hungry hearts from all tribes and tongue crying out to God, loving Him, seeking Him, and laboring in prayer, accompanied by preaching or music playing in the background.

In this latter-age Eden, what should be cacophony blends together harmoniously with the rustle of trees, the trickle of a tastefully constructed mini-waterfall at the east end, and the near regular pitter-patter or roaring torrent of tropical rain.

It is here, right here in these gardens, beautifully designed by Bishop Dag Heward-Mills, mighty testimonies of breakthroughs, divine healing, salvation and divine escapes are birthed!

A place of deep fellowship and communion with God, a place just like Eden!
