He particularly saluted Apostle Prof. Opoku Onyinah and his leadership team for their immense contributions to the Society's success in recent years. The Archbishop emphasized his deep conviction that the Word of God remains the most powerful tool to transform lives, communities, and nations. Quoting 2 Timothy 3:16-17, he highlighted the importance of Scripture in equipping believers for every good work.
Looking ahead, Archbishop Dr Agyinasare outlined his vision to advance the Society's mandate by building a self-sustaining organization, advocating for Bible work at high levels of influence, and engaging every church leader in Ghana to integrate Bible distribution and study into their ministries. He also pledged to promote the Annual Bible Week as a time of renewal and recommitment to the Word of God, urging all Christian leaders to embrace the Society's programs fully. With confidence in God's help and the support of the Christian community, he is committed to making the Bible Society a living force in every home, church, and heart in Ghana.
Archbishop Dr. Agyinasare outlined his vision for the future, focusing on building a self-sustaining Bible Society, engaging in high-level advocacy, and involving every church leader in the mission of Bible work.

Following the induction of the new President, Archbishop Dr. Agyinasare also inducted the reappointed Council and Committee members, reaffirming their roles in advancing the Society's objectives. The ceremony featured powerful musical ministrations from renowned gospel artists Joe Mettle, Ceccy Twum, and Rev.
