Samuel Vincent Ansah, Chairman, Ghana National Council, Great Commission Church International (GCCI), has urged Christians to use the Christmas occasion to reflect on their callings as Christians.

"By the time of his return to heaven, there were 120 people who saw him off and who were committed to his mission and waited for the baptism of the Holy Spirit which he had promised."

"However, in Antioch, the followers of the Way were, for the first time, called Christians.
