A pilot training workshop for the implementation and the integration of the new 7me app, the Treasury feature of the Adventist Church Management System (ACMS) was organized by the West Africa Division of the Seventhd-day Adventist Church at the headquarters of the Northern Ghana Union Conference of Adventists at Mpatasie, Kumasi from 5th -11th September 2023. The workshop was facilitated by the ACMS product specialist of the General Conference of Adventists, Tiago Moisés, and the Southern Africa Indian Ocean Division’s Chief Information Officer of ACMS, Thembi Moyo. The WAD ACMS supervisor and Associate Secretary, Pr. Dr. Nathan Teye Odonkor as well as the WAD Treasury Representative for ACMS, Elder Matthew Annor Appiah supervised the successful training and implementation.

Sampling views from participants, the treasurer of Mid-West Ghana Conference, Seth Bonsu Amoah indicated that the ACMS 7Me app is going to be a good support for the treasury department as it would bring about a high level of efficiency in terms of reporting in time at both district and conference levels. The Southern Ghana Union Conference’s treasury representative also said the ACMS 7Me would ensure standardized reporting through the church system and hoped to get the best results for the treasury department of the Adventist church.
The treasury department of the Northern Ghana Union Conference, headed by Pr. Dr. Dickson Sarfo Marfo, coordinated the workshop successfully with over 90 participants from the twelve fields of NOGH with a representative of the Southern Ghana Union Conference Treasury, Cephas Tetteh in attendance.

As a membership management software, ACMS is now used in 10 of the 13 world Divisions, covering over 14.8 million members. WAD has been using ACMS since 2013. The 7me app will be used not only by NOGH, but also the entire WAD and over 350,000 people across more than 29 countries.
