A praying mother.
A stirring of faith.
A life helped by God.
Before there was a pulpit, there was a Christian home in Ghana, a mother who prayed, and a boy trying to understand the call he felt.
Where it began ↓The first stirrings
Long before I could explain it,
I felt drawn to ministry.
I was born into a Christian home in Ghana, with a praying mother whose example was part of the foundation of my life.
Growing up Catholic, I was fascinated by the priesthood. I learned the recitations at Mass and memorized the order of service. I would model what I saw the priest do, drawn to a calling I was only beginning to understand.
That early desire was real. But my walk with God was about to become deeply personal.
God got
my attention.
At fifteen, I became born again and began walking with the Lord. The faith I had grown up around became a relationship I was choosing for myself.
Learning to lead
A calling began to take shape
in the company of others.
I joined Scripture Union at school. By my senior years, I was leading more than one hundred young men in prayer, preaching, and discipleship.
Those school years gave the call a practical expression: gathering to pray, opening Scripture together, and helping one another grow in faith.
Prayer. Preaching. Discipleship.
The work began there.
Learning to serve.
Being shaped
for ministry.
After high school, I moved to the United States and joined a church in Maryland. I served wherever I was needed: as a janitor, a youth leader, and later a youth pastor.
In 2017, I became the lead pastor. Each responsibility was part of the formation that came before it. Those years grounded me in the everyday work of ministry.
The call grew clearer through service.
Faith seeking understanding
The more I served,
the more I wanted to learn.
My desire to know God more deeply drew me back to school for master’s studies in theology, followed by doctoral study in theology and the Bible.
Study became another part of the same calling: learning about God while continuing to serve His people.
New places.
The same call.
In 2021, I relocated to North Carolina to assist a church through a transition. It opened another chapter of ministry and service.
I now pastor Clover Community Church, a new church plant in South Carolina. The work of prayer, teaching, and discipleship continues in this community.
My ministry now reaches beyond the United States. I’m working on ministry projects in Ghana, with more to share as those plans take shape.
From a praying home in Ghana to the communities I serve today, this is how I understand my story:
