I was born 18 years ago in Kumasi, a city right in the heart of Ghana. My parents were both raised in Christian families and are both Christians. My mum, as a youngster, attended the Roman Catholic church but after she married my dad, she followed him to his church, the Methodist Church.

I was therefore born and raised in the Methodist Church. I grew up believing in the Word of God and thus believing in Jesus Christ as my Lord and personal Saviour. I believed that he came down to the earth and was crucified that I might be saved. I also believe in his resurrection, and know that he is the way, the truth and the life; that no-one can come to God the Father, except through him (John 14:6). 

On the whole, Christ has always been the 'role model' in my life. I must admit that living as a Christian is not easy at all. There are times when things fall apart and everything seems rather bleak, making me tremble in my Christian faith. Moreover, I know that not everyone in this avant garde society will like you because of your faith; rejection and persecution might come in. Ups and downs in the Christian life are a surity but the Lord has promised nevertheless to see me through: "for though a righteous man falls seven times, he rises again" (Proverbs 24:16).

I know that life on earth and in heaven is neither my right nor anything I deserve. I owe everything to the Lord Jesus. My life, my hope, my strength, and my refuge is in the Lord God Almighty.
