Romans 8:28
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
I was born and raised in Switzerland and placed into foster care at a very young age… just one of the many attempts by the enemy to abort God’s calling upon my life. While my mother always remained present in my life, I was raised by a Swiss foster family and later moved with them to a remote mountain area village with a population of just 450 people. During my teenage years, my biological father rose to become a prominent political figure in Ghana. Thus, my family dynamics were a bit complex, but what the enemy intended for harm, God used for good, bringing forgiveness, healing, and redemption to every area of my life.
At the age of 21, after receiving a miracle scholarship to study at a 4 year University in the US, I gave my life to Jesus within the first week of arriving in the United States and radically left behind all worldly ways. The following year, during a visit to Florida, I received the prophetic call on my life, confirmed supernaturally at two different churches within the same week (because God knew I might doubt it otherwise). Since then, I’ve had several supernatural encounters including hearing the audible voice of God, that have marked my journey and fueled my passion to see others awakened and walking in purpose.
I know what it feels like to be misunderstood, an outsider, rejected and I also know what it’s like to be treated with high regard and honor because of my father’s position in Ghana. This contrast, along with the many ups and downs and trials as well as the years in the wilderness that I experienced in my life, became part of my preparation and gave me the unique ability to relate to people from different backgrounds and to speak to hearts across cultures, classes, and experiences.
I am currently serving as one of the ordained leaders at New International Church in Switzerland, where I’ve been deeply planted and aligned with the vision of the church for many years and where I am also submitted under the wonderful leadership of my pastors. Through mentorship, training, and years of character development, God has continued to shape me and I am being continually prepared to make an impact in this world and build God’s Kingdom.
Awaken. Pray. Do Exploits.
