Born into a Catholic home with very strict christian parents, his dream was to become a Roman father.

However, the man of God said his dream was cut short due to the desire of the flesh.

Bishop Owusu Ansah revealed that, at a tender age of 11, his peers pressured him into smoking ‘tampi’ [marijuana] which also made him a deviant.

Due to his waywardness, his father never supported the idea of he becoming a catholic priest.

The man of God explained that, his father feared he would disgrace the family with his immoral behavior at the parish.

But, Bishop Owusu Ansah said he stood his grounds and pursued his dream after he moved out of his parent’s home.

He quit the Catholic church and joined Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) where he became born again and got baptized.

He then joined Resurrection Power and Living Bread Ministries International where he served diligently until his appointment as the Accra West Regional Overseer.

Bishop Owusu Ansah shared his inspiring story on Showtym with Andy Dosty on Adom TV.

The host of Adom Ahengua and the Accra Regional Overseer of the Resurrection Power and Living Bread Ministries, Bishop Yaw Owusu-Ansah, has waded into the controversial debate on homosexual activities in Ghana.

He said the practice is alien to the Ghanaian culture and values and must be rejected with the bill to criminalise the activities passed immediately.

Bishop Owusu-Ansah explained the country’s next generation is the target and will be affected by whatever the outcome of the bill will be, hence, President Nana Akufo-Addo must endeavour not to disappoint with his position on the debate.

His comments come a few days after the President emphasised the need for civil debate and tolerance as Parliament works towards a vote on the controversial anti-LGBTQI+ bill.

Speaking in an interview on Accra-based Peace FM, he said there is a need for members of the public to respect opposing views on the matter.

“What I would hope for is that the debate itself be civil, that we will recognise the need for us to be tolerant of each other even when there are opposing views.

“I think it will be a credit to Ghanaian democracy if this matter is handled in the correct manner. I can’t feel pressured,” the President said.

However, speaking on Adom FM, the man of God said though Parliament will have to pass the bill, the President has the ultimate say.

He added: “I don’t agree with the President’s position that we should leave it for Parliament but I cannot fight him but he should not disappoint the next generation.”
