BEGINNINGS

postle Samuel Amponsah-Frimpong was born into the Christ Apostolic Church International on 9th April 1969 to Late Madam Esther Afia Frimpomaa and the Late Nana Amponsah Gyan. He was dedicated the same year into the Church by Apostle S.A. Addo of blessed memory. While a baby, Apostle S. A. Addo prophesied of the call of God on his life and did caution the mother that she should not allow any secular profession to disengage her son from becoming a minister of God. The apostle subsequently advised that he should stay with people of God. Consequently, Amponsah-Frimpong was made to stay with Prophetess Margaret Anane and, later on, Apostle Owusu Foe (all of blessed memory). In 1985, he was baptized by Rev. Rtd. J.K. Okrah in Dormaa-Ahenkro.
