John Ntim Fordjuor is the Member of Parliament for Assin South
Member of Parliament for Assin South, Rev John Ntim Fordjour, has appealed to President John Dramani Mahama to order the withdrawal of a proposed regulation seeking to restrict preaching in commercial buses.
He argued that it could expose pastors and evangelists to imprisonment simply for preaching the gospel in public transport.
In a post shared on X on Thursday, October 8, 2026, he directly appealed to the President to intervene and prevent the proposed measure from being implemented.
“Mr President, please order them to abandon this bogus regulation which seeks to jail innocent Pastors and Evangelists simply for preaching in buses,” he stated.
Rev Ntim Fordjour also questioned whether the proposal had the President’s approval, suggesting that ministers could be pursuing unpopular policies without his knowledge.

“Now preaching JESUS in buses is described as NUISANCE? Or this is also part of the unpopular policies your Ministers are pushing without your approval? Who is really in charge in this govt?” he asked.
He disclosed that he began evangelising and preaching freely in commercial buses in Tarkwa around 2007, describing the practice as a longstanding part of his Christian ministry.
Rev Ntim Fordjuor insisted that the proposed restrictions would not stop him from spreading the gospel, declaring that he would continue preaching in buses, on streets, on campuses and in markets.
“We will continue to PREACH JESUS in buses, on the street, on campuses, in markets and wherever we shall find souls. We will be undeterred by these anti-preaching regulations,” he added.
Rev Ntim Fordjour also referenced his book, Preaching Jesus, which he said was inspired by his passion for evangelism, while questioning whether persecution or what he described as restrictive laws could stop Christians from freely sharing their faith.

I begun evangelizing and preaching freely in commercial buses in Tarkwa around 2007. Now they want to ban preaching in buses. I risk going to jail if I continue preaching JESUS in buses. But what shall separate me from the love of God? Shall persecution or senseless laws stop us from preaching the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ freely everywhere?

Mr President, please order them to abandon this bogus regulation which seeks to jail innocent Pastors and Evangelists - simply for preaching in buses. Now preaching JESUS in buses is described as NUISANCE? Or this is also part of the unpopular policies your Ministers are pushing without your approval? Who is really in charge in this govt?
We will continue to PREACH JESUS in buses, on the street, on campuses, in markets and wherever we shall find souls. We will be undeterred by these anti-preaching regulations. Thank God for the inspiration for this book which occupied my passion a few years ago -PREACHING JESUS.
