When we talk of 'Sakawa' boys, no one even thinks of pastors. But that's exactly what pastors do (sakawa). If their very expensive prayers work, why is it that overwhelming majority of their congregants are still poor, or can't find jobs, or the females still can't find husbands?

What he has said is half truth. I will dare not call him a liar but he has been so econmical with the truth. I can say without doubt that Bishop Agyin Asare was able to acquire this current property when he visited the Ghanaian community in Israel. He came home to Ghana with not less than $80,000 at the time when he was hosted by then Evangelical Christian Fellowship. It was the biggest place of worship then in Israel amo g the Ghanaian populace and he was very much advertized wuth posters all over so when he came the auditorium was always full. It was the first wave of this charismatic movement so people were awed by his actions and donated massively. Some gave him $1,000 each. I remember late Opoku Mensah and now Rev Gyasi gave $1,000 each, with others pledging to do same. His late sis Emelia, may she rest in peace, was very instrumental in his appeal for cash. The Presiding Elder eas Francis Amoah Kyei who for want of divine anointing served Agyin Asare as it were og Elijah and Elisha. Infact i have been economical with the $80,000 because it was aboit yhe official amount given but there were private donations as well and he came with wife and little boy Selassie. How could he be so ungrateful to those eho made him what he is today including his late sister Emelia and late brother Alex aka Brazil? He visited there three times and even at Easter ehen he had to preach anout the death and resurrection of Christ he rather preached "GIVE IT TO ME FIRST." Iam very much disappointed in you Bishop for ignoring our contributions because you mentioned your desire to purchase what is now your pride- Perez Dome when uou visited. Infact you have as am writing some of those people worshipping with you. How do you think that will make them feel? God is watching and you know i have spoken nothing but the gospel truth.

I have a cousin who atteNds this so-called church. She is constantly harassed to donate money. The most serious thing they do is to make those who don't have money PLEDGE that at the end of the month they will bring money if they receive their salary. I swear that there was one girl who completed one of the private universities in Ghana and had no job to do. Her parents were still looking after her. She was and is still a memeber of this Perez Chapel. As soon as she got a job to do she decided to be giving all her pay every month for a so-called God's work. She never buys anything for the upkeep of the house in which she lives. After the poor parents had suffered to pay her fees from kindergarten to university it is Agyen-Asare who is now enjoying all the money that the girl gets. One day I asked the girl. " Have you even once bought plantain to honour your parents for looking after you?". There was nothing she could say. I once listened to their preaching on radio in Accra and all that they were saying was how your family would "hate" you for spending all your time doing so-called "God's work". So when the young graduates have no employment Agyin-Asare doesn't care but if they get work to do then "God loves a cheerful giver". Is it not the money Agyin Asare steals from these ignorant people every Sunday that he is boasting about? God will punish him. A thief who refuses to advice those young church members to respect their parents but rather divides families. When they were going to baptise this girl they told her not to inform her family. The mother was at home one day and saw the girl and two church members passing by. It was when the mother asked where they were going before the girl said " I am going to get baptised". So this means the parents who looked after her are now witches so she does not have to inform them about her baptism. God will punish this thief called Agyin-Asare. God is good and is watching. Thanks for reading.

Yes, he is a man of God and he's blessed. Amen. But my question is after he and his family has lived and benefited immensely on the still poor mans tithes, what has he to offer back physically since we are still living on this earth. I think it's time to call a spade a spade. By this time, he should have built factories in order to employ the numerous unemployed youth who attend his church always praying for miracles to get employed. The next time we will hear, he has rather bought a private jet.

and what benefits have Ghanaians and africans at large gotten from this his so-called amazing story relative to having a job or able to get a living on their own?

If we all decide to build churches to mentally manipulate poor people to hand us their last cedi to enjoy with our families like this man is portraying here what will become of our country and continent?

all of you know both christianity and islam are damn fake religions but because many africans are too religious you continue to use it as a tool to enrich yourselves , brainwashing innocent africans into believing that allah or jesus will take them out their mess one day.

agyin asare, duncan williams, otabil, obinim, owusu bempa, tb joshua, kumchacha, whatever, all are fake. yes , fake because God never speaks to them about anything yet they always lie to the gullible followers that God says this and that. Just enjoy your poor people's money in shame you dead conscience fake pastors!!

Crooked saying they are Pastors where did the money come from. These so called Pastors aim for Big churches because the bigger one church is the more the congregation one would have and in the process make more money. Genuine prayers cost nothing. None should envy such success. It has been created by greed for wanting more and the victims those vulnerable women and some men in our society. To a worldly Ghanaian this is a success story but to a true Christian this is day light robbery.

Fact is ALL big time parsons in Ghana started, in one way or the other, from the scratch. Just look around them and you will get it it that none had had it easy. Abeg, why ddnt you mention anything about your political links? Dd they benefit from you? Dd you benefit from them? Why is it that a chapel in front of yours was demolished whilst yours which was deeper into the Adenta Aviation land remained untouched? Sometimes, we the non miraculous also see. It is only that our weight does not reach the rostrums... bedwam!

Just reading the comments. These people do not believe in heaven.They have amassed wealth and made big investments using poor peoples cash and boast about it.Unfortunately we have learned men and women who are members of their congregations. Agyin Asare, Mensah Otabil, Dag Heward Mills, And the criminal Nicholas Duncan Williams and others including their Nigerian counterparts are more than armed robbers. They sit in their comfortable air conditioned rooms formulate abstract and baseless theories based on their own selfish and criminal mindsets to deceive the poor to give more.

This bishop must as a matter urgency turn his attention to his Perez University College as it is a shame to have one floor building and a boys quarters looking structure classroom to call it a university College. The tertiary college is located at Pomadze near Winneba, which looks like a secondary school. The structures at Nduom university college that came in existence this year is far better than the Perez University College.

You skipped the Tamale Catering Rest house as one of the places you held church service.I thought you had forgotten that your church started from Tamale because I am surprised the Tamale Church is still in the wooden structure at Timber Market. You hardly even come to Tamale to hold crusades. Remember you started from here. Do you remember Consumer Credit at the time where your church member had to arrange to buy your TV , fridge etc on credit for you? You have come a long way. Do you remember your next door neighbor at Vittin Estates and was working at Ghana Cotton and what happened?
Ohooo, the good old days. hahahaha
Do you still wear the jerry curls as you used to? Congratulations. You have come a long way actually.

There is no need trying to answer some people. The fact is just clear. Even if Jesus was to come back to this world again people will still insult him to his face. Where were those that are from the fishes and bread he multiplied at the time he was to be crucified? Where were those that he healed? What about the children of Israel who saw wonders....with their bare eyes. When people get talking don't be surprised. They are just fulfilling the scriptures. History is clear abiut actions taken in this direction and end point. We all have a choice to choose where we want to stand...don't say it is the act of the devil or condition. If you give yourself to the devil or condition it's your choice. There is no need threatening people about the outcome of action .... Those who choose not to learn, will one day know. It's quite clear.

Classfm, if Perez was born 30yrs ago then church did not start 30yrs. So tells us when church started. If there are theseveral many branches so far how come not a single school or hospital yet but rather just an intention? Which church in Ghana of African origin has a school or hospital mainly for its members or for which members has a priority? Classfm, find something else to write about bcos some of us have risen above this sort of garbage. Lastly, tell us about the beginning of the church and the source of the capital for all the fantastic branches. My belief i's " Juju, Sakawa and all the rest ". PEACE!!!
