Stop sending me church invites - Drogba of YOLO fame

Actor John Peasah, known for his role in the TV series YOLO as Drogba, has asked Ghanaians to stop inviting him to churches due to his health condition.

In an Instagram post, the actor, whose medical issues have affected his ability to walk properly, said he has received numerous church invitations and no longer wants any more.

On August 30, 2024, Drogba reportedly received spiritual healing from Pastor Enoch Ofori Boamah, then-leader of the Christ Embassy Airport City Youth Church (CECY), during a Night Miracle Service. His sister testified in church that the YOLO actor had experienced profound healing during the prayer service.

I never said I was healed, my words were twisted - Drogba clears air over viral video

However, a year later, Drogba clarified that he did not receive an instant healing from the church miracle. He explained that while he felt slightly better after the service, his condition did not disappear immediately, noting that what he experienced was progressive healing, not an instant cure.

According to Drogba, ever since the Christ Embassy Airport City Youth Church service, he has been receiving overwhelming church invitations.

He emphasised that this is not the time for such invites to be about comparing power or influence, as he wants to avoid controversy and focus on his well-being

“In the name of God, I humbly request that you please keep me away from any further invitations to other churches. My DM is getting full of invites. This isn’t about comparing power or influence, it’s about my well-being. I’ve been through a lot and want to avoid any more controversy,” he wrote.

Reports about his condition in 2024 affected donations to his $280,000 fundraiser, which have stalled. The actor is appealing for financial support as he continues to battle demyelinating disorder, a condition that damages the protective covering of nerves in the brain, eyes, and spinal cord.

“I’ve moved forward and am grateful to have had the chance to clear things up. I believe in God’s miracles and power, and I pray for healing. Please help me get the medical treatment I need during this time,” he said.
