It is a rare person who has soul-baring vulnerability, especially as a deacon, in front of the whole congregation, spontaneously, while on a Live Stream.
Overcome by the weight of his inner struggles, and contradictions, Nii shares everything… the love and death of his mother, the abuse by a Catholic priest, the suicidal thoughts and the contradictions he was wrestling with. His wife, his children, and his church were hearing this for the first time.
The Lord has moved greatly in and through Nii, before, during and after this pivotal moment. You won’t want to miss this everyday extraordinary faith story, which starts in a privileged home in Ghana.
IJohn 3:16- “By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.”

Nii Quotes:
SINGLE MOTHER “My dad did send money, but money doesn’t really fix anything. Money doesn’t give you happiness. Money doesn’t bring back your loved one that died. It helps in certain ways, but it can’t hold me when I’m sad and afraid as a little boy. Money can’t do that like a mother’s love.”
ADOPTION “You can make that change in a child. And if you are fighting it, ask God, and God will give you that one child, that forever in that child’s life, they will always remember you.”
