Apostle Francis Ohene Adu,
                 CEO

Apostle Francis was born a Catholic in 1976 in Sunyani-Kyeraa, Ghana to Mr James Kwaku Mensah, a Catholic catechist cum schoolteacher and Madame Deborah Yaa Amponsah. He grew up in Sampa with his Presbyterian aunt, which meant his basic Christian training was in the Presbyterian Church of Ghana from 1980-1998. During his childhood, he was a member of the Scripture Union and the Infant Bible School where he attained knowledge of Scripture by being encouraged to commit large passages to memory. At age twelve, he officially gave his life to Christ after watching John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress as a result of evangelistic outreach presented by “Challenge Cinema Today”. Beginning at the young age of ten and continuing until age twenty-two, he attended annual evangelist crusades by the Presbyterian Church of Ghana where he was taught to bring the gospel to the local villages making him accustomed to evangelising and spreading his love, knowledge and fire for God.

In 1991, he received the gift of tongues during a revival service organised by the Scripture Union of Sampa led by Evangelist Kusi Berko, but the gift became dormant due to lack of knowledge on how the gifting operate. In 1998, after returning to Ghana from Ivory Coast, he sought the Lord to re-equip him with the gift of tongues to enable him to pray for long durations. He fervently started fasting and praying through the night, seeking God earnestly, which opened him up to spiritual encounters and a deeper knowledge of God’s ways.

He became a messenger of the Gospel and when his work started in Ghana from 1998-2009, the LORD sent him to understudy various leaders. These include Prophet Francis Amoah Hagan (1998-1999); Prophet Frank Frimpong (1999-2000); Rev. Nathan Kwasi Yeboah of Word Faith Chapel, Accra (2002-2009); and Rev. Kumah John Bray of Fountain Gate Chapel, Burkina Faso (2003-2006). He co-planted his first church “International Grace Gospel Church” in 1998 in Berekum (Bono Ahafo Region) and from there he has built churches in Bibiani (Western Region), Efiduasi (Ashanti Region), and London. He also travelled around Ghana preaching the gospel and training up students on campus (St Monica’s Senior High School).

In 2007 he begun to work at an oil company in Accra, Ghana but after only two years, God commanded him to resign. Five days after leaving the company in obedience, he miraculously received a visa to the UK without applying for it in January 2009. Following this, on February 15, 2009, he received apostolic separation from the Holy Spirit in order to be sent to the UK for the commencement of the work of the Great Awakening. As a result, Rev. Nathan K. Yeboah and his entire clergy with the congregation laid their hands on him to separate him in accordance with Acts 13:1-4 for the work of the ministry.
