Highlife artiste denies being a 'pastor'

Ofori Amponsah said he was never ordained as a pastor but sought solace in the work of God due to frustrations.

In a recent interview with Deloris Frimpong Manso on the Delay Show, he explained setting up the church was a result of turbulent times he under went emotionally.

According to him, he was never ordained a pastor but sought solace in the work of God due to frustrations after his failed musical career.

“I was not a pastor because I was never ordained; I just believed in God and decided to do his work”, he told Deloris Frimpong Manso on the Delay show over the weekend.

The ‘Otoolege’ hit singer announced that he was now a pastor and in fact built his own congregation, Family of Faith and Love in 2012.

The "Emmanuella" hitmaker also admitted to recording secular music with Kaywa while still running a church.

“Only a fool doesn’t change his mind. I know what my strengths are. I don’t feel like writing Gospel music. Gospel is my belief, and I will not waver from it,he said.

"It is a belief I have in God…I won’t change. But I don’t think that God calls everyone to be a Gospel singer…”, he submitted among other things.
