Rev. Willie @ 70...What a Platinum Celebration

Pictures by Edmund Smith-Asante. All Rights Reserved ©

It is good to be good and selfless. That was the message that was echoed and re-echoed in the hall of the 3 Dees Event Centre at Tema Community 3, where family, friends and loved ones had gathered to surprise a Man of God, Rev. William Ofori-Adu, affectionately called Ps. Willie.

The surprise celebration well put together by the celebrant's wife, Beatrice and children, attracted his siblings and very old friends and acquaintances who had all agreed to be present to honour Rev. Willie due to the very cordial and personal relationship they had with him.

And it was indeed beautiful seeing the utter 'shockprise' on the face of Rev. Willie who clearly had no clue that his own family had successfully planned a 'coup' against him. Go through some of the images captured to get the whole picture of the surprise party, as seen by #Edmages.

To celebrate 42 years of the establishment and existence of the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC) and the Lord's goodness, members of the church across the world stepped out in style in the church's specially designed cloth.

From a very humble beginning on February 26, 1984, the church has grown into a mega Christian community with branches (Temples) not only across the country, but also across the globe.

All praise and thanks to God for the life of the founding father, Dr Mensa Otabil and all the other pioneers who partnered him to bring the vision to pass.

Below are some pictures of how some of the congregants at the Holy Ghost Temple of the church at Frafraha in Accra showed up at church on Sunday, March 1, 2026, as the ICGC commemorated its 42nd anniversary.

The celebration was a solemn, yet joyous occasion and the venue was the International Central Gospel Church's (ICGC) Christ Temple East at Teshie in Accra.

It was the 60th Birthday Celebration of Dr Maurice Nyamekye, Director, Lynch Medical Services Ltd. also known as 'Tee' or 'One Love' by close friends and associates, held on Saturday, February 14, 2026 (Valentine's Day or Chocolate Day) depending on your preference.

Dr Nyamekye decided to celebrate his Diamond Jubilee in the House of the Lord with loved ones, and so it was a worship as well as communion service, during which the celebrant and his wife were joined by invited guests to partake in the Lord's supper. So in effect Christ Jesus Himself attended the party.

All clad in white apparels, friends and loved ones took turns to take pictures with the celebrant after the church service. Check below for some of the memorable moments captured by #Edmages.

Stacy @ 21 surprise celebration

The first daughter from the union between Edmund and Felicia, turned the ripe age of 21 on Tuesday, February 17, 2026. To God be the glory.

The parents decided to surprise her on campus at a meeting with her Joyful Way family in the evening of her birthday, which was almost blown away at the last minute when the daughter saw the parents. Thank God though, that there were more surprises than the small slip before the surprise was pulled off.

The emotions of the celebrant said it all as the surprises unfolded. We are thankful to all the collaborators who assisted to pull this off. Special thanks to Bit Bites for the special drinks to mark the day. May God surprise all of you even as you helped surprise Eustacia (Stacy).

Some scenes and occasions must be documented and they were, thankfully. See pictures below.
