Pastor
Solomon Awuah
Pastor Baffour Awuah joined the Apostles
Continuation Church in 1987 at Brekum in the Brong-
Ahafo Region of Ghana, after trying unsuccessfully
to acquire a visa to join his friends overseas. Fortunately
a friend introduced him to the church where he accepted
the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal savior, and
was baptized in Brekum by Pastor Adjei. He later moved
to Accra to establish his own business.
Pastors' missionary work started
in Accra where he met Apostle Paul Menu who adopted
him as his spiritual son and helped him in his spiritual
growth. He was mandated to form the welfare ministry
in the Accra branch which became very successful.
Due to his large family size he later moved to Achimota
but commuting to and fro to weekday evening prayer
service became time consuming and tedious . Undeterred
by this problem Pastor and his wife found an opportunity
in the situation by starting an evening prayer service
under a tree and later moved to a classroom in their
new neighborhood.. Through the abundant grace of God,
that fellowship became the now Achimota branch of
the church.. Pastor Awuah’s life long dream
to travel abroad became a reality in 1998 when he
joined his friends in the United States.
Not forgetting his religious roots, Pastor did not
hesitate to join the Bronx branch which then worshiped
at the premises of the Pan African Church of God in
Christ. Sooner than expected, Pastor Awuah became
the leader of the branch and was ordained a Pastor
with about ten members.
Pastor Kwame, as he is popularly called, is known
not only for his insightful teachings on practical
and responsible Christian ethics, but also as a teacher,
mentor, family and marriage therapist. God through
his mercies, used Pastor as a vessel to multiply souls
in the church and within a few years, the church was
able to acquire its own property in the Bronx. By
mid 2006 the Bronx church membership increased to
over 200 to the glory of the Lord. His overwhelming
passion is to see the children of God equipped to
be effective citizens and to help them develop their
God given talents. This missionary vision, moved Pastor
to obtain permission from the leadership of the Bronx
church in May 2007 to start the Manhattan branch in
the living room of his apartment.
Preaching is powerful, teaching is good, but none
of these things move heaven and change the course
of events in the natural.. It is prayer that changes
things. Teaching and preaching does not heal the land,
but it is when God's people humble themselves and
pray that heaven hears and heals the land; communities,
cities, nations and families”, based on this
philosophy, Pastor Kwame has introduced a midnight
telephone conferencing prayer tower, the first of
its kind in this church which involves participants
from all over north America.
Pastor and his wife of blessed memory are blessed
with two boys, Christian and Robert Awuah.
