Early life

[edit]

He was born into the Ga-Dangme royal lineage to Sampson Kwadjo Tetteh of Dodowa and Juliana Norchoe Tetteh of Osu in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana. He trained as an economist at the Budapest Corvinus University of Economics Sciences in Hungary and also at the London School of Economics (LSE) in the United Kingdom. Whilst he was still pursuing his PhD programme in International Relations at the University in Hungary, he responded to the call as an Evangelist and a preacher of the Gospel. He was ordained into ministry by Dr T.L. Osborn and Archbishop Benson Idahosa in the UK.

As a researcher in economics and international relations, he had the real opportunity to work with many international organisations but the Lord had completely different plans for him. His unique style of preaching with singing, dancing and soul touching stories during his messages earned him a lot of admiration across many denominations.
