Ambassador Kabral Blay-Amihere, the board chairman of Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo), has described his conversion to Christianity. Blay-Amihere, a former president of the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA), stated during an interview with Archbishop Charles Agyinasare, the founder and head of Perez Chapel International, on the TWAC program that he had stopped attending church for about 30 years before coming across Agyinasare's church.
The seasoned journalist claimed that the major reason he quit attending church was because he was disqualified from running in a student election at the secondary school he attended, St Augustine's College, since he was not a Catholic.
I attended an interview to be chosen as a school prefect, and surprise, by some mishap, I accidentally wrote on my Form 5 that I was a non-denominational Christian. So I was told that it was impossible to be perfect in a Catholic school.
"As a result, I was eliminated. As a result, St. Augustine's was in disarray for three days since the students insisted there would be no elections. However, after talking to my supporters, the polls were held, he explained. He said that the administrators of the school had tried to make him feel better by offering him a job at the house he was living in, but he had turned them down.
“I was asked to become the house prefect of St Stephens House at (St Augustine’s College), where I was residing, and I said in terms of principle, once you agreed I wasn’t a Catholic and you make me a prefect, you are creating a conflict of interest for me.
“Because once you agree I am not a Catholic, I will not be obliged to ensure that the students go to church, so from then, I stopped going to church for almost 30 years, and then I discovered World Miracle as it was called Perez,” he recalled.
He said that during the 30 years, he was away from the church, he became a doubting Thomas and that he only visited Agyinasare’s church after he had heard he (the pastor) performed wonders to see the miracles for himself. He added that he saw signs in Perez Chapel that he was at the right place and has grown in the Christian faith in the church since then.
