ABOUT APOSTLE SAMUEL AMPONSAH FRIMPONG:
Apostle Samuel Amponsah-Frimpong was born into the Christ Apostle Church International on 9th April 1969 to Madam Esther Afia Frimpomaa and the late Nana Amponsah Gyan.
The boy Amponsah-Frimpong was dedicated the same year into the Church by the Apostle S.A Addo of blessed memory. In 1985, he was baptized by Rev. Rtd. J.K. Okrah in Dormaa-Ahenkro. He spent his childhood days in Dormaa-Ahenkro (his native town) and Sunyani where he had his pre-university education.
He started basic school at St. Anselm Anglican Primary School, Sunyani and completed the third term of his primary at Dormaa-Ahenkro. It was at Dormaa-Ahenkro where he completed Junior Secondary as well as Senior Secondary School education.

PROPHETIC WORD FULFILLED
Neither the charm of a successful career in law nor the Diplomatic Service was able to distract Apostle Amponsah-Frimpong from responding to the prophetic word upon his life.
While a baby, Apostle S. A. Addo prophesied of the call of God on his life and did caution the mother not to allow any prominent secular profession to disengage her son from becoming a minister of God.
To help fulfill God’s call, Apostle S. A. Addo advised that the boy should stay with people of God. Consequently, the boy Amponsah-Frimpong was made to stay with Prophetess Margaret Anane and, later on, Apostle Owusu Ffie (all of blessed memory).
As he was growing up, several men and women of God continued to confirm the above prophecy. Apostle Amponsah-Frimpong abandoned his profession as a lawyer for the prize of the high calling.
