Archbishop Charles Agyinasare reflects on his transformation from a rebellious youth to a spiritual leader
via GhanaWeb2 hours ago5 min read
Archbishop Charles Agyinasare, founder and leader of Perez Chapel International, has shared details of his challenging past, which included rebellion, theft, and a period of religious corruption that nearly devastated his family. Raised in a strict Christian home, he became a Buddhist by age 14, a spiritual shift that lasted four years and coincided with behavioral issues. His family, consisting of 11 children, considered him an outcast due to his stubbornness, which included selling his father's shoes and pants. He joked that he "probably would have sold his father myself" due to his rebellious nature, though he clarified he never engaged in armed robbery. The Archbishop's life took a radical turn at age 18 with a conversion experience that transformed him from a "womaniser and abuser of alcohol" into an evangelist. He met his wife in 1984 during a crusade, and despite having no financial assets, proposed after three months of prayer. They married in 1985 when he was 23, with his wife contributing to her dowry. These experiences, he stated, have shaped him into a better person, leading him to advise young men to confront life's challenges directly.
