Pastor and founder of Perez Chapel International, Bishop Charles Agyinasare
Renowned Ghanaian pastor and founder of Perez Chapel International, Bishop Charles Agyinasare, has shared the powerful story of how he gave his life to Christ during a visit to church under the influence of Marijuana.
Speaking in an interview on Joy Prime, Bishop Agyinasare revealed that in 1980, while working as a teacher and giving private lessons, he was invited to teach two sisters, both of whom he liked.
“When I was making my move, one of them said, ‘My boyfriend is Jesus, and I’d like to introduce you to my boyfriend.’
“ I thought it was a joke. I said, ‘okay, if that’s all it would take for you to be my girlfriend, then I’ll go with you to church.’” he shared.
He described walking into the church high on marijuana and dressed in what was known then as a “Bola shirt” with waist-tied trousers, intending to sit through the service and leave. But something unexpected happened.
“ I heard the preacher say, ‘If you want to give your life to Jesus, come forward,’ and I came under conviction. I don’t remember what he said because I was high, but I remember I had never had an altar call before.
“When I heard the altar call, I walked to the front, gave my life to Jesus, and the power that day, the power of drugs, alcohol, tobacco, broke from my life,” he shared.
That moment, according to the Bishop, marked a turning point.
Bishop Agyinasare has since become one of the most influential figures in Ghana’s Christian community, known for his evangelistic crusades and transformative messages.
