By the Grace of God Loyalty House International had an awesome time at the just ended “ THOROUGHLY FURNISHED UNTO GOOD WORKS CONFERENCE “ at The Truth Cathedral, Dawhenya,
They were blessed to have Bishop Kweku Amponsah come all the way from Barcelona for two powerful sessions .
For the first session, he preached about Characteristics of a Humble Person (From Bishop Dag Heward-Mills’ book, Formula For Humility) and for the second session, he preached about The Five Rules of Loyalty (From Bishop Dag’s book, Those who are Ignorant). The Word brought so much light and understanding to everyone on the subject of Loyalty. Everyone present was greatly blessed and understood clearly the reason why Loyalty has always been the Key to keeping the Unity, Love and Growth in the UD.
The day was also filled with Worship, Praise, and the Sweet Presence of God. It was a beautiful atmosphere to be a part of, in the ultra-modern, state of the art building – The Truth Cathedral, Headquarters of Loyalty House International Denomination, enjoying the Presence of the Lord and His Word. Lives were definitely been impacted upon.
We are grateful to our Chairman Bishop Ishmael Sam for hosting Bishop Amponsah.

On Sunday the 13th of June 2021, the Encounter Service at the Qodesh was climaxed by a graduation of a whopping 144 New Believers from the Victorious Believers’ School under the auspices of the Understanding Campaign, to the Glory of God.!!!
It was exciting to see young, energetic graduands with bright eyes for the future and a few older ones, from varied social and educational backgrounds, all determined to forge ahead in the Christian Race. Their weeks of hard work with diligence and consistency finally yielded the desired results – Graduation!!
Bishop Nii Adjeidu Armar, Bishop of the Qodesh, reminded the graduands of the fact that they were the next generation of pastors, prophets, teachers, evangelists and apostles of the Qodesh. Bishop Pius prophetically prayed for them for eyes to see, ears to hear and a heart to perceive.
Sharply dressed young people, some of whom had hitherto never been clad in such smart and decent apparel were each presented with a Certificate and a Bible.
It is our hope that the zeal exuded from this powerful ceremony will be sustained as they continue to walk the straight and narrow path till the very end.
The Understanding Campaign team (headed by Lady Reverend Josephine Austin and about 40 teachers) currently runs 2 main schools:
- New Believers (Fruitful Believers) School for all persons who have recently received Jesus Christ as their Lord and personal Saviour. The School is run for 8 weeks. The new believers are taught from Bishop Dag’s book ‘Key Facts for New Believers’. Topics studied include – What it means to be born again, Water Baptism, Holy Spirit Baptism, Spiritual Growth by Fellowshipping, Praying, What you must know about the Bible, among others. The New Believers are prayed for to receive the Holy Ghost Baptism with the evidence of speaking in tongues.
- The Maturity School is open to everyone who graduates from the New Believers School or anybody who wants to grow to become a Strong Christian at the Qodesh. The classes for Maturity School ran for a duration of 10 weeks and students are taught from Bishop Dag’s book ‘How You Can Become a Strong Christian’.
After graduating from Maturity School, students are encouraged and supported to join Basontas and be a part of the Lord’s work in their various Centers.
The Qodesh Family Church (QFC) Ghana, gave her guests a feel of heaven on Saturday, 5th June 2021 at a lavish breakfast meeting. The meeting dubbed God’s Banquet, saw Business and Chief Executives of major Corporations, members of Corporate Accra gathered in their numbers at the Qodesh for an elaborate breakfast and a refreshing prayer session.
Decked in purple and white (the Denomination’s colours) with a touch of yellow and a garden ambience, the Jesus Cathedral was transformed into an indescribably beautiful banquet hall.
Guests were welcomed to a networking corner in the Hall, dedicated for socialization. They were seen excitedly exchanging cards as they nibbled on nuts and sipped on assorted fresh juices and teas.
Bishop William Aggrey Mensah welcomed guests and prayed to begin.
Episcopal Sister Adelaide Heward-Mills elegantly walked upstage to convey the purpose of the event. She brought hope and comfort as she assured the guests of the need to gather to pray to a God who is superior to Covid-19 and its many variants.
Whiles enjoying a sumptuous breakfast, the guests were ministered to by lovely songs, with lyrics written by Bishop Dag Heward-Mills but sung to familiar pop tunes, and beautifully performed by the Singing Stars of the QFC.
Bishop Nii Adjeidu Armar, Chairman of QFC Ghana and the Resident Bishop of the Qodesh led a 30 minute time of prayer. Guests were led to earnestly implore God for good health, for wisdom to thrive in business, for the leadership of Ghana and for sufficient Grace for these abnormal times in which we live. The relevance of the topics drew spontaneous participation from all and sundry.
Reverend Benjamin Johnson, an assistant to the Resident Bishop of the Qodesh gave an interesting and life changing testimony which saw the audience listen with rapt attention.
Bishop Nii Adjeidu preached a short yet powerful message which compelled many to give their lives to Christ. Each New Convert was blessed with a book authored by Bishop Dag Heward-Mills – How to become a Strong Christian.
Every guest went away with a copy of Bishop Dag’s book – What It Means To Be As Wise As A Serpent.
The maiden Prayer Banquet was a wonderful Saturday morning spent in the presence of God. Hopefully it’s the first of many to come.

The beautiful Qodesh auditorium was filled to capacity for the historic QFC Ghana Ministerial Ordination on Sunday, 30th May 2021. The Bishop of the Qodesh and Chairman of the Qodesh Family Church Ghana, Bishop Nii Adjeidu Armar and his council of Bishops processed into the Jesus Cathedral with a group of 7 men and 7 women who were being ordained to the high office of Reverend Ministers. Church members, well wishers and family members attended in their numbers to support the Ordinands.
Bishop Nii Adjeidu Armar, opened the service with the declaration of purpose where he admonished the ministers to be ordained that “their real Ordination comes from above because Jesus said;” Ye have not chosen me but I have chosen you and ordained you that you should go forth and bring forth fruits and that your fruits should remain, that whatsoever you may ask the Father in my name, He may give it to you “. He further espoused that the ministers are being welcomed into a privileged estate.
The ceremony was filled with many special moments. The congregation cheered in a rapturous applause as Bishop Eddie Addy gave his wife a special hug, Bishop Edwin Ogoe gave his wife a lovely kiss, Episcopal Sister Adelaide Heward-Mills gave a congratulatory hug to her assistant – Lady Rev. Bridgette-Marian Ogoe.
In a sermon delivered by Archbishop Kwasi Ampofo, the Ordinands were reminded that the decision to usher them into the high office was a sign that our Father, Bishop Dag Heward-Mills was graciously stretching out his right hand of fellowship to them. He further propounded the fact that the Ministers had entered into another rank which was a show of confidence in them. He exhorted them not to disregard the right hand of fellowship that Bishop Dag had extended to them.
The Qodesh auditorium was charged with much excitement and resounding cheers and applause as Lady Reverend Amelia Aidoo read the profiles of the various nominees. The candidates were then anointed with oil and prayed for by Bishop Nii Adjeidu Armar as well as Bishop Eddie Addy. The Ordained Reverend Ministers proceeded to read the Minister’s pledge which was based on 1 Corinthians 9:16; “For though I preach the Gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the Gospel!”. They vowed to align themselves to the vision, principles and spirit of the Ministry wherever God would place them, and pledged to fight the good fight, be loyal and faithful in their conduct, speech and attitude at all times.
The appointed Reverend Ministers are in the persons of Lady Rev. Dr. Adina Anita Naa-Abia Addy, Lady Rev. Bridgette-Marian Ogoe, Lady Rev. Eugenia Mercy Jackson-Davies, Lady Rev. Janice Akweley Addison, Lady Rev. Josephine Austin, Lady Rev. Phebemary Makafui Adodo-Samani, Lady Rev. Sharon Agyakwa, Rev. Eyram Festus Kwashie Ashigbie, Rev. Emmanuel Sampah, Rev. Claude Peregrino-Solomon, Rev. Godfried Kofi Osei-Boakye and Rev. Bertinus Baalu, Rev. Eric Kojo Boi Annan Dsane and Rev. Innocent Kwame Galley.
The major highlight of this august occasion was the fact that there were 7 men and 7 women equally represented to be ordained, a sign of the presence and approval of God as well as a mark of divine perfection. In an interesting turn during the sermon Archbishop Kwasi Ampofo furnished the congregation with the fact that one of the ordinands, Rev. Emmanuel Sampah was born on 27. 07.1977 and got born again at the age of 17 and so the number 7 continued to ring strongly, which meant that Jesus himself had given his approval and that the ministers were a very special selection.
The event was beautifully graced by the QFC Ghana Mass choir of over 150 choristers which saw singers and minstrels come together from all branches of the Qodesh Family Churches, they sang with great joy and praised the Lord as the entire church celebrated the joyful day.
