Founded in 1914 True Faith Evangelical Church stands as a testament to faith. It’s a story of revelations and resilience. This Accra church boasts a rich history. It’s interwoven with the life of Prophet Samuel Kwame Brako. He received divine instructions to establish a church. His followers would worship on Saturdays.
Brako faced initial opposition. Established churches and even his own family resisted. He persevered. He moved several times within Osiem before settling near the Bososo-Begoro Road. The church initially observed Sabbath loosely. It alternated between Sundays and Saturdays. This changed after the birth of his son. The Sabbath became a day of rest and worship.
The church’s early growth relied on foot travel. It spread throughout Ghana’s Akan communities. Samuel Brako and his evangelists walked vast distances. They spread the word of God. They preached holiness and charity. They performed miracles. They healed the sick.
In the 1940s a power struggle followed Brako’s death. The church split. Saviour Church and True Faith Church emerged. The schism was fueled by disagreements over leadership. It was also about scriptural interpretation. True Faith Church chose a different path. It prioritized the prophetic ministry. This is in line with its founder’s vision.
True Faith Evangelical Church continues to thrive. It has branches across Africa Europe and North America. The church’s dedication endures. It’s a testament to the enduring spirit of its founder. It’s a beacon of faith in Accra. Its story is one of perseverance and spiritual growth. It is a living legacy. A legacy built on faith and the power of the Holy Spirit.
