86-year-old evangelist says God called him to become a learned preacher
An 86-year-old Ghanaian evangelist has publicly declared that he was called by God to become a learned preacher, a turning point he describes as the fulfillment of a lifelong spiritual journey. Despite his advanced age the evangelist said he remains committed to delivering sermons guiding believers and spreading faith rooted in compassion and humility.
In an emotional testimony he recounted how, many years earlier, he felt a strong spiritual urging to study scripture deepen his theological understanding and commit to full-time ministry. He described the calling as unmistakable and divine-led, one that took him through years of personal devotion reading and reflection before he committed to formal evangelism.
The evangelist told his congregation that his age is not a barrier but a blessing. He believes that life experience wisdom and maturity strengthen his message. He encouraged congregants not to judge by age but by sincerity of heart and devotion to God’s call.
At a recent church gathering he preached about faith resilience and the importance of serving others without seeking personal gain. Many attendees described the sermon as powerful and moving. Some said his sincerity and humility resonated deeply, sparking renewed spiritual commitment among listeners.
Religious commentators observing the story noted that his journey challenges stereotypes about old age and ministry. They see in him an example that faith and purpose are timeless and that divine calling can arrive at any stage of life. For many believers his decision underscores the enduring value of dedication sacrifice and spiritual service.
Community members who know the evangelist praised his humility discipline and consistent devotion. Some noted that despite his age he remains active visiting homes counselling believers and engaging in community outreach. They described him as a pillar of faith whose life inspires respect and admiration.
His testimony has sparked discussions across churches and religious networks about late-life spiritual renewal and service. Some youth ministries in urban areas have reached out to invite him for guest sermons hoping his life story might encourage younger believers to stay committed.
As the 86-year-old continues his ministry many hope his example will challenge age-related prejudices and reaffirm the belief that spiritual calling and service are not limited by time. His story stands as a testament to faith perseverance and the enduring power of spiritual conviction.
