Dr. Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo has once again demonstrated his deep commitment to faith, family and Community with the unveiling of an ultramodern pulpit he personally built in honour of his late mother, Mary Gyawubea Badu.
The ceremony, held at the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Akyem Adukrom, in the Eastern Region, was both emotional and symbolic, reflecting gratitude, remembrance and service.
The newly constructed pulpit stands more than a physical structure, it represents a son’s enduring love and respect for his mother’s values and spiritual influence.
Mary Gyawubea Badu was remembered as a woman of strong Christian faith whose life embodied humility, generosity and devotion to God and by dedicating the pulpit in her honour, Dr. Ofosu-Ampofo has ensured that her legacy will continue to inspire worshippers for generations.
The pulpit, described as ultramodern in design, combines aesthetic beauty with functional excellence, crafted with quality materials and contemporary finishing, it enhances the sanctuary’s interior and provides a dignified platform from which the Word of God will be preached.
Its design symbolizes strength and stability and virtues that many say defined the life of the late Mary Gyawubea Badu.
The unveiling ceremony drew family members, church leaders, friends, and well-wishers, drawing an atmosphere of gratitude and reverence as prayers were offered and tributes shared whilst church officials expressed appreciation for the gesture, noting that such acts of remembrance strengthen the bond between families and the church community.
Speakers at the event highlighted how the contribution reflects the Presbyterian tradition of service and stewardship, emphasizing that honoring one’s parents through meaningful works aligns with Christian teachings and Ghanaian cultural values.
Beyond the pulpit itself, Dr. Ofosu-Ampofo, together with family and friends, donated GH₵64,000 towards the church’s ongoing development projects.
It will also support infrastructural improvements and other initiatives aimed at strengthening the church’s mission.
Church leadership described the donation as timely and impactful, underscoring the importance of collective responsibility in sustaining religious institutions, which will go a long way to enhancing facilities and expanding the church’s outreach efforts within Akyem Adukrom and beyond.
The event serves as a reminder that philanthropy rooted in gratitude carries deep meaning through investing in the church that nurtured his spiritual foundation and honoring his mother’s memory through service, Dr. Ofosu-Ampofo has set an example of purposeful giving.
In Ghanaian society, memorial projects often symbolize continuity between generations.
This initiative not only preserves the memory of Mary Gyawubea Badu, but also strengthens the spiritual and social fabric of the community.
As congregants gather in the sanctuary and sermons are delivered from the newly unveiled pulpit, her legacy will continue to resonate a lasting testament to faith, devotion and the power of honoring one’s roots.
