My faith in God unshaken - Bereaved SDA pastor

Pastor Ato Kessie, the head pastor of the Dansoman District of the Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) Church who recently lost five family members- his wife, all his children and his inlaw- to fire has revealed that he is starting life all over again after being robbed of the joy he laboured several years to build but importantly, his faith in God’s goodness is unshaken.

The Man of God a month ago lost his wife three children and his mother-in-law who were burnt to ashes after a fire gutted their storey building apartment at Dansoman a suburb of Accra

According to preliminary investigations, the cause of the fire is not known but neighbours say it was very difficult to rescue the victims as a result of the burglarproof windows and doors which left them to their fate as they watched helplessly.

The man who was not at home at the time of the incident became inconsolable on hearing the misfortune that had befallen him.

All five were buried on Sunday 26th August 2018 at the Gbawe public Cemetery after a requiem service was held at Methodist University College, Dansoman.
