Former Pastor of International Central Gospel Church (ICGC), Doxa Temple and gospel musician, Josh Laryea has said he is so glad he left ICGC and has no regrets.

Josh Laryea who is now the founder of Karis International Church (KIC) told the host of Starr Chat on Starr FM, Bola Ray that he is grateful to God to have made such a bold decision at the time he was suspended over an alleged ‘immoral conduct’.

“I am so glad that I was bold to make the decision of quitting ICGC. I thank God for the grace to make that decision and I have not regretted and I will never regret” he said.

ICGC in a letter dated March 29, 2017, indicated that “The Presbytery has authorised the Disciplinary Committee to look into the allegations levelled against Rev. Laryea”.

According to the council of the church, the decision was taken after it received various reports against the pastor.

The letter further stated that “Rev. Josh Laryea is being withdrawn from the pulpit and thereby the Doxa Temple with immediate effect. This is to allow the Committee carry out its work uninterrupted.”

The Church Council noted that another minister will be assigned to manage the assembly (Doxa Temple) and urged the pastor to fully co-operate with the leadership of the church in the investigations.

But responding to a text message on the show indicating that he (Josh Laryea) was not patient and had to resign, the Reverend Minister said, “If the media is being given room to judge, then they should judge.”

Rev. Laryea further accused the authorities of the church of ‘fueling’ his recent dilemma by allowing the media to judge him when a letter of his suspension was leaked to the media.

“If the thing can get to the media, if the media can be judges, then we don’t need to even sit down and judge because there is nothing to judge” he stressed.

Rev. Josh Laryea has over the years thrilled Ghanaians with hit songs such as ‘Emere’, ‘Bisa’, ‘Aseda Nka Onyame’, and ‘Jesus is the Answer’.
