An appeal to Prophet T.B Joshua

Dear Man of God,

I extend to you greetings from Ghana. I believe I am familiar to you and your organization. My loyalty to Jesus Christ through your selfless acts of benevolence and healing has remained unquestionable.

You once invited me to the SCOAN and I have never forgotten that experience. It was an experience I will forever cherish and carry to my grave. That invitation changed my life and made me a better Christian.

Dear Prophet, it is gratifying to inform you that you have a large following in Ghana. Ghanaians have come to cherish your gift as a Man of God and greatly crave your presence. Many Ghanaians I speak to express their strong faith in God and belief in you that you are a True Man of God.

Dear Prophet, this appeal is not for myself since I believe one invitation from you has already changed my life. This appeal is on behalf of a very friend of mine who craves your invitation. I will briefly tell you his story and I know you will be touched to extend an invitation for him to visit the SCOAN so that he can benefit from the miraculous gift Christ has given you.

His name is Baffour Awuah Tabury and his sad story can be found in the Daily Graphic of 23rd March 2015. He was a final year student of the University of Cape Coast. He got knocked down by the very car he alighted from.

This shattered his spinal cord which has paralyzed him up till now. He is practically a vegetable who cannot do anything for himself. He has been in two major surgeries which has not improved his condition.

He is currently bedridden with several bedsores visible on his skin. Sadly, visits to several powerful Doctors both native and orthodoxy has not yielded any benefit. He is currently at his wits end. Sadly, the pain he is in has caused him to attempt suicide twice but God has saved him in both situations. He has lost all hope in orthodox medicine and time is running out for him.

It was in this hopeless state he finds himself that he read my article online and thought there was some sort of relationship between us. I made him understand I am one of your numerous admirers who believe you are a true man of God.

I neither work for the SCOAN nor have any direct contact with you. He expressed a strong faith in the healing powers of Jesus Christ through your ministry and strongly desires to meet you at the SCOAN.

He has strong belief and faith that meeting you and you laying hands on him will heal him. His faith is grounded in 2 Kings Chapter 5 which talks of the story of Naaman. Naaman believed that if the Prophet of God Elisha should lay his hands on him, he will be cured of his leprosy.

True to his faith, when Isaiah instructed him to bath in the Jordan river and he obeyed, his faith healed him. It is on this premise that Mr. Baffour Awuah Tabury believes that if you lay your hands on him, his faith through Jesus Christ will heal him.

He has explored all the channels to enable him come to the SCOAN but his efforts has been in vain. He even reached out to your Church in Accra to extend a helping hand to him but they could not be of much help. His hope in meeting you is fast fading, It is on this note that I decided to make a personal appeal to you through the internet and hope this message will get to you on time.

Dear Prophet, he truly has faith in the saving ability of Jesus Christ. He truly believes that coming to SCOAN and meeting you will heal him. His faith in Christ can be compared to the Army Officer at Luke 7:1-10. The Army officer’s faith in Jesus Christ to heal his servant was amply rewarded when Jesus Christ praised his faith and healed his servant.

I in all humility and on behalf of Mr. Baffour Awuah Tabury appeals to you to invite him to the SCOAN. His last hope is through this medium. The whole world is aware of your compassionate nature and I strongly believe when you read this touching story the spirit of God will move you to invite him to the SCOAN and through Christ heal him.

Thank you very much for the opportunity to write you this open letter. I sincerely hope it will reach you in good time.

May the peace of the Lord be with you.

Yours Sincerely, Henry Nii Kpakpo Allotey
