Apostle Ray Michael Akakpo is a Ghanaian pastor, sound engineer, author, and musician who serves as the Head Pastor of Cedar Impact Miracle Center at New Legon, Ghana.

With a ministry spanning several years, he is committed to leading people to Christ, strengthening the prayer lives of believers and supporting individuals and communities through spiritual guidance, outreach programmes and practical interventions.

Born on December 24 in Accra, Ghana, Apostle Akakpo developed interests in music, sound engineering and Christian ministry. His professional qualifications include a certificate in sound engineering and a degree in theology.

Professional Background and Experience

Before dedicating himself to pastoral leadership, Apostle Akakpo built a career in the music and audio production industry.

He worked as a recording and sound engineer at New Creation Studios and later served as a studio engineer at X-Dicta Studios.

He also shared his technical expertise as a lecturer in sound engineering for diploma students at Faithworks Music School and worked as a private piano instructor, offering home lessons.

One of the notable milestones in his professional career was his work as the sound engineer for the GINA West Show on DStv. He has also worked with several Ghanaian and international musicians, including King Ayisoba, Kofi Kinaata, Celestine Donkor and Mkhululu Bebe, among others.

His experience in sound engineering, music production and instruction has contributed to his versatility as a creative professional.

In addition to his technical expertise, he plays the piano, drums, guitar and other musical instruments, and is also a singer. He has further explored acting, having appeared in short films.

Ministry and Spiritual Leadership

Apostle Akakpo's ministry journey began during his secondary school years, when he served as president of the Scripture Union.

His commitment to evangelism later led him to preach on buses and at public parks for two years, taking the Christian message to people in everyday settings.

He subsequently established a non-denominational fellowship known as Ray Michael Outreach Ministry Ghana (RAMOM-GH), which operated for six years at a hotel.

This experience laid an important foundation for his continued work in Christian ministry and leadership.

For the past seven years, he has served as the Head Pastor of Cedar Impact Miracle Center at New Legon, where he leads the congregation and oversees the church's spiritual activities and programmes.

A central feature of his ministry is a healing programme conducted through social media, which attracts thousands of participants seeking healing and prayer support remotely. The programme has expanded the reach of his ministry beyond the physical church and enabled people in different locations to participate in its activities.

Another significant milestone in his pastoral journey was the construction of an ultramodern church auditorium within seven months. He has also held major conferences outside Ghana, including in Kenya, South Africa, Rwanda and Zambia, extending his ministry's reach across national borders.

Apostle Akakpo believes that the impact of ministry should be reflected in transformed lives. He credits his ministry with helping to revive the prayer lives of believers, leading many people to become Christians and supporting the reconciliation of couples and the restoration of broken homes.

Through the church's media training programme, young people have also had opportunities to acquire practical skills.

For him, one of his most meaningful accomplishments is leading people to Christ and helping them develop a deeper commitment to their faith.

Publications and Creative Works

Beyond his pastoral responsibilities, Apostle Akakpo is an author who has written on relationships, healing, miracles, and ministry. His listed books include:

Dear Future Wife

Mastering Your Healing Gift

Journey to the Ring

The Secret Realms of Miracles

The Catalyst for Ministry

These titles reflect his interest in Christian teaching, personal development, relationships and the spiritual dimensions of ministry.

Despite his professional and ministerial milestones, Apostle Akakpo says he has chosen not to accept awards organised to recognise men of God.

He explains that this decision is based on his personal conviction that such recognition could become a distraction from his calling.

Community Service and Social Impact

Apostle Akakpo's work extends beyond the pulpit to community support and humanitarian initiatives through Cedar Impact Miracle Center.

The church has provided free water to members of the surrounding community, distributed food items to people affected by flooding, and offered free meals to people from outside the congregation every Sunday for three months.

These initiatives reflect his belief that Christian service should address both spiritual and practical needs.

Through the church's outreach activities, he seeks to support vulnerable people and contribute to the well-being of the wider community.

His broader vision is to reach more people with the Christian message while encouraging spiritual growth, stronger families, and practical skills development among young people.

Personal Interests and Vision

Outside ministry and sound engineering, Apostle Akakpo enjoys music, singing, acting, and cooking.

His ability to play several musical instruments reflects a longstanding interest in music and the creative arts, while his background in sound engineering continues to complement his experience in music and church media.

Looking ahead, Apostle Akakpo hopes to lead many more people to Christ and deepen the positive impact of his ministry on individuals, families and communities.

His work brings together pastoral leadership, music, writing, evangelism and community outreach, guided by his conviction that his most important achievement is helping people encounter and remain committed to Christ.
