When asked about handling sexual scenes, Apostle Prah said actresses understood his position as a preacher and adjusted scenes to avoid obscenity. He acknowledged that maintaining his Christian life while acting was not easy but said he managed with determination and faith.

Surprisingly, Apostle Prah never dreamed of becoming a pastor or an actor. His initial goal was to become a lawyer. After completing senior high school, he pursued short Bible courses at Victory Bible College and Pan African College. This led to his ordination as a pastor and the establishment of a solid ministry foundation.

His acting career began when he met the director of Miracle Films Productions, who introduced him to the Kumawood industry. Over the years, he became known for his consistent portrayal of pastors in Ghanaian movies.

Apostle Prah has been in ministry for 23 years and is currently with the Jesus Power Evangelistic Ministry.
