“Agradaa’s Sentence Is Part of the Mission”: Angel Asiamah Preaches in Wife’s Absence

• The founder of Heavenway Champion International Ministry, Evangelist Patricia Asiamah, was handed a 15-year sentence with hard labour
• Agradaa's husband, Angel Asiamah, has taken the leading role in the church to ensure that the ministry does not collapse in his wife's absence
• He preached the sermon and encouraged his congregants to be steadfast and see Agradaa's conviction as an act of God

Angel Asiamah, the husband of convicted Evangelist Patricia Asiamah, took over the pulpit of the church founded by his wife after she was jailed.

Evangelist Patricia Asiamah, popularly called Agradaa, is the founder of Heavenway Champion International Ministry. She was sentenced on Thursday, July 3, 2025, by an Accra Circuit court. She was handed a 15-year sentence with hard labour.

On Sunday, July 6, 2025, which was the first worship day with her in jail, her husband, Angel Asiamah, led the service.

In his sermon, Angel Asiamah said the congregants should accept that the jailing of their matriarch is part of the Christian mission.

“Considering all the persecutions Christ and his disciples faced, if our matriarch has been jailed let us see it as part of the mission. The good thing is that she would not stay there forever.”

“If God sends you to preach his word in Nsawam, will you use a phone? You have to go there,” he added.

He used the story of Jonah in the Bible, who was swallowed by a big fish so he could go to the place God had directed him to.

Angel Asiamah added that the number of years she has been jailed does not matter since God can overturn it.

“It is in human eyes that she has been jailed for 15 years, but in God’s sight, that is not it. God says a thousand years is like a day for him. How much more 15 years? It will be a few seconds to God.”

The congregants cheered as Angel Asiamah preached.

Angel Asiamah vows to back wife

Angel Kwame Asiamah has pledged unflinching loyalty to his embattled wife in the wake of her 15-year jail sentence.

Speaking in an interview with GHOne TV's Serwaa Amihere, Agradaa's husband, who looked displeased, labelled the judgment by the Accra Circuit Court as harsh.

He indicated that his wife was only being persecuted, just as others in the Bible had suffered.

"I don't agree with those who say she deserves it. It is very, very harsh. Everybody is saying Agradaa, so they are using something to tag her, which is not true. Just like Jesus Christ, they tagged him with so many things."

Angel Asiamah further stated that he would continue to support Agradaa, no matter how long she spends in prison, adding that he would pay regular visits to her.

"I will be going to visit her every time. I'll frequent there with the children if she spends the next 15 years in jail. For the church, I will take over. My wife is the overseer, and I am the associate pastor. If she is not available, I will do the work."

Details of Agradaa's sentencing

Nana Agradaa was arrested on October 9, 2022, on accusations of an alleged money-doubling scam at her church.

The outspoken, firebrand evangelist was arrested after some congregation members complained of being defrauded.

She was then charged with charlatanic advertisement and six counts of defrauding by false pretence.

Agradaa allegedly invited the public to attend an all-night service at her church, promising that their money would be doubled.

“This guy di333 what mission? His mission or God’s mission? Because the Bible says evil doers will ultimately face consequences for their actions, whether through God's judgment or the natural outcomes of their choices and might experience worldly success for a short time.”
