With Sofo at his home in Akome, VR, Ghana

Sofo L.K. Kwasikpui, Servant of the Lord Jesus Christ.

One of my fathers in the Lord. Soft-spoken, yet firm.

District Pastor of the Dansoman District of the EPCG in 2011 when 'Boorsu' handed over to me as EPSU President. The one who signed our marriage certificate and the 'main' Officiating Reverend Minister at our wedding. The one who, being the teacher he was, lovingly corrected the way I pronounced the word 'vineyard' (do you know the correct pronunciation? :) Call me if you don't. :))

26th December 2009 - before we left for EPSU National Camp

Sofo Kwasikpui loved young people and made us feel welcome in Church matters. He would encourage us to be Bible-readers, liturgists, ushers, lay-preachers, finance-team-helpers, etc. He would come by the Church premises to see us off on those early mornings of December when EPSU was leaving for camp meetings. He sometimes be around to welcome us back when we returned on December 30th. 


The one who called me 'Mawuyo, my daughter'. I was privileged to get the opportunity to visit Sofo at Akome in November 2021 while he was on retirement and I thank God for the great in-person fellowship we had with Mama and D'Emefa. I didn't know then that it would be our last time, but the memory will stay with me for a long time.



In the tenure of Sofo Matti and Sofo Kwasikpui, there were many weddings at the EPCG, Dansoman. These two Pastors had a very cordial working relationship which grew to brotherhood. I observed and learnt a lot about team-work just from watching them discharge their duties together and my special condolences go out to Sofo Matti; he's lost a good friend and brother. 


During our wedding ceremony, Sofo Kwasikpui called his wife upstage, introduced her and proudly testified that they had been married for 40 years (ie in 2012) and that God had been their help on their journey. We thank God for great examples, and my warmest condolences are with Mrs. Kwasikpui. She is very bereaved, but we trust our Great Heavenly Father, Who is a defender of widows, to take good care of her. "For your Maker is your husband, the Lord of hosts is his name" - Isaiah 54:5a 
Let's remember her in our prayers. 

'Attention to detail' is one hallmark of Sofo Kwasikpui that I will remember in many happy ways. See in the picture above how he carefully watched us sign the correct portions of the marriage register :) Sofo would always be holding a book, hymnbook and a Bible for every service; it didn't matter if it was a 'small service' with few people. He firmly believed that where two or three are gathered in God's Name, God is there - and Sofo treated every meeting with reverence to the Presence of God.




I could go on and on....I am thankful for Sofo Kwasikpui and will miss his messages and phone calls. I'll keep some of his messages, especially those that started with 'Good morning my daughter' :)

Good night, Sofo Lawrence Kwame Kwasikpui. God be with you till we meet again! 


In Christ,
Your daughter,
Mawunyo.
