Ransford Ackah

Just received shocking news that Ransford Achah was killed in an auto accident. He was being driven to his hometown by another brother when a truck blew a tire and crashed into their car. The driving brother was killed instantly but Ransford apparently was okay. But after he had been taken to a hospital to check him out, he suddenly began to gasp for breath and expired.

This is a great shock to us. He was such a fine brother and faithful to the Lord. I met him in LA when Howard Higashi and Ken Unger and I picked him up at LAX in the summer of 1970. He was a young evangelist who was visiting the church in LA to see what the Lord was doing there. He stayed for about three years and then returned to Ghana. He was used greatly by the Lord to raise up many churches throughout central Africa. We will miss him greatly!
