Greetings Family,
howz everyone today? Well, i hope. Today i received some news which really shocked me - the founder of the Akrofi-Christaller Institute in Ghana (where i'm planning on doing my Master's in a couple of years), Prof. Kwame Bediako, has been called home as of June 10th. Even though i didn't get to know him very well, we had developed a relationship; he really inspired me and re-stoked so much passion in me for the work of restoring truth and dignity to Africa and her peoples (continental and diasporic). He was also really keen on having Carmz and I study at his school........i've attached a pic of me with him and his wife that was taken last year when he was the keynote speaker at our Consultation on African Traditional Religion and Christianity.
To all who are affected by his passing and especially his family: may the Lord give you the grace to grieve your loss fully and then may He renew you so that you may soar with Him. I rejoice with you in how mightily he was used by God in this life and in how many people he touched eternally! I also rejoice with you that now he rests in the complete splendor of the soon coming King of Kings.
Much love.

Hey King T,
Now i am not sure whether to use Sir T or King T? Either ways i like the name. Well i finally got the opportunity to check out your blog.
it is unfortunate that Prof. Bediako had to leave us. But he goes to a better place.
The refugee situation in Durban is truely a testament to the fact that there is a huge vacuum between policy and events on the ground.
I also struggle with how to be part of a solution. Let me give it some thought and perhaps i can contribute creatively to this issue the next time i post a comment.
Stay blessed
