White-clad worshippers filled the Kristo Asafo auditorium on Wednesday as the Kristo Asafo Mission of Ghana held a solemn memorial to honor its late founder, Apostle Dr. Kwadwo Safo.
The atmosphere was one of grief mixed with gratitude. Members sang hymns, offered prayers, and shared testimonies about a man they described as both a spiritual father and a national innovator.
Dignitaries from government, the clergy, and traditional councils joined the congregation to pay their final respects. Speakers remembered Apostle Safo not only for building one of Ghana’s largest independent churches, but also for pushing a vision of self-reliance through industry.
“Apostle Safo taught us that faith and work must go together,” one elder said. “He didn’t just preach prosperity he built factories, schools, and opportunities for young people.”
That legacy is visible in the Kantanka Group, the auto and technology brand he established, and in the technical institutions the church runs across the country. Members credit him with mentoring thousands of youth in engineering, manufacturing, and entrepreneurship.
The late apostle was laid to rest after decades leading Kristo Asafo, a movement known for its distinctive white garments, discipline, and emphasis on practical Christianity.
Government officials who attended described his passing as a loss to Ghana’s faith community and to the country’s industrial drive. Religious leaders from other denominations also sent messages of condolence, noting his role in promoting peace and development.
As the service closed, the choir led a final chorus while congregants filed past to lay flowers. For many, the mourning was also a recommitment to continue the work he started.
“His body is gone, but the vision remains,” a church leader told the crowd.
