It was a shocker to many on the Ultimate Gospel Chat when the guest on the show Head pastor of the Life Community Church Bishop Hanson Amoateng revealed that former Ashanti Region secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Joseph Yamin is an avowed evangelist.
Joseph Yamin has been one of the strong party communicators for the NDC also serving in government as deputy national coordinator of the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO), Deputy Sports Minister and Deputy Ashanti regional minister.
His strong stance in politics and his controversial posturing on radio and television political shows, least makes him one to describe as religious.
However this is how Bishop Hanson Amoateng described Joseph Yamin speaking to host Winfred Nii Adjaye on the show.
“Joseph Yamin was one of the pioneers of the Pentecostal Students Association movement in Prempeh College. Joseph was a very serious and a professing evangelist. This was in 1993, 1994 and 1995 and he has been in ministry all this while. Even in secondary school, it got to a point, form three, he nearly left campus to go do ministry,’ he recalled.
Joseph Yamin later confirmed this when he was raised on the phone line to share some preaching with the whole of Kumasi.
He indicated that he had found a fine way of separating his church life from his political career because of the dirty nature of Ghanaian politics.
“I am still a practicing evangelist and now I have graduated into the realms of a reverend after attending the Bible school of Bishop Hanson.
“I am noted for being a loud mouth politician but I try to distance the church from politics because in our political circles, some perceive it to be a dirty game and I want to distance the cleanness of God from politics.
“When I am in church and I am doing the work of God, I do it devoid of politics and I have been practicing this since 1993 when I was in Prempeh College,” Yamin admitted.
Joseph Yamin is currently lacing his boots to contest for the Ashanti Regional Chairmanship of the NDC.
