Kumasi Hosts Apostle Safo’s Thanksgiving Service Morrow

Kumasi will host a National Thanksgiving Service this Saturday in honour of the late Apostle Emeritus Professor Engineer Kwadwo Safo, bringing to a close a series of funeral activities held in memory of the renowned founder of the Kristo Asafo Mission.

The thanksgiving service, scheduled for 9:00 a.m. at the Prempeh Assembly Hall, is being organised by the Kristo Asafo Mission in collaboration with the Kantanka family to thank God for the life and legacy of the religious leader, inventor and industrialist.

According to the organisers, the service is intended to express gratitude for Apostle Safo’s contributions to the church, his family and national development, while celebrating a legacy they say continues to influence Ghana’s spiritual, technological, industrial and agricultural sectors.

Widely regarded as one of Ghana’s most prominent indigenous innovators, Apostle Safo founded the Kantanka Group and the Kristo Asafo Mission. He was also credited with pioneering Ghana’s indigenous automobile manufacturing industry through Kantanka Automobile and championing home-grown technology and industrialisation.

Beyond automobile manufacturing, he was associated with the development of engineering innovations, industrial machinery and manufacturing facilities, while promoting mechanised agriculture, technical education and skills development. Through his industrial ventures and philanthropic activities, he also created employment opportunities and supported vulnerable members of society.

Throughout his ministry and public life, Apostle Safo consistently advocated self-reliance and encouraged Africans to embrace indigenous innovation and technological advancement as a pathway to economic transformation.

Saturday’s thanksgiving service follows a series of funeral activities that drew large crowds from across the country.

The late Apostle was buried at Gomoa Mpota in the Central Region, home to the Kristo Asafo Technology Centre, where many of his engineering projects and technological innovations were developed over the years.

The burial ceremony attracted traditional leaders, clergy, government officials, members of the Kristo Asafo Mission and thousands of mourners who gathered to pay their final respects.

A national funeral service held earlier at the Black Star Square in Accra also witnessed a significant public turnout, reflecting the broad recognition of Apostle Safo’s influence in religion, technology, manufacturing and entrepreneurship.

Organisers expect Saturday’s thanksgiving service to attract traditional rulers, clergy, industrialists, academics and members of the Kristo Asafo Mission from across the country.

Among the Christian leaders expected to attend are Rev. Stephen Adom Kyei-Duah, Founder and General Overseer of the Believers Worship Centre (Philadelphia Movement); Rev. Eastwood Anaba, Founder and President of Eastwood Anaba Ministries and Senior Pastor of Fountain Gate Chapel; and Apostle Francis Amoako Attah, Founder and General Overseer of Parliament Chapel International.

The service is expected to feature worship, scriptural exhortation, musical ministrations, tributes and prayers of thanksgiving in honour of the late Apostle Kwadwo Safo, whose contributions to religion, indigenous technology and industrial development left a lasting imprint on Ghana’s national landscape.
