A distinguished Ghanaian composer affiliated with the Apostolic Church-Ghana, Elder Samuel Kofi Ampiah, has passed away at the remarkable age of 99.
His demise occurred on Sunday, March 31, 2024, as officially announced by the church on Wednesday.
Elder S.K. Ampiah’s tenure spanned over 60 illustrious years as an Elder within the Apostolic Church-Ghana, where he not only served dutifully but also contributed significantly as a composer of numerous Pentecostal hymns cherished by the church and the wider Christian community.
Among his notable compositions are revered hymns such as “Sɛ w’ahu Yesu a ma ne nwuma pa no ntena wo mu”, “Mo mma yɛn mma Yesu mo”, “Awurade gyina m’akyi”, “Yesu ne wu na,” and several others that have enriched congregational worship experiences over the years.
In expressing their profound condolences, the leadership and congregation of the Apostolic Church-Ghana stand in solidarity with Elder Ampiah’s family during this period of loss.
“The leadership and the entire congregation of the Church extend their deepest sympathies to the family for their loss,” the Apostolic Church-Ghana posted.
