Meeting with Ghana Wheelchair Basketball Federation 

As part of his philanthropic activities, Prophet Kelvin Bakah expressed his joy when he met some Ghana Wheelchair Basketball Federation representatives.

He requested from the Ghanaian envoy to make available to him the necessary equipment costs needed to start a chalk factory.

Prophet Kelvin has subsequently been awarded with a Doctorate in theology from the Elohim University of Theology, Florida USA.

"Not only is it my wish to set up chalk factory for my country and help the disabled, but to also bring a branch of my church to Ghana so my people will gain salvation from God,” Prophet Kelvin said.

"To me  you are a useful members of the society and it is my prayer that God will continue to bless you."

In his view, when Persons with disability are given the needed support in terms of skilled training, it goes a long way to rake off the burden on society and they equally contribute to economic growth.

Through interaction, he was with the opinion that government should rather pay monthly allowance to people living with disability instead of the current bureaucratic way of asking them to apply.

Prophet Kelvin leads over five thousand members in his church, Whitehouse Ministries International in Durban South Africa alone and still counting.

“As part of my schedule, I will be in Ghana to carry out some surveillance and visit some disability facilities to see how best we can collaborate to improve their life’s”.
