In spite of his strong affiliation with Methodism, Yaw Osafo-Maafo, the Senior Presidential Advisor, has stated that he manages his household in a way that resembles the operation of a Presbyterian Mission House.

Elaborating on this, the senior statesman clarified that while he identifies as a Methodist, his upbringing and education were largely influenced by the Presbyterian tradition.

He further mentioned that his spouse, despite not being a Presbyterian, received substantial teachings from the Presbyterian denomination. This has led to a scenario where their household can be considered, in essence, as having a Presbyterian influence.

“I was baptized a Methodist, confirmed a Methodist, but trained by the Presbyterians. So, I always say that if I am what I am today, I owe it to the Presbyterians. It’s a fact. And to add insult to injury, my wife was not only trained by the Presbyterians, but she went to the famous Agogo Women Training College.

“So, my house is run like a Presbyterian Mission House,” he explained.

Yaw Osafo-Maafo said this when he delivered a keynote address at the 23rd General Meeting of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana at Kwahu Abetifi in the Eastern Region on Saturday, August 19, 2023.
