On Thursday, 23rd January 2025, the Alpha Humanitarian Project team, led by the Chief Alpharian, Pastor Agyemang Elvis, and his lovely wife, Lady Mercy Agyemang-Elvis, visited the Mother Love Orphanage in Kwabenya to extend their heartfelt support to the children and caregivers of the home.
The team came bearing gifts of essential food items, toiletries, and an undisclosed amount of money to aid the orphanage in its daily operations.
This noble act of kindness, which has become a hallmark of the Chief Alpharian and his wife, was warmly acknowledged by the founder of the orphanage, Rev. John Azumah. With evident joy and gratitude, Rev. Azumah highlighted that such generous donations have been a consistent effort by the couple, occurring at least three times annually. In his remarks, Rev. Azumah expressed profound appreciation for Pastor Agyemang Elvis and Lady Mercy Agyemang’s unwavering commitment to supporting the orphanage. He particularly commended their immense contribution to the education of the children, noting their steadfast dedication to ensuring the timely payment of school fees every term.
“This isn’t just a one-off gesture; it’s a reflection of their rare hearts and genuine concern for the vulnerable and less privileged in our society,” Rev. Azumah remarked. He added that the couple’s efforts have greatly impacted the lives of the children, providing them with opportunities to dream and build brighter futures.
The visit concluded with prayers of blessings for Pastor Agyemang Elvis, Lady Mercy Agyemang, and the entire Alpha Humanitarian Project team, for their selflessness and compassion in touching lives and making a difference where it matters most.

Prophet Ogyaba is currently under fire for sexual misconduct allegations against a young lady who took it to social media to lambast the man of God.
Media pundits such as Agradaa, Diana Asamoah, Dr Lutterodt and Twene Jonas shared their wild opinions.
Agradaa sounded gravely disappointed as she expressed her displeasure concerning Ogyaba’s act and continued to say that almost all so called men of God in Ghana will be exposed very soon for sleeping with young girls in their churches in the name of “I’m a man of God”.
Diana Asamoah who’s also known for her vocal presence also expressed her disappointment and anger upon hearing the act of Ogyaba. She continued to say she hopes he will be stripped of his title and exposed so he will be as a scapegoat for other fake prophets emerging.
Twene Jonas as usual rained down heavy insults on Ogyaba and confirmed Ogyaba is not even close to been a man of God, he’s a failed Kumawood actor who’s career is dead and ventured into ministry. He also added Agradaa as a failed actor and a fetish priest who now operates as a woman of God.
Dr Lutterodt on the other hand gave quite a very matured sentiment concerning the matter. He said, “I cases like this Ogyaba should know and understand he has an empire who is supposed to stand for him, in cases like this you talk less or just remain silent so your people stand for you. Either it’s true or not don’t speak.”.

Discovery of talent is not enough ! A conscious effort to support them grow and impact society is the ultimate!
Mona Faiz Montrage, popularly known as Hajia4Reall, has been granted permission by a U.S. court to have her passport returned, facilitating her deportation to Ghana after serving a one-year-and-one-day sentence.
The sentence stems from her involvement in a $2 million romance scam. Her legal team requested the passport to ensure her smooth deportation process post-release, which the court approved.
Once she completes her sentence, U.S. Marshals will escort her directly to the airport for her flight to Ghana, with no stops in between.
