Rev. Dr. Delali Bodza Biography
Pastor Dela was born on 21st May 1963 in Accra to Mr. Charles Bodza and Madam Comfort Buami, who hail from Akpafu in the Oti region of Ghana. He attended Akpafu – Todzi E.P. Primary and L.A Middle School from 1971 to 1979.
In 1979, Pastor Dela gained admission into Kadjebi – Asato Secondary School ( KASEC ) in the Volta Region to begin his secondary education.
Coming from a difficult background, the call of God into full time ministry just after his secondary school was not without a heavy price of pressure, persecution and rejection from close friends, associate families and even some mentors who thought he was too young at the time to enter into time ministry and wishes he had pursured his dream of becoming a Medical Doctor or a pilot.
The intensity of persecution led him to live an isolated life from August 1985 to 1990 when he moved residence to the uncompleted Chapel of North Kaneshie A/G for three to five years. Pastor Dela found solace in sleeping at the church in the company of friends with as Rev Andrew Kofi Ephraim (now Head Pastor of Dunamis Center A/G Taifa), Rev David Donkor ( Abundant Life A/G ), and occasionally Rev. Dr. Joseph Baisie also joined them, the late Pastor Hosiana Fiadzigbe, and many more joined wilders as they call themselves.
During these years, Dela, who had no meaningful support (living a life of pure faith), had to rely solely on God to provide food, clothing, school fees, and survival. God who never failed started using unknown people, friends, and strange means to provide his livelihood until he completed his 3 years of bible college. Moreover, the Lord used this occasion at North Kaneshie A/G to begin to develop and sharpen his ministry through the morning devotion that he jointly organized with the above brethren.
