Agona Nsaba (C/R), Aug. 23, GNA – Family members, friends, church congregants and well-wishers have paid glowing tributes to the late Mr George Owusu Asomaning, Catechist and caretaker of the Kokoado Preaching Point of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, for his dedicated service to God and humanity.
Mr Asomaning, a retired automobile engineer, humanitarian and devout Christian, passed away at the age of 81.
Born on September 8, 1945, at Agona Nsaba in the Central Region, he lived a life defined by hard work, faith, resilience and selfless service to God and mankind.
At a burial service held over the weekend at the Ebenezer Presbyterian Church at Agona Nsaba, Reverend Kenneth Osafo Amankwah, Headmaster of the Presbyterian Senior High School at Agona Nsaba, urged Christians to lead lives that pleased God.Preaching on the theme, “Eternity: Heaven or Hell,” Rev Amankwah reminded the congregation of the realities of heaven and hell and encouraged them to pursue righteousness and good works to attain eternal life.
He said death was inevitable and that funeral and burial services served as reminders that earthly life was temporary.
Rev Amankwah urged people to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour and dedicate themselves to serving humanity through Christ to secure a place in heaven after death.
The late catechist devoted a significant part of his life to Christian service and played a pivotal role in nurturing the spiritual lives of congregants and supporting the growth of the church.
Beyond his religious service, Mr Asomaning built a distinguished career with Ashanti Goldfields Company, now AngloGold Ashanti, where he served for many years as Transport Manager.
Family members described him as a loving father, mentor and role model whose humility, commitment and generosity positively impacted many lives.
Mr George Owusu Asomaning is survived by nine adult children and 10 grandchildren.
