Enock Boamah, the lead pastor of the Christ Embassy Airport City Youth Church, has responded to the criticism and outrage that arose after Yolo actor John Peasah, popularly known as “Drogba,” was healed during last Friday’s evening service.
Drogba testified on social media about his healing during the miraculous ceremony in a video that went viral.
Drogba revealed in the video that he was healed supernaturally during the church’s Accra crusade. He attested to the fact that he could now perform tasks for which he had been unable for the previous four years.
Online users’ responses to this testimony were divided; some praised his recovery, while others found it offensive.
Pastor Enoch Boamah addressed the criticisms during a Sunday service on September 1. He emphasized that Drogba had acknowledged feeling better on his own and made it clear that the church had not forced him to do so.

“The person said he feels better. We didn’t ask him; he said he feels better. Na me put that word for ein mouth? But his testimony is big than this; we will share it later. That testimony is one out of the hundreds of testimonies that happened to him that night. The testimony is bigger than this; I’ve told him to calm down. Devil can heal like this? And we no dey follow am? It doesn’t make any sense he stated.
“Holy Spirit bears me witness that when we closed from the miracle service that Friday night, I told the media team not to post that testimony,” Pastor Boamah said in response to claims that he was taking use of the circumstances for political leverage. Because I’m not searching for influence, I told them not to post it.
Pastor Boamah expressed gratitude to God for healing Drogba and said he is not bothered by the criticism because it is evidence of God’s improvement in his life.
“If you follow my teaching on the sight of God, you’d know that God doesn’t count the way men count. If persecuted in a large way, its proof that God has actually elevated you. Jesus said the world hates you because they hate me.
“Comparing this to the persecution in the Bible, this is nothing. People were eaten alive by lions. What is this?” he said.
