Rev. Edwin Donkor
Rev. Edwin Donkor attended the Mfantsipim School in Ghana and proceeded to the University of Science and Technology to study Graphic Design, where he obtained a First Class (Honours) degree in 1977. From the University, he joined the Audio Visual Services Department of the Ministry of Information, Ghana, where his life went through a dramatic change when a younger colleague joined the staff. That colleague, is now Pastor Mensa Otabil, The General Overseer of the International Central Gospel Churches. Pastor Otabil's intercession and kind friendship led Rev. Donkor to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, in August 1980. Rev. Donkor suffered from a speech impediment from the age of four, and which left him unable to communicate eloquently. An addiction to alcohol and smoking for 13 years was broken when Jesus came into his life. Following the baptism of the Holy Spirit, God loosened his tongue, calling him to preach and teach His Word as a Pastor. This calling, he has been faithfully and diligently pressing on to fulfill, in obedience to God.
Rev. Donkor served as the Assistant Pastor to Dr. Otabil from the founding of the International Central Gospel Church on 26th February 1984, in the first assembly that has come to be known as Christ Temple. He moved to Takoradi in 1988 to exercise pastoral oversight of a new ICGC assembly. He led the church to grow to a considerable size in the 6 years that he was in charge and experienced the joy of settling God’s people in their own auditorium, a place of worship that is still significant in the city today. He returned to Accra and served under Dr. Otabil as Deputy Senior Pastor, and also the first General Secretary of the International Central Gospel Church, serving from 1995-2015. In July 2005, Rev. Donkor moved to London to pastor the second ICGC assembly established in the city and named King’s Temple assembly.
Rev. Donkor preaches with a passion to bring the unsaved to the love and salvation that is in Jesus Christ and teaches to equip God’s people to partake of their full inheritance in Christ, living the blessed abundant life, and driven by a burning desire to reach out to the unsaved with the Gospel. He also teaches with grace on marriage and family life. He is currently the Regional Overseer for United Kingdom, Europe, and America.
Rev. Donkor and his wife Beatrice have been married since May 1987 and are blessed with 3 adult children, Edwin Jr, Ziona, and Leonard.
