Christianity is not about following a great teacher or philosopher. It is about acknowledging Jesus as Lord and Savior.

Mensa Otabil
Mensa Otabil (* 1959) ist ein ghanaischer Theologe, Pastor und Universitätskanzler, der 1984 die pfingstlich-charismatische International Central Gospel Church in Accra gründete. Seine Predigten und Vorträge verknüpfen biblische Themen mit Fragen von Führungsverantwortung, Bildung, wirtschaftlicher Eigeninitiative und persönlicher Entwicklung. Bibellesern begegnet er als pointierter Impulsgeber zu praktischer Glaubensgestaltung, dessen öffentliches Profil jedoch durch zivilrechtliche Klagen nach dem Zusammenbruch der ghanaischen Capital Bank und Kontroversen um Spendensammlungen belastet ist.
