Introducing Patricia Owusu Sarfo, Children’s Ministry Director, Christ Church International
When you look up the word ‘blessed’ in the dictionary, you will find an image of Patricia Owusu Sarfo, Children’s Ministry Director at Christ Church International. As a humble Woman of God, she sows into both the women and children of the congregation. Born in Ghana, Patricia lived, studied, and worked in Norway before moving to the United States in 2017.
Patricia’s professional career has spanned from data management, administration, client management and customer service, to nursing. Her academic degrees include an Associate of Arts in Business from Technology Sec School in Ghana-West Africa, a Diploma in both Economics & Administration and Communications & Interaction from Oslo Voksenopplaring Sinsen in Norway. In the same year, from the same University, she also earned her LPN License. As a young girl, she dreamed of helping others and was drawn towards nursing. She worked for 10 years at a Nursing Home in Norway and currently provides in-home Health Care, when she is not working her full-time position at Abrasive Technology Inc, an Aerospace Company, located in Lewis Center, Ohio.
In Personal life......
As the wife of Pastor Samuel Owusu Sarfo, she is honored to serve as Wife, Mother, First-lady and Children’s Ministry Director at Christ Church International. “Pastor and I first met back home in Ghana when I was 18. Life took us in different directions and we each married and started our own families. I lost my husband when my two boys were very young, and I went through a sad and difficult time. During that time, I asked God for forgiveness and to show me His plans for my life.” While living in Norway, Patricia regularly attended a small group at her church and was hearing Praise about a Pastor who was doing God’s work in the United States. When she heard who it was, she was not surprised at all, to discover that the Samuel, she remembered, had been Pastoring for over 10 years. “He was always sharing and preaching the Word of God.”
They were reconnected through the Church, were reunited, and in 2017, they were married. Upon their marriage, she came to the United States, and they became one combined family, with six children, all boys. Patricia was excited and eager to become involved at the Church and initially she was a greeter and usher, so she could personally meet all the members of the congregation. “Since I have been blessed with serving in Leadership, I am happy to be behind the scenes and supporting Pastor Samuel and the other Leaders, as well as serving in the forefront and setting a positive example for our Women, as First-lady, and as Children’s Ministry Director.
About her Kindness....
Patricia’s radiant smile and warm personality are contagious. She shines and connects with the Women and Youth of the church. She provides both a compassionate ear and sound Biblical counsel, special gifts that God has given to her. Our church services and children’s ministry are so enjoyable, that many children encourage their parents to attend. They are empowered by being included in the ‘adult’ worship, praise, and prayer portions of the service, and of course, through their Sunday School classes.
Patricia Owusu Sarfo is a beacon of hope to everyone...
Patricia Owusu Sarfo is a beacon of hope and light to everyone, inspiring our congregation every time she sees them. Her faith never withers, and she is the first to share The Word of God and the power of having a personal and intimate relationship with Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. She will remind you that her blessings of marriage, family and the church are by the Grace of God. Patricia will leave you with peace, hope and encouragement as she says, “It is well with you!”
