Bishop Oko Bortei-Doku, a well-respected religious leader and missionary from Lighthouse Chapel in Accra, Ghana, passed away. His impact, however, goes well beyond the confines of his church, reaching into the hearts of countless individuals in the local community and beyond. The legacy he leaves behind is one of profound influence and inspiration.
Bishop Oko Bortei-Doku, a native of Accra, Ghana, led a life deeply intertwined with his faith. Born and raised in Ghana, he pursued his education at Achimota School and furthered his studies at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST). He dedicated his life to the service of God and the community.
Married to LP Ama, Bishop Oko was a family man with three children: Samuel, Marie, and Angel. Beyond his familial roles, he was a guiding figure for many, especially the youth. His ministry, rooted in acceptance and wise counsel, provided a haven for those seeking guidance. Notably, he played a pivotal role in inspiring young Christians through electrifying events like Shomcom, leaving an indelible impact on numerous lives.
Bishop Oko’s belief in the transformative power of arts, literature, and entertainment in ministry set him apart. A member of Bishop Dag’s minstrels, the Bee Dees, he, alongside Bishop Johnny, ES Henrietta-Ariel, and LP Ellen, brought refreshing anointing and joy to church conventions and Miracle Wave meetings.
In 2014, Bishop Oko was consecrated as a bishop, marking a significant milestone in his spiritual journey. For three years, he served in the adult congregation of the Qodesh, exemplifying the dynamic nature of a bishop’s ministry. In 2018, he joined a mission to Côte d’Ivoire, where he built a church in Youpogon, learning to speak French fluently and changing lives. His dedication continued with the ongoing construction of a church in Zimbabwe.
The Christian community is deeply saddened by the untimely passing of Bishop Oko Bortei-Doku. His departure is a significant loss that has left a heavy burden on the hearts of those who loved him. Currently, the exact reason for his passing has not been revealed by his family, and they understandably need time to come to terms with this profound loss.
