Elder Samuel Kofi Ampiah

At age 98, Elder Samuel Kofi Ampiah, a renowned Ghanaian music composer of hundreds of popular songs has been honoured with the launch of his maiden book.

Titled “Retrospect: 21 Epistles of a Hero,” the book takes the reader on an inspiring journey of discovering over 60 years of the honoree’s expe­riences, gleaning lessons to enlighten the paths of younger generations.

Hosted on Saturday, January 7, 2023, by the Predecessors Awards Worldwide – a network of Relevant Achievers Impacting Nations (RAIN Foundations), the launch attracted delegates from The Apostolic Church- Ghana where Elder S.K. Ampiah had served for over 60 years.

The Global President of Rain Foundations, Mr. George Kingsley Acquah ESQ, President of the Prede­cessors Awards Worldwide, Mr. Den­nis Agyeman, and his Vice, Madam Ruby Okine, took turns to address the guests.

Speaking to the Founding President of Rain Foundations and bestselling author, Raphaelle Antwi, said the launch was “the beginning of many book launches to come”.

He explained that a significant part of the Prestigious Annual Prede­cessors Awards was to immortalise the legacies of the honourees by writing and publishing of books that told the stories.

The organisation, he added, would be pub­lishing and launching many more books for various predecessors this year – in Ghana and abroad.

The Prestigious Annual Predecessors Awards will be held this year in Ghana, France, UK, South Africa, and USA.
