The Mark Ofosu Ampadu Jnr (MO-AJ) Foundation has commissioned a bus stop in commemoration of the fifth anniversary of the passing of the late Mark Ofosu Ampadu Jnr.
Mark, a vibrant young man with dreams and aspirations, tragically lost his life in a road accident at just 29 years old. He was a beloved member of the Pentecost International Worship Centre (PIWC), Sakumono. His untimely passing underscores the urgent need for safer roads.
The commissioning ceremony, held on Sunday, May 18, 2025, at the frontage of the Regional Maritime University, Nungua, was attended by several dignitaries. Present were Apostle Seth Fianko-Larbi, Resident Minister of PIWC Sakumono, and his wife, Dr Mrs Theresa Fianko-Larbi; Prophet James Osei Amanianpong (retired); Elder Mark Ofosu Ampadu Snr and Deaconess Mrs Cecilia Ofosu Ampadu, parents of the late Mark; family members, members of the church, and representatives from LaBianca Group of Companies, where he once worked. Representatives from the Regional Maritime University were also in attendance.
Delivering a brief exhortation, Apostle Seth Fianko-Larbi explored the delicate balance between God’s sovereignty and human responsibility. He outlined 15 key realities that shape this dynamic, emphasising that God’s plan for every individual is one of salvation and success in fulfilling their role in His redemptive purpose.
He encouraged believers to cultivate an attitude of thanksgiving in all circumstances, free of competition, comparison, or complaint. He further noted that some individuals, though seemingly wicked in their actions, inadvertently contribute to God’s redemptive narrative, often fulfilling prophetic destinies.
The formal dedication of the bus stop was led by Prophet James Osei Amanianpong (retired), former Area Head for Teshie-Nungua. He praised the character and legacy of the late Mark Ofosu Ampadu Jnr, acknowledging the facility’s role in serving the community and offering much-needed comfort to its users.
Speaking at the event, Mrs Christine Opoku Onyinah, a lawyer and elder sister of the late Mark, underscored the Foundation’s mission to advocate for road safety, amplify the voices of victims and their families, push for systemic change, and foster safer communities. She maintained that the values Mark embodied—compassion, service, and an unwavering commitment to improving lives—continue to guide the Foundation’s work.
‘This newly built memorial bus stop stands as a symbol of that mission,’ she remarked. ‘It serves not only the church and university community but also stands as a visible reminder that we must do better.’
Representatives from the Maritime University were grateful to the Foundation for the Bus stop.
