To the glory of God, this piece of information is dedicated to our one and only, REV. DR. EMMANUEL KWEKU BADU ESSILFIE, PRESIDING ELDER OF THE FLAMBOYANT SWEDRU DISTRICT OF THE AFRICAN METHODIST EPISCOPAL ZION CHURCH.
Rev. Dr. Emmanuel Kweku Badu Essilfie, Presiding Elder, the Flamboyant Swedru District of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church.
He was the Pastor-in-charge of Bishop Lartey Society, Senya Beraku who effected the establishment of the 1st Senya Beraku Brigade Company in Bishop Solomon Domey Lartey Society, Senya Beraku.
During his administration, he saw the need to involve children in the Ministry of God in the A. M. E Zion Church. Hence, tried as much as he can to organize Boys and Girls Officers who could respond positively to his vision for accomplishment.
In as much as this, he sent Three girls in the persons of Sis. Felicity Ekuful, Sis. Evelyn Assibu Cobbina and Sis. Ophelia Abbiw Aidoo to Girls' Brigade Officers' Training Course and Two Boys in the persons of Bro. Francis Effum and Bro. Augustus Ewusi to Boys' Officers' Training Course in September, 2009. Later on the likes of Brothers Prince and John Quaye, Sis. Gifty Esi Essel and Sis. Abigail Doughan also attended the necessary Officers' Training Courses which led to the 1st Enrollment Service of the Company in August and September, 2013 for both Boys' and Girls' Brigades respectively.
He also organized Officers from 2nd Winneba Brigade Company(from Joseph Charles Price Cathedral - a sister Church) in Winneba.
Rev. Dr. Emmanuel Kweku Badu Essilfie eventually became the acting Presiding Elder of the great Triumphant Winneba District of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church in 2012-2013 Conference year and later, became the Presiding Elder of Winneba District during the 2012/2013 Conference year after the death of then Presiding Elder/Bishop's Senior Deputy, the late Rev. Dr. Godfred Kodzo Ngoli-Zormelo.
Presently, Rev. Dr. Emmanuel Kweku Badu Essilfie is the Presiding Elder of the Flamboyant Swedru District of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church as a result of the need to contribute to the expansion of the District with the best of his knowledge, experience, anointing, unction, etc. he is endowed with.
