The community of Doninga in the Builsa South District has begun a week of solemn reflection and celebration as they honour the life of Pastor John Azundem Apaak.
The distinguished clergyman and mentor passed away at the age of 81, leaving behind a legacy defined by spiritual devotion and community service.
The news of his transition was shared by his son, Dr Clement Apaak, the Deputy Minister of Education, who described his father as a pillar of strength and a dedicated servant of God.
Throughout his eight decades, Pastor Apaak was known for his tireless efforts in ministry, focusing his life’s work on nurturing faith and offering compassion to those within the Builsa area and beyond.
The final funeral rites, which commenced on Saturday Aprul 25, 2026, are expected to draw mourners from across the country to pay their last respects.
These ceremonies will continue through to April 29th, serving as a formal period for the family and the public to acknowledge the profound impact the late pastor had on his congregation and his kin.
Family members and associates have characterised the late patriarch as a man of deep wisdom who planted seeds of hope in every life he encountered. While the mood in Doninga remains sombre, there is a prevailing sense of gratitude for a life that many describe as exceptionally well-lived.
As the community gathers for the concluding rites this week, the focus remains on ensuring that his values of integrity and unwavering faith continue to inspire the next generation.
