CHAPTER 1

BIRTH OF WONDER

I was born on June 17, 1955 during a church convention at Abura Edumfa near Cape Coast in Ghana. My father named me after my grandfather, Isaac Korsah Leeward.

When my mother was in her ninth month of pregnancy, she went to the nearby forest to pick firewood. On returning home, she was bitten by a poisonous snake. My father took her to a hospital in Bibiani, a gold mining town. While walking to the hospital in pain, a man unexpectedly approached them and inquired why my mother had a swollen foot. My father explained, and the man then requested to be shown the area of the bite. Wordlessly, with a serious look, he examined the wound, and then told my parents to wait. He dashed to the nearby bush and quickly returned with certain leaves in his hand. To their amazement, he retrieved a blade from his bag, and confidently proceeded to cut the affected area. He quickly took his leaves and squeezed them together in his palms until they released a green liquid, which he dripped onto the affected area. All of a sudden, the fangs of the snake appeared and he pulled them out.

They thanked him for his help and continued to walk towards the hospital. As they glanced back to take one last look at the man who had helped them, there was no one to be found.

At the hospital, the medical staff was glad the fangs were out. My mother was treated and released a few days later.

When she arrived home, my father told her to get ready to go to her parents at Abura Dunkwa from Bibiani Goldfields. Because my older brother died two weeks after birth at Bibiani, he wanted her to be with her parents where she would get better care. My mother mentioned that my movement in her womb stopped the day she was bitten by the snake, and from then on her stomach felt cold.

During this period, my grandmother had a dream of my mother in a plane waving a white handkerchief, which was symbolic of death. After this dream, my mothers’ parents began fasting and praying for seven days about their daughter’s pregnancy

When my mother arrived at her parents’ home, they were expecting her because of the dream.

The proceeding day her parents left for a church convention at Abura Edumfa, which is about eight miles from home. Early the following morning she was awakened from sleep, and as if someone was telling her to take her bag and board the first lorry (bus) to the Musama Disco Christo Church (MDCC) church convention, and she complied.

She got to the convention around 7am, when they were conveying for the early morning prayers. As she was approaching closer to the church, she felt labor pains for the first time since the snakebite. One of the convention attendees ran to her aid and took her to a room. There she delivered a stillborn baby, tragedy struck a second time. Afterwards, she immediately sent for her parents.

When her parents arrived and realized that it was their daughter, they were astonished. Their daughter had given birth to their second grandson, and he was also dead. After which her father said authoritatively, "I am not going to leave this room until God restores the life of my grandson. What are we going to tell the world? That we went to a church convention to worship our Lord and he allowed the devil to kill our
