Charles Agyinasare (English pronunciation: / ɑdʒɪnəsɑ:ri / born 22 March 1962) is a Ghanaian Christian minister, international speaker, and author of several Christian books.
He is the Founder of Perez Chapel International – a Pentecostal-Charismatic ministry. Dr Morris Cerullo remarked on him by stating, “It is very rare in the calling of God to see the apostolic, evangelistic, prophetical, pastoral, teaching call all manifested through one ministry. But there, it is – in Archbishop Asare’s calling, we see the 5-fold ministry”.
Agyinasare started the Teshie Praise Assembly in 1983, which he gave out when he started going around holding crusades. He had an encounter in a Morris Cerullo School of Ministry in Accra Technical Training Center (ATTC), where he heard the voice of God say to him, “My boy Charles, I send you out as I sent Moses; go, and I will put My word on your lips, and reach the world for Me.
After the meeting he sought a place to fast and pray; and on the third day he heard the same voice again, “My boy Charles, I give unto you power over demons and principalities, heal the sick, raise the dead and preach the kingdom.” He, therefore, broke his fast and began to hold Brother Charles Gospel Crusades, which attracted thousands with undeniable proofs of the Holy Ghost.
In recognition of his distinguished service to humanity, he has been awarded two honorary doctorate Degrees in Divinity and Humanity from reputable Universities in Europe and India respectively.
In 1991, Agyinasare was awarded Honorary Doctor of Divinity from London’s Shiloh Ecclesiastical Bible College, by Archbishop Malachi Ramsey at Living Springs-Chapel International, UK.
He also holds a Doctor of Philosophy Degree in Theology from Vision International University, USA. In 2015, Agyinasare was awarded The Global Leadership Award from Regent University, USA by Professor Clifton Clarke in recognition of his efforts in raising leaders across the world and for his impact across the globe. He has been given declarations from the Senate of Texas and is also an honorary citizen of Houston, in May 1999.
Agyinasare has fellowshipped with, counselled and prayed for presidents, both nationally and internationally. These include His Excellency Jerry John Rawlings (former President, Ghana), His Excellency John Dramani Mahama (Ghana), His Excellency John Evans Atta Mills (late former President, Ghana), His Excellency John Agyekum Kufour (former President, Ghana), President Laurent Gbagbo (former President, Ivory Coast), President Faure Gnassingbé (Togo) and H.E Kofi Annan, former UN Secretary General.
