I Don’t Want Any Church Invitations -Yolo Star Drogba

Actor John Peasah, popularly known as Drogba from the TV series YOLO, has asked Ghanaians to stop sending him church invitations as he focuses on his health.

In an Instagram post dated December 7, the actor, whose medical issues have affected his ability to walk properly, said he has been receiving numerous church invitations and no longer wants any more.

On August 30, 2024, Drogba reportedly received spiritual attention from Pastor Enoch Ofori Boamah, then-leader of the Christ Embassy Airport City Youth Church (CECY), during a Night Miracle Service. His sister testified in church that the YOLO actor had experienced profound healing during the prayer service.

However, a year later, Drogba clarified that he did not receive an instant healing from the church service. He explained that while he felt slightly better after the prayers, his condition did not disappear immediately. He noted that what he experienced was progressive healing, not an instant cure.

According to Drogba, ever since the Christ Embassy Airport City Youth Church service, he has been overwhelmed with church invitations. He emphasised that this is not the time for such invites to be about comparing power or influence, as he wants to avoid controversy and focus on his well-being.

“In the name of God, I humbly request that you please keep me away from any further invitations to other churches. My DM is getting full of invites. This isn’t about comparing power or influence, it’s about my well-being.

I’ve been through a lot and want to avoid any more controversy,” he wrote.

Reports about his condition in 2024 also affected donations to his $280,000 fundraiser, which have stalled.

The actor is appealing for financial support as he continues to battle a demyelinating disorder, a condition that damages the protective covering of nerves in the brain, eyes, and spinal cord.

“I’ve moved forward and am grateful to have had the chance to clear things up. I believe in God’s miracles and power, and I pray for healing. Please help me get the medical treatment I need during this time,” he said.
