Prophet Dr. Kofi Danso was born on February 12, 1982, in Accra, Ghana. As a child, he knew he was set apart to do great things, and from a young age felt the ministry was his calling.

As the ministry continued to grow, Dr. Danso planted churches in Amsterdam and Spain and began ministering in France, Italy, Ghana, the Caribbean, Mexico, and eventually Canada, where he founded Miracle Arena for All Nations.
Miracle Arena for All Nations is a vibrant multicultural church located in the heart of Toronto. With thousands of congregants gathering in person for their weekly services and over 20,000 online viewers, it is one of the fastest growing churches in Ontario.
Balancing his many responsibilities, Prophet Dr. Kofi Danso continues to travel the globe, impacting and empowering countless lives through his powerful ministry. To date, he has ministered in over 31 countries across five continents.
TORONTO – Ontario is pushing through several bills with little or no debate, which the government house leader says is due to a short legislative sitting.
The government has significantly reduced debate and committee time on the proposed law that would force municipalities to seek permission to install bike lanes when they would remove a car lane.
It also passed the fall economic statement that contains legislation to send out $200 cheques to taxpayers with reduced debating time.
The province tabled a bill Wednesday afternoon that would extend the per-vote subsidy program, which funnels money to political parties, until 2027.
That bill passed third reading Thursday morning with no debate and is awaiting royal assent.
Government House Leader Steve Clark did not answer a question about whether the province is speeding up passage of the bills in order to have an election in the spring, which Premier Doug Ford has not ruled out.
