=  Osborn Dushie     =     Osborn Dushie was born to Thomas Dushie and Margaret Dushie on April, 21, 1993 in a small village in the Northern part of Ghana called Number 6, a suburb of Yeji. Osborn was the eighth of eleven siblings; Daniel Yaw Dushie, Joshua Kofi Selorm Dushie, Celestina Enyo Dushie, Christopher Dushie, Abigail Mawusi Dushie, Victor Dushie, Diana Delali Dushie, Josephine Jennifer Dushie, Mary Makafui Dushie and Derrick Mark Kojo Dushie. Six months after Osborn was born, his parents migrated to the capital city and settled at a place called Adenta in the suburb of Accra in the Greater Accra region where he grew up. He attended elementary school at Pantang Hospital Primary/Junior High School between the ages of three (3) to seventeen (17) (from 1996 to 2010) and went to senior high school at West Africa Secondary School (WASSCE) from 2010 to 2013 where he read Business. At the age of seventeen (17), they relocated to Owusu Ansah for a short period of about three (3) months due to a demarcation for the extension of an existing public road which affected their place of residence and later moved to Danfa, their permanent family home on June, 2010. Osborn was an average student while in school but did well in arts. He completed senior high at the age of 20. Throughout elementary and high school, Osborn hadn’t had a definite plan for his life yet, thus; did not know what he wanted to become until he had completed secondary school. After school, Osborn moved to stay with his uncle, Eric Gedjah’ a plumber at Kosoa’ where he learned a plumbing trade for a period of seven (7) months. He returned home on the 24th December, 2013 to spend the Christmas holidays with his family and friends. On January, 2014 he departed back to Kasoa and returned after two weeks just after he had left for Kasoa to get into his newly discovered engineering career through education. Osborn Dushie had developed passion for construction and engineering activities as a career when they first visited a construction site at Dzorwulu, a residential building for Ibrahim Mahama; the brother of the former President of Ghana; John Dramani Mahama being constructed by PWD Construction company (while learning the plumbing trade). PWD Construction is a construction company established by a Philippine. Construction and engineering became so dear to him. His uncle’s son, Maxwell Gedjah was studying Architecture at the Central University College in Ghana while he was present with them at Kasoa; which drove his interest into engineering, precisely Civil Engineering. Perhaps, his Business certificate couldn’t get him into engineering. He had his first pre-tertiary Certificate in Construction Technician Course Part I (CTC I) at the Accra Technical Training Centre (ATTC) in the year 2017 and Construction Technician Course Part II (CTC II) in the year 2020 respectively. Osborn Era Dushie was named after Doctor Tommy Lee Osborn a global evangelist and a renowned minister of the gospel and founder of the Osborn Ministries International and author of many Christian literatures. It was said to him by his mum that while he was yet unborn, his mother found a book written by TL Osborn. His mum; Mrs. Margaret Gedjah, could not read English so she handed over the book to Mr. Thomas Dushie, the father of Osborn, who found out the author of the book to be TL Osborn. On the← day he was born, he was named after TL Osborn. Growing up, he desired to be minister of the gospel. In the year 2017, he joined the Lighthouse Chapel International, founded by Dag Heward Mills, a global evangelist. He worked as a shepherd, evangelising the area giving to him; Danfa, from 2017 -2018. In the year 2019 of July 21, he moved to the Christ Evangelist Ministry founded by Steve Mensah, a renowned minister of the gospel. At CEM, Osborn worked as an evangelist, witnessing the gospel to the lost, and busing them to church every Sunday. Osborn attended the Eagle Faith Bible Training Centre and was ordained as an Apostle on September 2019. While in the bible school, Osborn joined the Philip Centre; a missionary team where he travelled around the country evangelizing the lost for Christ. He later got married to Belinda Sefarkor Adoku, a diehard woman of God. Osborn later founded the Christ Advocacy International, a missionary centred gospel organisation. Osborn Dushie testified that at a youth all service at the Church of Pentecost, 2014, the presence of God came upon him while he was praying and spirit ministered through him saying I have chosen you. And out of your family have I chosen you. I have not based on your family background or educational wise. He wept as the voice ministered through him just as it happened to TL. Osborn while he was drawing milk from the cattle. And from then, the desire for the things of God increased intensely. Family The Dushies were believed to have come from Bepko, in the district of North Tongu, the Volta region of Ghana. Mr. Thomas Dushie got married to Margaret Dushie in the year 1964. They gave birth to eleven children. Daniel, Joshua, Celestina, Christopher, Abigail, Victor, Diana, Osborn, Josephine, Mary and Derrick. Osborn happened to be the eight born among the eleven siblings, six of which are males and five females. They settled at Adenta in the suburb of Accra, Ghana, for decades. The Duchies grew up and had all their formal education and trainings in Accra including heir career life. Mr. Thomas Dushie worked as a Mechanical engineer with the Ghana Textile Product Limited, and Margaret Dushie was a trader. She had no formal education except for apprenticeship training in sewing. Life hadn’t been that easy for the Dushies. But the Lord has been faithful to them.
