Accra, Ghana — In a time when many people cite busy schedules as a reason for not engaging in ministry, one Ghanaian business mogul is proving that where there is a will, there is a way.
Samuel Amo Tobbin, the CEO of Tobinco Pharmaceuticals, recently took to the streets—not for business, but to share the gospel of Jesus Christ in a local market.
A video of his market evangelism went viral this week, drawing thousands of reactions from across the internet. Shared by @gospelhypers_, the clip shows the billionaire walking through the marketplace, preaching, praying for people, and even blessing some with money, in a powerful display of Christian humility and generosity.
“This is a billionaire who’s still proud to worship God in the local market. His level of humility is why God will never forsake him,” commented one follower.
The overwhelming response on social media ranged from admiration to conviction:
• “And someone who does a 7-5 type of work claims to be too busy to do the work of God. Mercy!”
• “If billionaires still worship God, what’s stopping you and me?”
• “This is the gospel—blessing people spiritually and physically.”
• “This man makes Christianity beautiful.”
Others praised his dedication to "possessing the nations"—a term drawn from a popular Ghanaian church movement—by boldly taking faith into the public and business arena.
Many users emphasized that faith should not be confined to church buildings, and that wealth should never be a barrier to humility and service. Some even testified that his commitment challenged their own excuses and spiritual apathy.
“Anyone, anytime, anywhere can be called to do the work of God. It doesn’t matter your status,” wrote one user.
Though some voices raised questions about the sincerity or sustainability of such public acts, the general consensus was clear: Samuel Amo Tobbin’s actions were an inspiring example of living out the gospel with boldness, generosity, and humility.
