History of The Corner Stone Brotherhood Ministry

The Corner Stone Brotherhood (TCSB) is a Christian organization committed to reaching the unreached with the gospel of Christ, breathing life into communities less-represented in the Christian faith and planting churches in areas that have no church. In furtherance to this, TCSB offers sound-biblical teachings in matters of health, career, leadership, wealth, marriage, social justice and reconciliation, and social responsibilities.

To validate the Biblical Mandate to care for the poor and the needy, TCSB intends to fight poverty and minimises its impact through Free Skill Training (FSK) to be offered under our department “Unlocking Potentials Concern Group” 

Pastor Benjamin Amankwaa (Ghana), Lorna Lewis (USA)- who offered a lot of assistance in many areas - and Terry Howell (UK), founded TCSB, then known as “Mustard Seed Evangelism & Prayer Fellowship” in 1998. Benjamin Amankwaa was then operating in the following ministries and / or departments with Holy Temple Assemblies of God Church, Fumesua-Chirikrom, in Ashanti Region of Ghana, under the General Administration of Rev. Francis Osei Akoto-Bempah:

President - Youth Ministry

Vice President - Prayer Ministry

Youth & Adult Teacher - Sunday School Ministry

Chairman - Missions Ministry  

Having served in the above ministries for many years, and leading youth for camps, retreats and many others, including regular representation of Holy Temple Assemblies of God Church in Regional Bible Quizzes, the Lord gave him a passion to form a non-denominational group of Christians to unite in common to “press toward the goal” of carrying the message of salvation through Christ to the uttermost parts of the earth. Acts 1:8; Phil. 3:14. He met Lorna Lewis later, who also offered a lot of assistance in many ways, which provided a ground and foundation upon which the ministry’s growth started. Since then, the fellowship has undertaken many projects ranging from church renewal, revival and evangelism, to church planting. The Fellowship has also undergone series of modifications and has finally been established as The Corner Stone Brotherhood (TCSB). 

Currently, TCSB has 38 committed volunteers worldwide serving as Pastors, Teachers, Evangelists, Prophets and Church-Planters. These are people who are prepared for a real-world Christian ministry; people who use both their human and material blessings to promote the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ in a post-modern anti-truth world, while providing a caring, sharing attitude for all members of the human race…anywhere!  

International Structure.

TCSB believes that the people of God can join hands to form a dynamic team united in common for the cause of Christ. Yes, TCSB believes in ministry, and not in office, and therefore seeks to bring together people of God for a common goal. We thing it is time Christians forgo the consideration of the natural differences for the advancement of our mutual interest. In doing this, TCSB currently has the following people outside Ghana involved in promoting the ministry internationally as volunteers: 

Terry Howell (UK)- Ministry Governor’s Rep. & Gov. Board

David Grant (USA)- Ministry’s Representative, USA

Lorna Lewis (USA) – Founding member

Christian Robert Bartha (Germany)- Ministry’s Representative, Germany

Bishop Nevada Smith (USA)- General Overseer, Volunteers

Peter B. Jones (UK)- Gov. Board member

Jo-Ann Campbell (USA)- Ruling Elder

Kingston Lewis (Australia)- Ruling Elder
