Madam Amma Animah said that; Apostle Pro. Emeritus Kwadwo Safo was very obedient to his parents and was serviceable and hardworking boy. He would fetch water from the Sunyam river at Kensere and always go to farm during the weekends. At school, he was intelligent and was very skilful in crafts making. He could use bamboo to make toy cars, aeroplanes, trucks, etc. All the people in the village and his school mates admired his dexterity in crafts making. It was no wonder some accused him of wizardry.

When he completed elementary school at Bom, he went and stayed with his sister at Essankwanta a village not far from Kensere. After some few years with his sister, he realized that his parents could not support him to further his education because of financial problems. He therefore travelled to Kumasi to seek employment.

At Kumasi, life became unbearable but as if it was a divine intervention, a Frenchman called Cshornez discovered him wandering on the streets and had pity on him. He took him to his house and taught him his trade, Welding. He sent him to do a course in welding at the Ghana Technical Works in Kumasi.

After completing the course, he sent him to continue his education at Italy. When he returned to Ghana, he was employed at Kaiser Engineers at Tema as a senior welder. That was the career of Apostle Prof Emeritus Kwadwo Safo who later left his vocation at Kaiser Engineers to start his ministry.
