In a moving ceremony at the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Victory Congregation, Fafraha, the leadership of the church has commended Charlotte Anokye, a humble fruit vendor whose quiet act of compassion recently went viral.
Not just commendation. Her account at the Church Credit Union was credited with working capital to support her fruit trading business, a gesture that will help sustain her livelihood.
On Sunday, the Minister in charge of the congregation, Rev. Ebenezer Decker, commended Charlotte for being a worthy Ambassador of Christ. He praised her example of living faith through action, saying: Charlotte has shown us that true discipleship is not in words but in deeds. She is a worthy Ambassador of Christ, and we are proud to call her one of our own.
Charlotte first came to public attention when a passerby recorded her quietly sharing fruits with a hungry stranger who had no money. That simple act of compassion, done without expectation of recognition, went viral and inspired countless people across Ghana.
Her story, however, is not only about one act of kindness. She is known within the congregation as part of the selfless team that cleans the chapel and its surroundings week after week. Her quiet service, combined with her compassion in daily life, reflects the Presbyterian tradition of faith expressed through practical love.
Her honour by the church underscores a powerful truth: when we serve others with love, God makes our kindness known. Charlotte’s recognition is both a celebration of her humility and a call to all believers to embody Christ’s compassion in everyday life.
