Charles Agyin-Asare Biography and Educational Background
Charles Agyin-Asare was born on the 22nd of March, 1962 into a Catholic family. His parents were Staff Sergent Andrews Asare and Elizabeth Arthur. In 2011, he changed his name to Agyinasare, following an Accra High Court decree.He was raised in Accra, where he attended Weija Barracks Primary and the Armed Forces Experimental School for his primary education. At the age of 11, he got enrolled in the prestigious St. Martin’s Secondary School for his secondary education.
While in school, Agyin-Asare got overtaken by pressure from his fellow students who much older than him and got caught up in what he calls 'sin, revelry, alcoholism and drug addiction' and was a 'women-chasing college freak'. He was later expelled from St. Martin’s.
Conversion to Christianity
Charles Agyin-Asare in his quest for answers and thirst for the supernatural practised Nichiren Shoshu Buddhism for four years; subsequently fasted and prayed with Muslims in contemplation of converting to Islam, all of which felt to satisfy him.In 1980, he got invited to the Church of Pentecost, where he responded to an altar call and got saved at the age of 18. This lead to his conversion to Christianity and subsequent deliverance from drug addiction and debauchery.
Three years after his deliverance, he quit his job and came into full-time pastoral ministry. During that period, he absorbed himself in books of Charles Finney, AW Tozer, RA Torrey, Andrew Murray, as well as the biographies and autobiographies of modern-day preachers.

In 1987, he started a church, World Miracle Bible Church which was later renamed Word Miracle Church International (now Perez Chapel International) in Tamale, the Northern Region of Ghana.
