‘Global interests is not a church’ -Pastor
… No information from the government?
Steve Ams, the head of Global Interests, LLC, an American concern that plans to build 15,000 affordable houses in Ghana with the post-completion undertaking from Government of their sale to Ghanaian workers, has challenged a media report that the company was a sham and a church.
In interviews with The Statesman, Dr Ams said, “Global Interests, LLC, is not a Church; rather it is a Limited Liability Company.”
Describing the story as shocking and ridiculous, he explained that “Global Interests, LLC is a for profit entity, while on the other hand Churches are normally 501(C)3 non-profit Corporations.”
The Enquirer had published that the address used for Global Interests was in fact a church premises at Houston, Texas.
While admitting to being head of a church, also, the popular TV preacher Dr Ams, in a soft, educated Texan accent, said the impression should not be created that there is some natural conflict between running a church and undertaking business projects, especially a prudent one with a strong bias towards providing social infrastructure for a developing country.
He reiterated a fact supported by official records, “Global Interests, LLC offices are located at 1333 West Loop South, Houston, Texas, 77027. The 7414 Cook Road location has two buildings situated thereon, identified as buildings ‘A’ and ‘B”. Building ‘A’ is a Sanctuary and Building ‘B” is a business office that handles some of our transactions.”
Also, The Statesman spoke to the lawyer of Global Interests, who had two weeks ago drafted a rejoinder to an earlier Enquirer story, threatening to sue the paper. The rejoinder was circulated by Ato Martinson, local representative of Goshen International Construction, a subsidiary of Global Interests, LLC which is in charge of the self-financing housing project in Ghana.
