The Hungarian Government has honoured the Founder and Leader of World Miracle Outreach, Dr. Lawrence Tetteh, with the highest national award of the country – the Knight of Cross of the Order of Merit of Hungary.
The award recognised the International Evangelist of his outstanding performance and instrumentality in building the bilateral and business relationship between Ghana and Hungary.
The conferment was done on behalf of the Hungarian President, János Áder, by the Hungarian Ambassador to Ghana, Tamás Fehér, at a brief and colourful ceremony on Wednesday, March 30, 2022, at the Hungary Embassy in Accra.
Conferring the honour on Dr Tetteh, the Hungarian Ambassador mentioned that this was the second time a Ghanaian is receiving such award in the history of Hungary.
Addressing the gathering, the Dean of the Diplomatic Corps, Claudia Turbay Quintero, also observed that the award was in recognition of Dr. Tetteh’s uniqueness in every sphere of life.
She added that Dr. Tetteh’s leadership was exemplary and worthy of emulation.
Former President of Ghana, John Agyekum Kufuor, who graced the occasion, underscored that Dr. Tetteh was deserving of the award and acknowledged how immensely the awardee has contributed towards the opening of the Hungarian Embassy in Ghana.
“Rev. Tetteh is the embodiment of the relations between the two countries—Ghana and Hungary,” former President Kufuor noted.
On her part, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Honourable Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey, also commended Dr. Tetteh’s great help and passion for the Ghana – Hungary relationship and admitted that this can be harnessed for the mutual benefit of their friendship.
In a brief remark, Dr. Tetteh who is also a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (FRSA), a tele- Evangelist, Philanthropist and Counselor, expressed appreciation for the honour done him, and dedicated the award to God.
“If you have the opportunity to do something, do it with your all. The relationship between Ghana and Hungary is through the Jospong Group of Companies (JGC),” he stressed.
He, however, pointed out that “any politician who does not love and fear God, does not merit your vote.”
