Joseph's pursuit of biblical knowledge and preaching excellence led him to graduate from the esteemed West Coast School of Preaching on June 7, 2008. His thirst for deeper understanding didn't stop there; he went on to earn a Master's in Biblical Studies from Bear Valley Bible Institute of Denver, Colorado, through their extension program in Ghana. This commitment to education and spiritual growth has made him a pillar in his community.

A significant turning point in Joseph's journey was his encounter with Owen Yandell during Owen's first trip to Ghana. Introduced by preachers Moses Kwofie and Simon Ashalley, Joseph shared his dream of attending Bible college. Owen, recognizing Joseph's potential, provided the support needed to make this dream a reality. As Owen recounts, Joseph was the first student preacher he supported, a relationship that has blossomed into a partnership dedicated to spreading the Gospel. From 2006 to the present, Joseph's unwavering dedication has kept him preaching and nurturing his congregation.
