It's a privilege to be a friend of Benjamin. To be in his presence is to experience the grace and love of God. He has overcome great adversity without becoming embittered; he faces disappointment without becoming discouraged. He is quick to declare his trust and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and to share that same passion for struggling humanity that Jesus demonstrated. He is an inspiration and role model, not only for those he so faithfully serves, but for all of us in ministry.

I have known Benjamin Osei for several years and have had the pleasure of working with him within our community. Not only has Benjamin surpassed the ordeals life has thrown at him, he has not allowed them to stop him from achieving his goals. Through his outreach programs he has touched the lives of at risk youth and provided them with the skills needed to achieve their dreams. I am pleased to call Benjamin my friend and to have him as a constituent in my riding of York West. The world would be a much better place if we followed his example and placed the needs of others above our own. Thank you for your commitment to our community.

In my job I get to meet a lot of inspiring people, but few have impacted me as much as meeting and telling the incredible story of Benjamin Osei. His dedication, selflessness and father's heart in a community where there are so many fatherless has never wavered even as he faced deportation. Not only is he committed to the community of Jane/Finch he is raising his own family there. His is a testimony of obedience, sacrifice and above all love.
