Apostle Segio Pua Adu

Apostle Segio Pua Adu, a beloved resident of Stone Mountain, GA, was born on April 7, 1972 in Accra, Ghana, West Africa to the late Mr. Emmanuel Asamoah Adu and Mrs. Esther Ama Nyarkoa Adu. He transitioned to be with the Lord on June 22, 2025, with his loved ones by his side. He started his basic schooling at New Nation School and later wrote his common entrance exams and gained admission at Accra High Secondary School. During his time at Accra High, he played football (soccer), table tennis, and was also a member of the Scripture Union Association. After school, he exhibited his love for fashion and modeling. He attended Goethe-Institute Ghana where he studied German language and Management. He left for England and later relocated to the USA. He was employed at Office Depot for almost 25 years as a very skilled Production Specialist. In 2007, he met Shemica Lockey (Adu) and they married in 2010 all while serving in ministry at New Birth MBC. Alongside his wife, he later served as a Minister over the Discipleship Ministry and was a part of the Ministerial Alliance. Apostle Segio was an anointed living epistle read by people who encountered him. He embodied the purpose of Discipleship — "developing a personal, lifelong, obedient relationship with Jesus Christ in which Christ transforms character into Christ likeness; changing values into Kingdom values; involving Christ’s mission in the home, the church, and the world.” Apostle Segio understood that the most important way to lead others in their relationship with Christ was modeling the kind of relationship Christ wanted them to develop. He lived Christ’s commands and taught others by practicing Christ’s example and sharing the gospel. He facilitated discipleship groups in excellence with integrity and added tremendous value. Because he had a submitted personal relationship with Christ, his discipleship groups were submitted to leadership which positively impacted the ministry. Apostle Segio manifested Godly character and exhibited love with an urgency to gain all lost souls to Christ. Not only was he giving, hardworking, determined, charismatic, honest, kind, and a gentleman with style, but he was also a discerning Prophet who was dedicated to following Jesus Christ and allowed Jesus to be Lord in every aspect of life. Even his favorite saying and last words to us were, “Jesus is Lord!” In 2019, Apostle Segio and his wife partnered with Ruwa for Life to build a water borehole in his father’s ancestral village of Tosen, located in the Eastern Region of Ghana, West Africa. We were humbled to provide a lifetime of clean running water to thousands of citizens of the Tosen Community. He ensured water was still available in the community throughout the years by having his brothers visit the site often and provided resources to upkeep the borehole. In 2020, Apostle Segio and family transitioned from New Birth and started The Power of the Everlasting Word Ministry with a mission to teach, preach, demonstrate and manifest the sound doctrine of Jesus Christ to all the earth. He believed the greatest and most important inheritance to transfer or leave to the next generation is the word of truth—which is the revealed word of Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit. Through The Power of the Everlasting Word Ministry, he discipled, mentored, improved the lives of others, won souls for Jesus Christ, and nurtured the physical and spiritual growth of so many people along the way. His top priority was family, and if nobody else knew Jesus, he wanted to ensure his wife, kids, and all family and friends did. He is preceded in death by Emmanuel Asamoah and Esther Ama Nyarkoa Adu (parents), Agnes Adu (sister) and Archibald Kooboye Adu (brother). Apostle Segio loved all his family and friends dearly, both locally and internationally. He leaves to cherish his legacy, his loving wife and best friend, Shemica; their two beautiful daughters, Gabrielle and Michaela, and unborn child whom he loved so much of Stone Mountain, GA; four brothers, Edward Adu, Joseph (Florence) Adu, Henry (Akua) Adu, Daniel Kofi Danso (known as Armani) of Ghana; a sister, Rosamond Abena Ohenewaa of Ghana; father and mother-in-law, Ernest and Willie Mae Lockey, Sr. of Waycross, GA; brothers-in-law, Ernest (Kia) Lockey, Jr. of Waycross, GA, Chris Johnson of Orlando, FL; sisters-in-law, Earnestine (Pastor Roger) Smith, Stephanie Lockey, Angela (Van) Clark of Waycross, GA, Shariska (James) Smith of Kennesaw, GA; uncles, Emmanuel Yaw Asare of Ghana, James (Claretha) Smith, Sr. of Baxley, GA, Larry (Gwen) Lockey, Johnny (Robbie) Lockey, and Anthony (Stephanie) Lockey of Waycross, GA, Michael (Wilmatine) Lockey of Allenhurst, GA; aunts, Sheila (Elder Lewis) Stinson, Fannie (Bishop Michael) Flynn of Waycross, GA; god-daughter, Trinity Hill of Atlanta, GA; a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and many other family and dear friends. “Well done, good and faithful servant.” – Matthew 25:23 Apostle Segio’s favorite colors were purple (representing Royalty) and red (representing the Blood of Jesus).
