Michael has passion for turning many to rightousness. He leads weekly community scriptural prayer meetings at the House Or Prayer For Everyone H.O.P.E. in the Adenta.
The reality is that children at age 10, should be in primary 4 or 5 but Michael Blair Tasiamo is in SHS 1 at age 10. He is a General Science student as well and that makes it an interesting story confirming that he is an amazing child with unique potentials.
News about Michael Tasiame popped up on social media and featured prominently online and on some major news channels and media houses after the regional qualification for the National Science And Maths Quiz (NSMQ) in Accra where he was with his school mates participating at the 2020 NSMQ Contest.
Michael said his wonderful academic performance is as a result of the inspiration he draws from the Biblical Statement that " God created him Michael in His image" 'and therefore he is not just a biological being but a wonder just is God is a wonderful God".
