Anna Gandolfi, ladies and gentlemen, good evening. With your Permission I would want  to read the Profile of Dr. Diana Adu Biney. Thank you.
 
Rev. Diana Adu was born in Ghana, west Africa at Kumasi and raised in Takoradi on the 24th of July,1966. She is an Akwapim by tribe. Diana's parents were both in the ministry, her father, an ex barrister and judge became a Rev. Minister, Prophet and General Overseer of the Barachah Church. Mrs Florence Adu, Diana's mother was the church's mother. Diana begun singing in the church choir at the age of 6 and at the age of 9, she was teaching children at the sunday school. 
 
MARITAL STATUS:
She is happily married to Apostle Nana Biney and they have three beautiful children: two boys and one girl. They have been married for 24 years now.
 
EARLY MINISTRY AS A SINGING EVANGELIST:
Diana's public ministry begun in 1994 following her migration to Italy to join her husband, Apostle Nana Biney, in 1989. She faced a severe persecution for her uniqueness through her course of formation in the church as a worship leader, a key soloist in the choir and a church translator. This became her turning point when in 1996, she launched her first gospel maiden album, entitled HE IS ALIVE.
 
The apostolic oil on her was evident to many men and women of God. Some dubbing her as "the bulldozer".
 
She was graced with a unique anointing in ministering to the unsaved in the Italian territories where the gospel had never been preached!
The form of her ministration which was mainly through her gospel music made many Italians dub her the singing cathechist whiles the Italian media preferred her to be known as the queen of gospel music.
 
Rev. Diana then formed a gospel evangelistic team THE AFRO GOSPEL GROUP and through it many unconceivable doors where opened to her and the husband Apostle Nana Biney whose passion for souls, led him to support his wife as both worked together with local leaders in the municipality. From there she and the husband begun a bold new discovery and journey into the work of the ministry in profound teaching dimensions with prophetic and apostolic revelations.
 
Rev. Diana and her husband together with their children, travelled every sunday to the south east of Italy, to preach the gospel and care for God's sheep, but their passion for missions work, caused Rev. Diana to stay behind and gather thier Italian converts in a home cell group which developed into a church. They were given a strong foundation of faith and leadership training.
 
ORDINATION
In the year 2002, Rev. Diana together with her husband were ordained as pastors of the Christ Temple Church, in Brescia. Both were blessed, rooted, and established to serve under the leadership of Bishop Frederick Huff of the Mount Calvary Holy Church of America.
 
RADIO & TV PROGRAMS
Rev. Diana's pioneering charisma was also evidenced in her being the first to have a gospel radio and TV programme in her city. She immediately became a symbol of reference and an icon in the city and a point of reference to her community, the church and to African immigrants. In the year 2006, Rev. Diana pioneered the TV evangelistic gospel programme in English and Italian and shared ministry to the airwaves on a secular TV.
 
Rev. Diana is a journalist and the first African female news broadcaster in Italy. She is also the founder of The Ghana-Italy News and the African-International Herald.
Taking advantage of the numerous opportunities God presented to her in the city, she together with her evangelistic team, combed the whole nation, wide and near with the gospel.
 
AT THE VATICAN
In the year 2009, she was invited to minister at the 25th Anniversary celebrations of Pope John Paul 11. She then gained national audience and was interviewed  by the Italian National TV on her evangelistic missions in Italy.

APOSTOLIC TRAVELS AND INFLUENCE
The influence of the kingdom through her life opened up many doors for her to travel. The teaching and mentoring ministry became national and international and the demand for apostolic impartation and activation became clearly evident. Thousands of lives have been blessed by this ministry including corporate and personal prophecy, the laying on of hands, conferral of gifts, divine healings, the working of miracles, and the revelation gifts of the Spirit. Wherever she ministers people everywhere sense and feel her love and passion for people.  Her down-to-earth lifestyle is a hallmark feature in the life which she lives as an apostle to the nations. She is a counsellor to most political figures in the land and her prophecies concerning the nation of Italy has been greatly appreciated. 
 
That is why one of their chief emphasis is in LOVE, LEADERSHIP, and LEGACY through apostolic spiritual LINEAGE, meaning, the passing down of the generational blessings and trasference of spiritual gifts to the sons and daughters in a land where many still are unable to find their identity. 
 
Rev. Diana Adu believes that destiny produces and legacy reproduces and that the unbroken lineage of the spirit should continue in depositing into faithful men and women everywhere.
