Arnold Ossei, a famous Ghanaian has established himself as one of the best dressed Ghanaians in the United States. Having worked at the Men's Wearhouse for the past 18 years he has earned the reputation as one of the top salesmen for a number of years. He made the founders club by producing over half a million dollars in sales for seven years in a row.
He has been working as a lifestyle revamping client’s closet/wardrobe and introducing new styles, colors, correct footwear and proper fit depending on the shape of the individual. This has earned him promotion at the Men’s’ Wearhouse to the position of assistant manager. According to Arnold, “fashion comes and goes but Style lasts forever. Fit is very significant when it comes to men’s tailored clothing. Most men wear their tailored clothing too big, too long or the wrong style and cut depending on the body type, sleeves tend to be too long which should sit at the break of the wrist, coat should be slightly snug in the mid-section but certainly not tight the jacket should cover just below the seat, the flat front dress slacks gives a very nice slim tailored appearance for any body shape, keep the hem just above the top heel of the dress shoes. 
   Unless you are an advance sartorialist stay away from the four button suits, a two button suit is the best for any body type always keep the lower button unbuttoned, the three button suit fits a more slimmer built not so broad chested individual only the middle button should stay close, the one button suit is more a fashion forward statement maker, works very well on a more broad chested individual especially in the peak lapel which you see much more in the fashion powerhouses, the double breasted suit has made a strong comeback looks best on a more slightly slimmer figure look for the six on two side vents make sure it stays button at all times. If you choose to wear a skinny tie keeps the lapel on the suit coat slim with a smaller shirt collar and do not tie a full windsor knot, a four in hand or half windsor is more preferable, the widespread shirt works well with the full windsor and a wider lapel suit coat.”
 On Arnold’s recommendation for the kind of fabric one should pick he says “When shopping for a suit opt for a wool fabric, there are different grades the super 120s and 150s are great for the spring/summer the flannel is excellent for the winter season, keep it dark for business and formal events, the cotton suit or seersucker is great for casual activities. Men needs to challenge themselves with bold colors and patterns. He needs to combine the ordinary with the unexpected and keep everyone guessing about what he will do say and wear next. You can always contact me for any questions on facebook/bespoke consulting under professional services.”

Divine Word Ministry Leads The Way To Make A Difference In The Lives Of The Needy

Some believe in amassing wealth, others believe in getting the best things in life but there is a man of God who believes in giving his best to the community. From his humble beginnings in Ghana he has risen within a short span to be one of the most sought after ministers of this age. His deep passion to assist the needy has made his Divine Word International Ministry a household name in the United States.
The Divine Word Ministry under the able leadership of Bishop Dr. Kofi Adonteng Boateng recently embarked on a mission to make provision for orphans, widows and homeless shelters in the community borne out of his concern and desire to be an inspiration to all manner of people regardless of race.
It would be recalled that a delegation from the ministry travelled to Ghana in 2011 and donated items including clothes, cooked food, canned food and presented checks to orphanages in Kumasi and Accra. In addition to the donations, they also paid medical bills for many patients at the country's premiere hospital who were waiting to be discharged.
Since the beginning of the year 2012, the ministry has not relented in their efforts to reach out to the needy.
Drawing inspiration from the book of James 1:27 which says “Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction and to keep oneself unstained from the world” his selfless devotion to the poor and needy has earned him and his ministry accolades beyond measure.
The Bishop has personally led his entire ministry to various homeless shelters within the Washington Metro area to clean up and also make provision for the residents of homeless shelters in the community. He prays for the residents, inspire them, and provide food as well as basic hygiene needs.
On Saturday, September 29, 2012 the Bishop led an army of worshippers to the Baileys crossroads homeless shelter and touched many lives.
They donated several boxes of canned food, organized a cleanup of the premises, prayed and touched the lives of the residents some of whom openly saw the gesture as a transformational moment in their lives. According to a resident “We are people in great need, there's no doubt about that, as such your provision for us is truly a God send”
The community Shelter, a 50-bed, emergency homeless shelter for adult men and women is located in the city of Falls Church in the Fairfax County. Bishop Adonteng and his ministry's provision goes a long way to assist and restore hope to the residents.
The Director of the shelter expressed her profound appreciation for the gesture and mentioned that the exemplary devotion to the needy is worthy of emulation.
According to the Bishop, “This is not going to be a nine day wonder because we are committed and inspired to carry this mission on to every part of the country on a regular basis.”
He continued “I am therefore appealing to each and everyone who shares this passion to join hands with us in making a difference in the lives of the needy”
