Praise Bonney in a worship mood
Gospel music lovers that thronged the House of Faith Ministries in Kumasi On Sunday, September 24, for the live gospel music recording at Closer and Deeper (C&D) Experience were thrilled to an unforgettable night of worship and adoration.
They enjoyed spirit-filled ministrations from gospel ministers from the host, Antwi Bonney with stage name, Praise Bonney as well as other performers including Pastor Alfred
Owusu Sekyere, Yaw Boadu Junior, Pastor Sammie Obeng- Poku, Pastor Isaiah Fosu Kwakye, Reverend Mrs Theresa Nyamekye and the music group Reminant Choir.
Patrons were in awe as the presence of God was strongly felt during the ministrations from all artistes who were slated for the live recording.
Praise Bonney recorded his new songs, yet to be unboxed.
On stage, he invited his colleagues Yaw Boadu and Sunyani-based gospel singer Joachim Nyame-Eshun to feature on two of his songs.
The students of Asanteman Senior High School also showed up in their numbers to support the artiste Praise Bonney.
Consequently, the purpose for the show was fulfilled as many souls were won on the night.
In her sermon, Reverend Mrs Esther Nyamekye shared a deep heartfelt message on salvation and followed by an alter call.
Praise Bonney said he was overwhelmed by the number of people that showed up to join him celebrate the savior Jesus Christ.
Praise Bonney told The Spectator that, growing up in the Lord, he realised that the pivotal point of his life in Christ was centred on a strong passion for lost souls and drawing many to the fountain of life, which is Jesus Christ.
“My ministry and songs are inspired by how Christ left all His glory in Heaven just to die this shameful death in my place. I really acknowledge the Holy Spirit who makes it easy and possible for us to access the presence of God at a click”, he said.

Osanju is dead
Popular Ghanaian content creator, Elvis Frimpong, known in showbiz circles as Osanju has been reported dead.
According to sources, he was said to have died in the early hours on Monday, September 1, 2025 after a long battle with blood cancer (Leukemia)
His death has been a shock in the Ghanaian community especially coming shortly after his last post.
His demise comes five months after he had laid his mother, Amounu, also a tiktoker, to rest, having lost her in January.
Hours before his passing, he had posted a video on Sunday with friends watching the Barcelona vs. Rayo Vallecano match, prompting many fans to initially dismiss the reports as a hoax.
Osanju’s death has been described as a huge loss by followers who admired his openness, resilience and positive outlook in the face of ill health.
However, Osanju had previously shared his battle with leukemia, a cancer of the blood, on his TikTok account, even eerily predicting his own demise on a couple of occasions.
