Hundreds turn out at Mega Kharis Int. gospel music concert
The much anticipated evangelism extravaganza loaded with gospel music and dance came off last Saturday at the Mega Kharis International Ministries, Adentan in Accra.
The yearly event which drew hundreds of Christians and non-Christians to the venue had the theme, “My Praise, My Miracle” and was organized by the Mega Kharis Church Choir, Ministers of Grace.
The idea behind the prpgramme was to use gospel music through praises and worship to win souls for Jesus Christ at commanded by Jesus Himself in the Bible.
The Ministers of Grace sang songs in English, Ewe and Twi to praise the name of the Lord which brought the audience to their feet while some were even on their knees, and others lying on the floor including children.
When the Head Pastor of the Church, Rev Shamoson Abbey took over the stage to give a short exaltation beginning with a song “Breathe” it was awesome as most of the audience shed tears, with some kneeling while others also prayed in the spirit to worship the Almighty God.
Pastor Abbey expressed worry that some African leaders especially Ghana, who have all the opportunities on earth to give their total lives to Christ, serve Him wholeheartedly, receive good counsel from the Almighty God to make good decisions and judgements, had rejected them.
This, he said, had led to corruption and bad decisions for the nations.
Defining worship, Rev Abbey said it was a clarion call for the Holy Spirit to the believer to always lift the name of the almighty God through Jesus Christ who sacrificed His life on the cross for mankind.
Speaking prophetically from Isaiah 60 he said God was preparing His people for a massive worship explosion in 2022 where he would visit the nations of the earth with His glory especially Africa.
He said that God was going to cleanse the Church with His divine power to expose the false prophets and remove the filthy garments from His ministers.
Rev Abbey said God was going to turn global tables down and heal Africa from its wounds and restore its lost glory where many nations would run to Africa for spiritual directions and guidance.
“Africa will become the consultant for the nations, not with support and guidance alone but in spiritual guidance” he stated.
He urged the youth to serve the Lord and never neglect Jesus Christ in their lives to enable them move away from the many social vices confronting them.

Ahyiresu and Abofrem, two quiet communities in the Atwima Mponua District, have been shaken to the core by a chilling midnight drama that reads like a nightmare.
A pastor and a young mother stand accused of attempting to bury a five‑month‑old baby girl alive, a crime that has ignited outrage and disbelief across the township.
According to police, Apostle Richmond Akwasi Frimpong, 36, Head Pastor of the Anointed Grace Prayer Ministry at Kuffour Camp, conspired with his uncle Emmanuel Appiah, 53, and the child’s mother, 23‑year‑old Beatrice Agyapomaa, to dispose of the infant, Anaya Achiaa, under the cover of darkness.
A fourth suspect, Emmanuel Donkor, remains on the run.
The suspects were caught near a refuse dump around 10 pm on April 9, 2026, after a vigilant resident, Akwasi Twezor, noticed their suspicious movements.
When confronted, they claimed the child was already dead and had palace approval for burial. But Twezor’s instincts proved right—the baby was still alive, gasping faintly for breath.
Chief Linguist, Nana Yaw Badu, later confirmed that Frimpong had misled him earlier in the evening, securing permission for burial by falsely declaring the child dead.
The infant was rushed to the Abofrem Clinic, where she is now responding well to treatment. Police described her as “very beautiful.”
Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Evelyn Yitamkey, Commander of DOVVSU in Bibiani, confirmed that the suspects have been provisionally charged.
Frimpong faces attempted murder and conspiracy charges, while Agyapomaa and Appiah are charged with conspiracy and abetment.
They were remanded by the Bibiani Circuit Court, presided over by Judge Frank Asiedu Nimako, to assist investigations.
The docket has been forwarded to the Attorney General’s Department for advice, ASP Yitamkey indicated.
The attempted crime has provoked fury among residents, many suspecting ritual motives aimed at bolstering the pastor’s influence.
Crowds attempted to attack the suspects outside court, but police intervention prevented mob justice.
The Assembly Member for Ahyiresu, Yusuf Suleiman, has assured residents that justice will be pursued swiftly.

The forecourt of the African University of Communications and Business (AUCB) in Accra came alive on Friday with colour, creativity and innovation, as Level 300 students transformed the space into a lively exhibition of ideas.
Under the theme “Building meaningful brands beyond the logo,” the students invited patrons into a world where ordinary products were reimagined through storytelling, design and purpose.
From scented candles to innovative food concepts, each stand told a unique story, one that went beyond aesthetics to capture identity, value and human connection.
For many of the students, the event was more than just an academic exercise; it was a moment to dream out loud.
Guided by their lecturer, Peter Wonders, they explored what it truly means to build a brand in today’s competitive world where trust, consistency and experience matter just as much as logos and slogans.
Chairman of the occasion, Nana Kum Gyata VI, in his remarks said a brand is what people say about you when you are not present.
At the end of the presentations, awards were presented to deserving groups with Vida Nyaneba emerging as the overall best branding student.
