- Rev. Evan David during his performance
The maiden edition of the El Emeth Worship Experience, which was staged at the Perez Dome in Accra last weekend, was nothing short of spirit-filled encounters as patrons were treated to delightful performances.
Hosted by Rev. Minister and worship leader, Evan David, the event, which saw the launch of his album, was graced by award winning gospel artiste, Celestine Donkor, who took the crowd to heavens with her outstanding renditions.
Others who gave out their best performances on the day were dynamic worship leader, Ps. Emmitt Jim Konadu, gospel minister, Dannie Danso, and Ruby Barnor.
Rev. Evan David gave audience a feel of some of the songs on his album with first and second appearances.
It started with one of fan’s favourites ‘You Change Not’ before introducing ‘Onokwafo,’
‘Sing Praise’ and ‘El Emeth.’
Aside his own songs, the dynamic minister performed a worship medley focusing on songs that portrays God’s faithfulness.
“It was spirit-filled, powerful performance that met the expectations of the audience considering the feedback received,” he told the Spectator Agoro after the event.
He praised his team for the production, set up and delivery on the night, which made it one of the colourful and impactful gospel events to be hosted in Ghana.
He also expressed appreciation to Archbishop Charles Agyinasare, wife, Rev. Vivian Agyinasare, and other individuals and sponsors who ensured a successful event.
“El Emeth has come to stay as we will make it an annual event and ensure it becomes bigger every year,” he stated.
With focus now on promoting his album, he urged gospel lovers to stream the song across all platforms.

After years of development, funding, and creative grit, Ghanaian feature film “Ego Reach We All” has earned an official nomination to make its world premiere at the 79th Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland this month.
Formerly titled Vagabonds, the 105-minute drama was written and directed by Amartei Armar and produced by Yemoh Ike.
It marks one of the biggest international breakthroughs for Ghanaian cinema in recent years.
The film was shot entirely in Ghana with a Ghanaian cast and crew, grounding it in authentic local culture.
Post-production was completed in France, a collaboration that Director Amartei Armar says reflects the film’s spirit, “A Ghanaian story told with the world.”
The journey began in 2018 when the short film version won at the Montreal World Film Festival, an Oscar-qualifying event.
From there, ‘Ego Reach We All’ grew into a full-length feature backed by some of the most respected names in global film development: Winner – Cannes Focus CoPro, Recipient – Red Sea Development Fund, Honoree – Red Sea Souk Award and Backed by – Red Sea Productions Fund.
Industry watchers have called it one of the most promising African film projects to emerge in the last decade.
Beyond awards, the project was shaped in top international labs.
Armar was selected for the Heyazah Screening Lab in Doha, Qatar, to refine the film’s narrative.
Producer, Yemoh Ike joined the prestigious, 2023 EAVE Producers Programme under a CNC scholarship, with training sessions in Luxembourg, Austria, and the Netherlands.
Most recently, the film was chosen for the 2025 Atlas Workshop in Marrakesh, Morocco, cementing its place in global cinema circles.
Casts include, Idrissu Tontie, Dorothy Adobea Tandoh, Emmanuel Wilberforce, Barbara Yong Jin, Emmanuel Owusu Ofori, O’Bryan Kwame Enyan, Gabriel Narh Addo, Nelly Bilson, and Kwame Brenya.
For the team, Locarno is not just a festival slot. It’s validation that Ghanaian stories, told by Ghanaians, can compete on the world’s most respected stages.
“Principal photography was done entirely by Ghanaian creatives,” the producers noted.
