Ghana Adventist choir union chalks 50 years
The Ghana Adventist Choir Union (GACU) last week marked a major milestone by celebrating its 50th anniversary with a call to members to harness the power of music as a tool for evangelism.
The theme: ‘My Heart and Voice for Jesus’, resonated deeply with attendees at the Oyoko celebration in Koforidua.
The Director for Music, Youth, and Adventist Possibility Ministries (APM) at the Southern Ghana Union Conference, Pastor Mark Hado, emphasised the need for the choristers to sing to win souls for Christ.
“We must share the gospel with others to accelerate the spread of God’s word to the world,” he stated.
Pastor Hado encouraged members to deepen their faith and serve God with reverence, promising them divine protection from temptation.
The East Ghana Conference Director for Music, Youth and APM, Pastor Fredrick Attuah, announced the climax of the event which is scheduled for October 17-18 at the Kumasi Cultural Centre where the event will feature musical performances by choirs from across Ghana.
“It’s a privilege to sing for the Lord and win souls for Christ,” he said, and called for unity in achieving a common goal.
He said 15 out of the 20 districts in the EGC, including Asesewa, Koforidua, New Life, Oyoko, Begoro, Abirew, Kukurantumi, Effiduase, Asokore, among others attended the programme.
Again, he indicated that this milestone underscores the choir union’s commitment to using music as a powerful form of worship and evangelism.
Pastor Attuah noted that the upcoming event at the Kumasi Cultural Centre promises to be a highlight in the union’s history, bringing together voices from across the country in praise and worship.

Minister for the Interior, Mubarak Mohammed Muntaka, has confirmed that former Chief Executive Officer of the Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC), Sedina Tamakloe Attionu, is in prison and serving her jail term.
Speaking in an interview on Joy news, Mr. Muntaka dismissed claims that the former MASLOC boss was being held in a private location.
He said she has been in the custody of the state since she returned to Ghana.
“From the day Sedina came, she has been with us, and she’s serving her time,” he said.
The minister explained that the public is not usually told the specific prison where inmates, especially high-profile persons, are being held for security reasons.
He said even judges who sentence offenders do not necessarily know the specific prison where they are sent.
“If you want to visit her, you can write to the Prisons Service. They will talk to her, and if she is interested in you coming, she will let you come,” Mr. Muntaka stated.
According to him, disclosing the location of high-profile inmates could put their lives at risk, adding that some developed countries also keep such information confidential for security purposes.
His comments come amid public speculation over the whereabouts of Ms. Tamakloe Attionu following reports that she had returned to Ghana to begin serving her prison sentence.

The Western Regional Commander of the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS), ACFO I Cecil Addo, has completed a familiarization tour of major corporate and industrial institutions across the Western Region to strengthen partnerships and enhance fire safety preparedness.
The tour covered key organizations including the Bank of Ghana, GOIL PLC, Ghanstock, Western Terminals, Zen Terminal, Keda Ceramics, Takoradi International Company (TICO), Volta River Authority (VRA), Harlequin Oil and Gas, and Western Serene Atlantic Hotel.
During the engagements, the Regional Commander encouraged management of the institutions to prioritize proactive fire prevention measures by incorporating strict safety protocols into their daily operations.
Discussions also focused on improving fire readiness and strengthening collaboration between GNFS and the corporate sector.
As part of the initiative, GNFS presented firefighting equipment, including Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Dry Chemical Powder (DCP) extinguishers, as well as Fire Extinguishing Balls, to support workplace safety.
The institutions expressed appreciation for the outreach and pledged to support regular safety audits, joint emergency drills, and potential Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) partnerships with the Service.
