Multiple award-winning gospel minister and man of God, Eric Jeshrun, is set to return with his highly anticipated annual worship experience, ‘August Worship,’ after a four-year break.

The event, known for drawing thousands of worshippers into an atmosphere of praise and prayer, was put on hold due to the minister’s extensive ministry work abroad. 

The organisers say the comeback will be a more powerful and spirit-filled encounter.

This year’s edition is slated for Sunday, August 30, at the Cedar Mountain Chapel, Assemblies of God.

Speaking to The Spectator, Eric Jeshrun revealed a stellar line-up of ministers who will be joining him on stage. They include worship collective Team Eternity Ghana, Pastor Isaiah Fosu-Kwakye, Petra Yetunde Odubayo, and Pastor Noble G.Patrons should also expect ministrations from gospel powerhouses Joe Mettle and Kofi Owusu Peprah, with other amazing surprises promised for the night.

“We’re coming with an expectation. God has been speaking to us about this season, and ‘August Worship’ is about going deeper in His presence,” Eric Jeshrun said.

In a significant addition to this year’s programme, a dedicated session will be devoted to praying for Ghana.

The minister noted that the country’s ongoing galamsey menace will be a key prayer focus, as believers intercede for the land, its resources, and future generations.

“I’m urging all believers to come with their friends and family. This is not just a concert. It’s a time to seek God’s face for our nation,” he said.

Ahead of ‘August Worship,’ the Much Fruit Conference will run from August 23 at Faith Gatherings Worldwide Church. The week-long spiritual conference is designed to prepare hearts for the main worship night.

The conference will host an international line-up of guest ministers including, Pastor Dolapo Lawal (USA), Michael Oldfield, (USA), Godswill Oyor (Nigeria) and Stephen Obeng Amoako (Ghana).

According to Eric Jeshrun, the conference will feature teachings, prayer, and impartation sessions aimed at equipping believers for impact.

Charging the public ahead of both events, the award-winning minister urged attendees to come with an open and clean heart.

With worship, prayer, and the word lined up over a week, ‘August Worship’ and ‘Much Fruit Conference’ are expected to be one of the biggest gospel gatherings on the Christian calendar this August.

Ghanaian rapper Okyeame Kwame has called on former Praye members, Praye Tietia and Choirmaster, to return to the studio and give their fans a new album, saying music lovers have waited long enough for their comeback.

“We, the die-hard fans, have waited for too long,” Okyeame Kwame said on Sunday at the final funeral rites of the late actress Beverly Afaglo Baah, wife of Eugene Baah, popularly known as Choirmaster.

His appeal appeared to strike a chord with Praye Tietia, who hinted that the iconic hiplife group could be preparing for a comeback.

According to Praye Tietia, the group marked its 21st anniversary last year, and plans were underway to put things together as they commemorate their 22nd anniversary.

Praye, comprising Tietia, Choirmaster and Praye Tenten, became one of Ghana’s prominent hiplife groups after emerging from the maiden edition of the Nescafé African Revelation competition.

The group went on to win major awards and build a strong following with hit songs before the members eventually pursued separate careers.

The prospect of a reunion has therefore generated excitement among fans who have continued to cherish the group’s music.

Okyeame Kwame’s call for a new album, coupled with Tietia’s hint about plans for the group’s 22nd anniversary, could signal the beginning of a new chapter for Praye.

For many Ghanaian music lovers, a Praye comeback would not only be a reunion of three celebrated musicians but also a return to an era that helped shape the sound of Ghanaian hiplife.
