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.

Award-winning Ghanaian musician, Michael Owusu Addo, affectionately called Sarkodie has described his annual event, Rapperholic concert as bigger than just a music event, highlighting its significant economic impact.
In a post after a successful Rapperholic edition in Kumasi, the rapper noted that the concert stimulates economic activity across Kumasi, Accra and the wider Ghanaian economy.
According to him, this is driven through tourism, hospitality, transportation, food, fashion, media, advertising, employment and the creative supply chain.
“The economic value of this concert extends far beyond ticket sales. It includes visitor spending, revenue for local businesses, temporary jobs created, suppliers paid and the future tourism and commercial opportunities generated by the event,” he stated.
Sarkodie called on government and the private sector to seize the opportunity to build an ecosystem where Ghanaian entertainment generates measurable economic value, supports businesses, creates jobs and attracts visitors.
“Let’s invest in our creative economy. The potential goes far beyond the stage,” he added.
