Praise Bonney to host Daughters of Glorious Jesus, Pastor Isaiah Kwakye at CAD Experience
Gospel minister Praise Bonney is set to host the fifth edition of the Closer & Deeper (CAD) Experience at the House of Faith Ministries on September 28 in Kumasi.
The event, themed Glory Overflow’, will take patrons to the throne room of grace and uplift the name of God.
Praise Bonney told The Spectator that this year’s edition features a powerful line-up of gospel ministers, headlined by the legendary Daughters of Glorious Jesus, whose timeless songs continue to inspire worshippers nationwide.
Joining them would be Efe Grace, Ps. Isaiah Fosu-Kwakye Jnr, Ps. Seth Justin Acquah, and Rev. Mrs Ivy Nsiah-Afriyie, each bringing their unique anointing and musical depth to the stage.
“The event is free to attend but attendees are encouraged to arrive early and come with open hearts as event is expected to draw souls to God through music,” he explained.
Since its inception in 2020, CAD Experience has grown into a vibrant movement of worship, prayer, and youth-led ministry, drawing believers, and gospel lovers from across Ghana.

The National Sports Authority (NSA) has warned that Sarkodie will not be allowed to host his Rapaholic concert on the football pitch of the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi.
Director-General of the NSA, Yaw Ampofo Ankrah, said the pitch is strictly reserved for football and other sports activities.
He warned that any unauthorized use of the field during the concert would attract serious penalties, including heavy compensation.
Mr. Ankrah explained that while the Baba Yara Stadium has been approved as the venue, Sarkodie’s stage and sound systems will be positioned behind the goalpost to protect the playing surface.
He said all measures have been put in place to ensure the pitch is not damaged.
He further disclosed that the NSA is in the process of acquiring pitch covers to make it easier to host non-sporting events without compromising the playing field.
The NSA boss also revealed that several churches and organizations had offered as much as GHS 300,000 to use the pitch, but the requests were rejected. According to him, protecting the grounds for domestic and international football is a top priority.
Mr. Ankrah stressed that although the Authority permits the use of stadium facilities for events, the football pitch itself cannot be used for performances or entertainment.
He concluded that if any condition is breached during Sarkodie’s concert, strict sanctions will follow.
