Ransomed Ministries to commemorate 10th anniversary with ‘Total Worship’
Mr Attiemoh addressing the participants
An extraordinarily attractive evangelism laden with gospel music and drama dubbed ‘Total Worship’ has been scheduled for September 10 at the Jesus Temple of the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC), Koforidua.
The event with the theme, ‘Jesus Experience’ is the tenth of its kind being organised by Ransomed Ministries, a Christian non-governmental group made up of young devoted Christian ladies and gentlemen dedicated to pointing non-Christians to the Cross of Jesus Christ and encourage believers to have a deeper and closer walk with the Almighty God.
Launching the programme that coincided with the 10th anniversary of the group at the ICGC, over the weekend, the President of Ransomed Ministries, Mr Divine Attiemoh said the group’s aim was to propagate the gospel of Christ and pursue social causes which emphasises the love of Jesus Christ through the medium of music and theatre.
“The group uses gospel music, drama and biblical education to reach out to people especially non-believers to accept Christ as their saviour” he emphasised.
Mr Atiemo said the group, after a careful examination of current trends and how technology has taken every facet of life, decided to rely on gospel music and drama which the youth are fond of nowadays.
According to him, the death of Jesus Christ on the cross many years ago to save mankind was well-known but had not been fully understood and appreciated especially by the youth who are familiar to all sorts of music, especially those composed with words that do not conform to the culture of the society and especially Christianity.
Mr Atiemo said it was in that respect that his outfit had decided to rebrand music in the Christian vein and other forms of drama to support the preaching of the gospel.
He called on all Christians as well as church leaders to have a good plan to entertain and keep the youth in church.
“There are no Christian entertainment centres where the youth can go to refresh their minds and to receive inspiration and motivation from the word of God apart from the routine church service,” he said.
Mr Attiemoh also called on the mayors and city planners to consider and involve the youth in everything concerning the city’s planning and its organisation because it is their time.
He appealed to the youth to shun areas that would lead them into trouble, but rather be at the event to meet Jesus Christ in a different way through music.
He said the programme was expected to be one of the largest Christian gatherings at Koforidua in recent times.
Efe Grace, a renowned gospel musician who is part of the group demonstrated through gospel music the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and called on all to accept Him.
She said this year’s programme was going to be different from all others because it has coincided with the tenth anniversary of the group and therefore appealed to the youth to attend in their numbers to worship and give thanks to God because that is the way and medium through which “we reach our Maker’s throne.”

Ahyiresu and Abofrem, two quiet communities in the Atwima Mponua District, have been shaken to the core by a chilling midnight drama that reads like a nightmare.
A pastor and a young mother stand accused of attempting to bury a five‑month‑old baby girl alive, a crime that has ignited outrage and disbelief across the township.
According to police, Apostle Richmond Akwasi Frimpong, 36, Head Pastor of the Anointed Grace Prayer Ministry at Kuffour Camp, conspired with his uncle Emmanuel Appiah, 53, and the child’s mother, 23‑year‑old Beatrice Agyapomaa, to dispose of the infant, Anaya Achiaa, under the cover of darkness.
A fourth suspect, Emmanuel Donkor, remains on the run.
The suspects were caught near a refuse dump around 10 pm on April 9, 2026, after a vigilant resident, Akwasi Twezor, noticed their suspicious movements.
When confronted, they claimed the child was already dead and had palace approval for burial. But Twezor’s instincts proved right—the baby was still alive, gasping faintly for breath.
Chief Linguist, Nana Yaw Badu, later confirmed that Frimpong had misled him earlier in the evening, securing permission for burial by falsely declaring the child dead.
The infant was rushed to the Abofrem Clinic, where she is now responding well to treatment. Police described her as “very beautiful.”
Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Evelyn Yitamkey, Commander of DOVVSU in Bibiani, confirmed that the suspects have been provisionally charged.
Frimpong faces attempted murder and conspiracy charges, while Agyapomaa and Appiah are charged with conspiracy and abetment.
They were remanded by the Bibiani Circuit Court, presided over by Judge Frank Asiedu Nimako, to assist investigations.
The docket has been forwarded to the Attorney General’s Department for advice, ASP Yitamkey indicated.
The attempted crime has provoked fury among residents, many suspecting ritual motives aimed at bolstering the pastor’s influence.
Crowds attempted to attack the suspects outside court, but police intervention prevented mob justice.
The Assembly Member for Ahyiresu, Yusuf Suleiman, has assured residents that justice will be pursued swiftly.

The forecourt of the African University of Communications and Business (AUCB) in Accra came alive on Friday with colour, creativity and innovation, as Level 300 students transformed the space into a lively exhibition of ideas.
Under the theme “Building meaningful brands beyond the logo,” the students invited patrons into a world where ordinary products were reimagined through storytelling, design and purpose.
From scented candles to innovative food concepts, each stand told a unique story, one that went beyond aesthetics to capture identity, value and human connection.
For many of the students, the event was more than just an academic exercise; it was a moment to dream out loud.
Guided by their lecturer, Peter Wonders, they explored what it truly means to build a brand in today’s competitive world where trust, consistency and experience matter just as much as logos and slogans.
Chairman of the occasion, Nana Kum Gyata VI, in his remarks said a brand is what people say about you when you are not present.
At the end of the presentations, awards were presented to deserving groups with Vida Nyaneba emerging as the overall best branding student.
