The well-attended programme also saw the host Pastor, George Ankamah (Accra Newtown District Minister) and Elder Samuel Amo Tobin (Dr. Wyatt Assembly Presiding Elder) in attendance.

It is aimed at gathering some Spirit-filled and seasoned Gospel singers to lead God’s flock to the altar using praise and worship to encounter and experience God.
