“Feast Of Worship” is a gospel musical concert designed to give credence to the importance of “praise and worship in the life of a Christian”.

Speaking at the launch, Nana Oduro Darko who happens to be the groups president mentioned that, patrons should expect testimonies and prepare their hearts for the event. “This year, it’s going to be special. It’s all about the testimonies and the motive of the people coming. You just don’t come to Feast Of Worship. You need to prepare yourself and during the preparations we have the hand of God visiting us.

“It has been great sometimes, but extremely challenging at some point too. In all we want to thank God for his mercy for the past 5 years and all the people he brought on our way to keep this programme vibrant,”.

“My prayer for the next 5 years is for the Lord to grant us all the strength we need to keep pushing this mandate he has given us,” he said.

“Feast Of Worship”, as it is called, has been our way of thanking and praising God with our patrons, and this year’s will not be any different.

For all who are regular patrons and all who have never patronized, we welcome you all to this year’s “Feast Of Worship”. Nana Oduro added.

This year’s concert which is themed “CHAZAQ” ‘Be Courageous’ (Josh 1:6), would be supported by award winning Ghanaian gospel artiste Mabel Okyere, Ps. N.Y Ghartey, Ps. Justice Opare, City of God Choir, and Mass Theater.
