Organisers of Women in Worship have announced a crack lineup for the 7th edition dubbed the Rehoboth Experience.
This is a comeback of the programme following a year’s break.
The much anticipated all-female minstrels’ night of worship, will this year parade Nigeria’s finest Mercy Chinwo and Ada Ehi teaming up with their Ghanaian counterparts.
Ghana’s gospel heavyweights, Empress Gifty and Diana Hamilton with able support from an all-female Team Eternity Choir, Efe Grace, JOA, Raphifia, and Achiaa will lead the gathering to the throne of worship.
The atmosphere in the heart of Accra, Ghana, will be filled with electrifying musical praise and worship at the Oil Dome, Royal House Chapel International on Sunday, September 22, 2024 at exactly 4pm.
Speaking to the Spectator, the brain behind the event, Georgina Nettey, said the Seventh Edition of the event by Genet Services, promises to provide a bigger and better experience for all of its patrons, and as the organising body, “we would love to entreat patrons/ guests of the event to come with heart of gratitude and with an expectant heart to encounter God and receive his blessings.”
According to her the experience this year would be unparalleled considering measures put in place for the 7th edition.
She announced a partnership with Equity Health Insurance aimed at contributing to credible research into finding a cure for cervical cancer.
As a result she revealed that awareness creation, screening and other programmes designed to help in the fight against cervical cancer had been lined up ahead of the main event.
Consequently she called on Corporate Ghana to come on board to support their quest to save humanity.

Ayisi teams up with Fameye for Highlife classic “Sika”
In a follow-up to his successful collaboration with Worlasi on “Everyday People,” Ayisi has once again partnered with prolific songwriter Fameye for a timeless highlife track titled “Sika,” which translates to “Money.”
This track is expected to make waves across Ghana and beyond, as it speaks to the universal pursuit of financial stability in a meaningful, melodious way.
Money, as Ayisi rightly points out, is a universal and never-ending topic of discussion. In “Sika,” both artists reflect on the role money plays in life and the lengths one must go to secure it.
Ayisi emphasizes a strong work ethic, noting that laziness will only lead to hunger and hardship. His message is clear: one must take action and pursue financial stability to navigate life successfully.
On the other hand, Fameye’s verse focuses on the idea of self-reliance when it comes to wealth. He highlights that becoming wealthy is something he must achieve on his own, without waiting for handouts or relying on others.
Fameye’s perspective complements Ayisi’s, creating a well-rounded narrative about ambition, responsibility, and financial independence.
“Sika,” produced by GroovyWrld, is deeply rooted in the classic highlife sound—a genre that has long been a cornerstone of Ghanaian music. The soulful melodies make it an instant classic that evokes a sense of nostalgia, while the contemporary twist keeps it fresh for today’s audience.
Ayisi, widely respected for his independent spirit and unique musical style, has typically preferred working alone, cultivating his own space in the industry. However, his recent collaborations signal a new chapter in his career, one that is more collaborative and expansive.
Through these collaborations, Ayisi is not only broadening his creative horizons but also offering his fans new and exciting musical experiences.
With “Sika,” Ayisi and Fameye remind us that while money may not be everything, the drive to earn and sustain oneself is essential to success.
