MTN Stands in Worship concert storms Kumasi, March 31
Obaapa Christy
The 2024 MTN Stands in Worship (SIW) concert will be staged at the Golden Beach Hotel in Kumasi on March 31 with the likes of Obaapa Christie, Gyasi, Kofi Sarpong and Bro Sammy set to thrill patrons.
Themed “Victory in the Blood: Celebrating Our Victory as a Nation,” it is expected to receive massive patronage in the garden city for the first time.
Most significantly, the event coincides with the Easter celebrations, adding a unique dimension to the commemoration.
Participants would have the opportunity to engage in worship and reflection, fostering a sense of unity and spiritual renewal within the community.
It would also serve as a platform for people to come together, regardless of their religious affiliations to celebrate the essence of Easter and its message of hope, redemption and love.
The SIW would also unite Christians and gospel music enthusiasts on a single platform, with a spirit-filled atmosphere amidst praises and worship.
Over the years, MTN had brought Ghanaians an amazing experience with the SIW, as the past events featured renowned ministers including Donnie McClurkin, William McDowell, Sinach, Micah Stampley, Nathaniel Bassey, Patrick Duncan, Joe Mettle and Elder Mireku.
