Voice of Pentecost holds listening party

The music ministry of the Church of Pentecost, known as Voice of Pentecost (VOP) has organised a music listening party.

The event held on Friday, March 14, in Accra brought together some influential radio, TV presenters and other industry players.

The event showcased carefully selected tracks from the Voice of Pentecost, offering these industry experts an opportunity to listen, share their insights, and provide valuable feedback.

This was made possible through a collaborative effort between Pent Media Centre and The Voice of Pentecost.

In all 17 songs were played for the key industry players to listen to, out of which they made suggestions on which ones to release ahead of the album.

Also, they made suggestions as to which ones should make the cut for the album.

Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, the General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, expressed his appreciation, adding that the church was blessed with songs for many years.

For this reason, they decided to put in place mechanisms to ensure their songs make waves throughout the country and beyond.

Against this backdrop, they brought together the industry people for their input to help carry the gospel through music.
