The event forms part of GTA’s faith, culture and tourism promotion initiatives, and is expected to bring together gospel ministers, cultural leaders, creatives, and worshippers from across Ghana and the African diaspora for a night of thanksgiving, worship and spiritual reflection as the nation ushers in the new year.
Speaking ahead of the event, Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Tourism Authority, Maame Efua Houadjeto, described the gathering as a powerful expression of Ghana’s identity and values.
“Faith, culture, and heritage are pillars of Ghana’s identity and soft power. Ghana in Praise is an opportunity for the nation to come together, give thanks, and commit the year ahead into God’s hands,” she said.
The worship experience will feature a blend of international and local gospel artistes, including Mercy Chinwo, Ada Ehi and Steve Crown, alongside Ghanaian gospel powerhouses Nacee, Empress Gifty, Joyce Blessing and Noble Nketia, promising an uplifting night of praise and celebration.
The event will also host national and faith leaders who have played key roles in shaping Ghana’s spiritual and moral landscape. Among the invited dignitaries is Hon. Elvis Afriyie Ankrah, Presidential Envoy in charge of Interfaith and Ecumenical Bodies, whose presence is expected to provide spiritual encouragement and national inspiration.
According to the Ghana Tourism Authority, Ghana in Praise is designed not only as a worship gathering but also as a strategic platform to promote cultural diplomacy, strengthen national cohesion, and enhance Ghana’s tourism appeal, particularly among the diaspora.
The Authority noted that the initiative aligns with its broader mission to position Ghana as a destination rich in history, creativity, faith and shared national values, while fostering unity and projecting the country’s soft power on the global stage.
