Beauty Queens Storm Church

Rebecca Asamoah, winner of Miss Africa Continent, was in church on Sunday for a special ceremony to give thanks to God for how far she has come and also for winning the 2016 edition of Miss Africa Continent in South Africa.

The 24-year-old was joined by Miss Ghana 2015, Antoinette Delali Kemavor, Miss Ghana first runner-up, Afua Asieduwaa Akrofi, Miss Ghana team headed by Inna Patty, and her family at the Pure Fire Church located off the GIMPA-Achimota road.

Pastor (Dr) Enoch Aminu prayed for the queens and the team and asked for God's grace on Delali and Afua who will also be representing Ghana at Miss World & Miss ECOWAS events respectively.

Rebecca, who is also Miss Ghana 2015 second runner-up, made Ghana proud after beating 11 finalists drawn from an original list of 40 contestants from across the continent at the inaugural Miss Africa Continent pageant at Johannesburg's Gold Reef City casino on Saturday, April 30.

She is the first woman in history to be crowned Miss Africa Continent ahead of Zambian contestant, Michelo Malambo and South Africa's Jemimah Kandimiri who placed second and third respectively.

She returned home last week Wednesday morning and was welcomed by the Deputy Minister of Tourism, Culture & Creative Arts.

She hopes to use the crown to influence society positively.
