Christ Embassy Nurtures Music Talents

Believers Love World Ministries, Christ Embassy Ghana, has announced its musical outreach programme, 'Shouts Of Victory', aimed at developing the youth in music and arts, career development and soul winning.

The 2017 edition of the annual event, fondly known as SOV, will bring together over 30 new musicians in a mentorship programme, including a one day career development training dubbed, 'My Call, My Career.'

The new musicians after the months of training and practice will be given the opportunity from Friday, October 20 to October 22 to perform alongside other international artistes at the SOV Concert in Accra.

Pastor Ernest Omoleme, Zonal Pastor, Christ Embassy, East, West and Central Africa Zone 5, disclosed that the church decided to come up with such an event four years ago to help nurture young music talents.

He stated that the youth have been gifted with talents that needed to be identified, developed and given the opportunity to showcase their talents alongside international artists.

“Apart the main artistes we have new members signing their own song. It is our responsibility to give them the platform to showcase their talents and encourage them to continue. When we succeed in this, we would have given the youth the foundation to develop and be independent,” he said.

Pastor Kwesi Minta, Chair of the 2017 SOV & Group Pastor Christ Embassy Tema, in his remarks mentioned that considering the gospel music talents that the church has produced, including Sinach, Frank Edwards, Eben and the South Africa gospel dynamo Martin Phike, who also graced the SOV stage in the previous editions, this year's event will be a success.

He said with insight from the first four years of quality music production, the committee is well-equipped to create even more opportunities for the youth in translating their talents into marketable brands.

“We are confident that our programmes can impact real changes in the lives of the youth: helping them to be able to create a niche for themselves in the music and art industry,” he added.

Ministering at SOV 2017 will be multiple awarding productions to equip and create even more opportunities for the youth in translating their talents into marketable brands.

“We are calling on all, especially our media friends, to partner us in presenting this good news to the people of Ghana,” he added.
