Presents Gospel Reggae Concert in VA

In Northern Virginia, U.S.A, history is being made as people from different nations, continents , cultures and Churches gather for what has come to be known as the annual independence Gospel Gospel concert .

In 2008 , with the support of Pastor Yaw Nkansah at the Ebenezer Presbyterian Church in Woodbridge, Heritage Village Project put together the first gospel concert featuring local gospel artists and groups like Min. CD Porter, Vivian Ofori, Esther Quartey, Glorious Oaks of Righteousness, Praising Showers (Royal House Chapel), Ebenezer Presby Singing Band, as well as dance, mime , step , drum groups and churches from D.C, Maryland & Virginia area, with a powerful and life transforming message from Bishop Eugene V. Reeves , Senior Pastor Of New Life Anointed ministries International. This occasion was also used as an opportunity to bridge the gap between the African and African American community.

Last year, 2009 went to another dimension when youth from many different churches (Apostolic, Springs Gate Chapel, Presbyterian Church, Word Harvest etc) , broke denominational barriers and joined together to do a combined dance to “Yeohwe” an original choreography by Bernard Akoi Jackson , Dorcas otabil and Kojjo Opoku – Reeves.. With an outstanding gift of handling ceremonies, the master of ceremony Edmund Konadu Addae (Chivoo) thrilled the crowd as he introduced Ken Appiah, Okyerema Asante , Cd Porter , Silent Praise Mime Ministry, Orators Seth Opoku, Makaila Davenport and Alice Gyamfi (MLK Oratorical contest finalists). The concert ended with many youth giving and rededicating their lives to Christ.
