The maiden edition of the Africa Gospel Awards Festival (AGAFEST) will be launched on Saturday, July 7 at the Holiday Inn Hotel in Accra at 5pm.

The first ever biggest gospel awards event in Africa will recognize and celebrate talents and hardworking gospel acts across Africa.

According to organizers of the event, over the years, there have been several gospel players who have been contributing to the growth of the gospel fraternity and the kingdom of God; hardworking and talented gospel musicians and Ministers of the Word whose efforts need to be recognized and appreciated to serve as a source of motivation for them.

“These gospel acts seem to have either been sidelined or there is little effort being done to celebrate them. This is why AGAFEST has been set up with a credible board to ensure that the living is honored and also help to inspire more gospel talents to be unearthed. Therefore, Africa Gospel Group Incorporated based in the United States and its partners in Africa – organizers of AGAFEST- find it very imperative that we celebrate and acknowledge the excellence of gospel talents”.

AGAFEST is to create the platform for gospel players to be suitably rewarded for their labour and love for the Kingdom of God.

It seeks to reward integrity, hard work and excellence of gospel acts, also driven towards soul winning and empowering Christians to proclaim the gospel globally.
