Daughters Blow Up Yankee Fans

The Ghanaian Christian community in Columbus Ohio City of the United States of America last weekend was treated to a night of gospel explosion by no other gospel group than the scintillating Daughters of Glorious Jesus.

At the invitation of Rev. Bismarck Osei-Akomeah, head pastor of the Jesus Power Assemblies of God church, the group which is on a European and American tour stopped over to dish the community to praise and worship songs like never before.

The show drew a cross-section of the Ghanaian community from different local churches in the fast growing mid-east US city and will remain the talk of the city in a long time.

Featuring Monica and Cynthia, the duo said they had to leave Edna, in Amsterdam because she was sick, hence her ability to make the trip, they however received perfect backing from the Power of Praise, resident group of the church which will also be releasing their debut album soon.

With Linda Nyarko of the Power of Praise stepping up to the duo, the Daughters of Glorious Jesus stomped the packed auditorium with gospel songs from all their albums which have been extremely successful.

Some of the notable tracks that compelled the audience to sing and dance all night long to the praise of the Almighty included ‘Tuu Boasi, ‘Mebo Nu Din Daa, ‘Sika Pen, ‘Yesu Mmo, ‘Oye Ohene’, ‘Eye Adom’, ‘Sweet Jesus’, and ‘Oniyen Adi Yie’ among a few.

The second half of the two-hour show was glorious and ecstatic bringing Ghanaians domiciled in Columbus reminiscences, and of course reflections with their creator.

In a brief exaltation after the show, Cynthia pointed out that they had decided to undertake this tour to promote their music and most especially fulfill a promise they made to the Lord when they lost their brother about a year ago.

During the course of the show the group gave out copies of the ‘Aseda’ album to everyone present. Rev. Akomeah on his part implored the audience to sow seeds in the lives of these rich-voiced sisters by supporting service to the Kingdom of God.

The group has since left the New York City to continue their tour which had already taken them to Holland and the United Kingdom.
