Ghanaian Church Empowers Youth Through Music

GRAND PRAIRIE, TEX. – The Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) Ghanaian Seventh-day Adventist Church in Grand Prairie, Tex., experienced a season of spiritual renewal and youth empowerment in fall 2025 through two significant initiatives that highlighted music, worship and decisive faith.

On Oct. 18, 2025, the church marked a major milestone with the inauguration and robe dedication of its newly formed DFW Ghanaian Youth Choir. Under the theme “Inaugural Praise 2025,” 40 robed youth led a vibrant Sabbath worship service that formally launched the choir’s music ministry. The service blended traditional hymns, contemporary praise and Ghanaian choral pieces, drawing heartfelt responses from both the in-person congregation and online viewers.

Host pastor Emmanuel Kumah challenged the youth to view their musical gifts as tools for evangelism and mission, while guest speaker Nathanael Adjei-Kyeremeh urged them to ensure that their lives preached the same Gospel as their songs. Following prayers of dedication, the church committed the 40-member choir to ongoing service, expressing hope that their voices would strengthen faith, inspire worship and extend Gospel witness across the Dallas–Fort Worth community.

Building on this momentum, the church hosted the Youth and Young Adult (YAYA) Summer Revival, Sept. 5-20, 2025. Meeting Wednesday through Sunday evenings, the revival was held under the theme “Time Value of Salvation: Time to Choose is Now.” The series called youth and young adults to respond to Christ with urgency, repentance and hope.

Hosted by Emmanuel Kumah, pastor of DFW Ghanaian church, the revival featured Christ-centered messages from Samuel Acheampong, Maxwell Frimpong, Emmanuel Amakye and Kings Forson Boachie Mensah. Each evening combined preaching, uplifting music, prayer and practical sessions addressing health, relationship coaching, career guidance and literature evangelism. Services were streamed through the church’s online platforms, allowing the message to reach viewers throughout the Dallas–Fort Worth area and beyond.

Participants shared testimonies of renewed commitment, deeper spiritual growth and a strengthened resolve to share the gospel in their homes, schools and communities. 

Together, the launch of the youth choir and the YAYA Summer Revival reflected the church’s intentional investment in its young people—equipping them to worship, witness and serve with purpose in this generation.
