On this Good Friday, April 18 2025, the First Love Center in East Legon, Accra, will come alive with the sounds of worship as Harvest Praise 2025 takes center stage.

With a stellar lineup featuring ACP Kofi Sarpong, Joe Mettle, the Greater Love Choir, Harvest Gospel Choir, Harvest Theatre, and Joyful Way Incorporated, this year’s event promises an unforgettable evening of praise, reflection, and spiritual renewal.
A Rich Tradition Continues
Since its launch in 1998, Harvest Praise has grown into a cornerstone of Ghana’s gospel scene, held annually on Good Friday to honor the sacrifice of Jesus Christ through music and drama. This year’s gathering at the First Love Center upholds that legacy, offering a space for believers to unite in worship during one of the most significant moments of the Christian calendar. While there’s no HP Kids program this time around—shifting the focus to a singular, all-ages experience. The event’s core mission of inspiration and evangelism shines brighter than ever.
