Dubbed, “ Celebrating the Salvation of the Lord”, this year’s edition will also host award winning gospel artiste, Joe Mettle, Jojo Arhin and the host, Maranatha Students and Associates Fellowship (MASAF) choir. Hiplife artiste turned preacher, Lord Kenya, will also be present to minister the word.

The fourth in series, Soteria is a greek word which means Salvation. It began in 2010 as a prayer summit. Soteria 2016, however, is being held as a concert to reach out to millions of people through music.

Organised by MASAF under the auspices of Maranatha Evangelistic Ministries, Soteria has hosted seasoned singers like OJ, Anita Afriyie, Akesse Brempong, Jojo Arhin and Brother Sammy in previous editions.

In an interview with Showbiz last Friday, Daniel Gyimah Asante, the chairman of Soteria 2016 planning committee said,  “We want to offer the lost and hopeless the opportunity to receive Christ, therefore, we are staging this year’s Soteria as a gospel concert to propagate the salvation message of Jesus through music.”

Daughters of Glorious Jesus is made up of Cynthia Appiadu (lead singer), Edna Sarpong and Monica Owusu Ansah. Their debut album, Anwanwa do, was released in the 1990 and since then, they have won awards through a number of hit songs and albums. Some of their songs, Mebo wo din daa, Edin no, Asomdwe hene, Bebree are what patrons expect to sing and dance along to when they mount the stage.
