Award-winning Ghanaian gospel singer Esther Smith has confirmed her participation in this year’s edition of The Worshipper’s Heart, a major free worship gathering scheduled for Sunday, 15 November 2026, in Kumasi.

The event will take place at CCC Tech Ayigya in Kumasi, beginning at 3:00 p.m. It is organised by Adom Kiki Global Ministries and marks the fifth anniversary of The Worshipper’s Heart series. Entry is completely free. Alongside Esther Smith, the lineup features host Adom Kiki, Joe Mettle, Nana Ama McBrown, Kofi Owusu Peprah and Efe Grace.

In her post, Esther Smith invited the public with a warm message directed at residents of Kumasi: “KUMASI, GHANA! Are you ready? Join me this Sunday, 15th November, at CCC, Tech Ayigya, with our brother Adom Kiki and other ministers as we worship our Maker and give Him all the glory.”

Official promotional materials highlight the theme of celebration under the banner “Celebrating 5 Years of Glory” and describe the gathering as an opportunity for collective worship and thanksgiving.

About the Artist

Esther Smith remains one of the most recognisable voices in Ghanaian gospel music. Born in Suame, Kumasi, in the early 1970s, she began singing in the Tesano Methodist Church choir as a teenager. Her breakthrough came with the album Gye No Di in the early 2000s.

That project earned her multiple Ghana Music Awards, including Gospel Album of the Year, Gospel Artiste of the Year and Best Female Vocal Performance in 2003. Subsequent releases such as “Onyame Boafo”, “Som No Yie” and “Nipa”further cemented her status, producing enduring anthems that continue to feature in churches and on radio across the country.

After a period of relative absence from the local scene while based abroad, Smith has made a gradual return to live performances in Ghana in recent years. Her appearance at The Worshipper’s Heart forms part of that renewed visibility. Organisers note that this edition is the first time she will share the stage at the event with the current roster of ministers.

Adom Kiki, the host and driving force behind the series, has built The Worshipper’s Heart into an annual platform focused on intimate, Spirit-led worship rather than commercial spectacle. Previous editions have drawn consistent attendance in Kumasi, and the fifth-anniversary celebration is expected to attract a large crowd given the expanded lineup and free admission.

The presence of Joe Mettle, another established gospel figure known for both recorded work and powerful live ministry, adds further weight to the bill. Actress and media personality Nana Ama McBrown’s involvement is also likely to broaden interest beyond traditional gospel audiences.

The choice of venue, CCC Tech Ayigya, places the event in a familiar and accessible part of the city for many worshippers. Technical and logistical preparations appear well advanced, with promotional posters already circulating widely on social media and local media outlets.

Sponsors and media partners listed on the official artwork include a range of Ghanaian brands and broadcast platforms, indicating solid organisational support.

Public Expectations

For many attendees, the evening will represent more than a concert. Ghanaian gospel events of this nature often function as communal moments of prayer, testimony and corporate worship. Esther Smith’s catalogue of songs that emphasise faith, gratitude and divine faithfulness is expected to resonate strongly in that setting. Fans familiar with classics such as “Gye No Di,” “Som No Yie,” “Onyame Ye Nyame” and “Teamu Fre Jesus” will be hoping to hear some of those numbers performed live.

The timing of the event, mid-November, falls within a period when many churches and ministries schedule special programmes ahead of the festive season. Organisers have positioned The Worshipper’s Heart as a focused celebration of five years of consistent ministry rather than a one-off spectacle.

The free entry policy is intended to remove barriers and allow as many people as possible to participate.

As the date approaches, anticipation continues to build on social media. Esther Smith’s confirmation has been widely shared, with supporters expressing eagerness to experience her ministry in a live Kumasi setting once again.

The combination of veteran and contemporary voices on the same platform is being viewed as a strength of this year’s edition.

Those planning to attend are advised to arrive early given the expected turnout and the free-admission policy. The programme is scheduled to begin promptly at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, 15 November 2026, at CCC Tech Ayigya. For gospel music lovers in Kumasi and surrounding areas, the gathering offers a rare opportunity to experience several respected ministers in one afternoon of worship.

The Worshipper’s Heart 2026 stands as both a milestone for Adom Kiki’s ministry and a significant live appearance for Esther Smith as she continues her engagement with audiences in Ghana.
