Gospel singer, Celestine Donor has launched the eleventh edition of her annual Celestial Praiz concert scheduled to come off at the Dominion Sanctuary of Victory Bible Church in Awoshie, Accra on Sunday, March 9.

This year's edition themed, “I do a new thing” is inspired by the Isaiah 43:19 which states, “Behold, l am doing a new thing: now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert”.

Speaking at the media launch held at Tang Palace Hotel in Accra on Thursday, February 6, Celestine Donkor outlined a number of activities prior to the main event, which she said was focused on re-aligning and redirecting Celestial Praiz to empower church music.

The preceding events are Intimate Worship Time with Singers were Celestine Donkor will visit and perform with some church choirs.

“Through this initiative, some choir groups will get the opportunity to minister at the event in March,” she said.

The gospel minstrel has also introduced 'Campus Gospel with Celestine Donkor', aimed at making the gospel attractive to young ones.

The first edition was held on January, 31, 2025 at the Crown and Glory School in Gbawe and Celestine says the main goal is to “catch them young”.

There will also be a Women’s Conference and according to Celestine, the events form part of the larger commitment of her team to bring more visibility to her brand for greater impact.
