Rev. Abraham Lamptey, General Overseer of Believers House of Worship International, believes that charging admission for worship services is appropriate.
In an interview with Graphic Showbiz, the esteemed man of God stated that since God is priceless, these platforms shouldn’t be used as a means of profiting from his yearly event, Art of Worship.

“It doesn’t matter the artiste billed on the programme. Whether an A-list Gospel act or not, patrons should not pay to attend the event. I don’t have a problem with others charging fees, but if the event is meant to encounter God for all the wonderful things He has done for us, then I think admission should be free.
“As I said, you cannot take money if the event is meant to encounter God. I cannot put any price tag on God. Therefore, asking patrons to pay will be wrong. I have done my Art of Worship for 16 years and it is always free,” he said.
The remarks made by Rev. Lamptey will undoubtedly cause a stir in the community, especially considering that gospel musicians have been bemoaning the lack of support for their performances.
