Holikeys Music Ministry is a non-denominational music group that was formed in 2017, by a group of youth who want to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ through music. Mononymously known as Holikeys, The group was officially launched on 31st July, 2018 at Grace Assemblies of God Church, Zebilla. Holikeys is based in Zebilla in the Upper East Region of Ghana. The ministry operates in the Upper East Region but have honored invitations to programs even outside the region.
Leadership and Ministry
It’s so interesting to discover that this ministry runs under a simple structure of leadership: just a Patron (Rev. Dr. Asuure Daniel and an Administrator (Ayembilla Jesse). This is to curb the situation of others seeing themselves as superiors, which results in unhealthy comparison and low productivity.
Holikeys currently has and will always have 20 members comprising of singers and instrumentalists until there is a reform. This music ministry is not open to new membership entry, just replacement. The fewer number will enable swift decision making and proper enforcement of those decisions.
Mission and Vision
Mission
Aside using music as a platform to share the gospel of Jesus Christ, the ministry also has other subsidiary missions.
