Ghanaian gospel musician Isaiah Kwadwo Ampong, popularly known as Great Ampong has allegedly been suspended by the Seventh Day Adventist Church for going contrary to the tenets of the church.
Among other things, are performances at funerals and other events on Saturdays when he has to remember the sabbath day and keep it holy.
The suspension according to a Kumasi-based radio station, Angel FM comes after several weeks of investigation.
In a recent interview, the ‘Yehowa Kae Me’ hitmaker revealed that the SDA Church does not help its members, particularly musicians, adding that he has been a victim.
Great Ampong, in an interview with Okay FM said after all the sacrifices and contributions he made towards the growth of his church, they had not lifted a finger to support him.
The gospel musician indicated that he and other musicians in the Church have suffered similar ordeals.
“Don’t even talk about it [SDA church not helping its musicians]. I know how the church handles musicians. They don’t know anything like they are planning something for a musician, it has never been done. I’m not saying the church should help me. I have family and friends and God won’t let me be disgraced.
“I was thinking that since the church has a school and a university, and musicians like Mark Anim Wirenkyi, and Kyei Baffour even trained me, the church could even award a scholarship to the children of these personalities who have helped the church but that is not the case,” he stated.
Currently, Great Ampong is an ordained reverend minister in the Divine Word International Ministries, in the United States of America.
The ordination was done by Archbishop Kofi Adonteng Boateng in June 2024.
