Professor Samuel Nortey, the 1st Vice Connectional Chairman of the Association of Methodist Church Choirs (GHAMECC -Ghana) and a lecturer at the KNUST, has hailed the success of "The Robe Must Go To Town," an evangelism initiative launched in November 2022 by the Kumasi Diocese of the Methodist Church Choir, saying the program is exceeding expectations.
Professor Nortey, a lead founder of the program, shared his enthusiasm while speaking at an edition of the program hosted by the Pankrono Circuit in Mamponteng.
Professor Nortey emphasized that the initiative's success stems from its innovative approach to reaching individuals outside of traditional church settings. "The Robe Must Go To Town' was created during my tenure as Chairman for the Kumasi Diocese of the Methodist Choir." Professor Nortey recounted, adding that, "It has been remarkable to see it attract not only the characters, but also lay executives, other church members and even Reverend Ministers.
According to him, the program has become a means of reaching people that would not normally attend church services." "The Robe Must Go To Town" effectively transitions traditional revivals into community engagement, actively seeking to connect with the public.
