Dumelo And Mercy Asiedu Wow Fans In New York!!!

Ghananian movie stars John Dumelo and Mercy Asiedu captivated church goers with their presence when they received awards at the USA-African Gospel and Movie Achievement Awards Night held at the Apostolic Church International, the Bronx, last week.

There was pandemonium when word went around the filled-to- capacity church that the Gollywood stars were present to receive honors for excelling in their chosen careers. And indeed, matters got uncontrollable when they were ushered into the auditorium with Fred Nuamah, CEO of Gollywood Ghana and Jerry Kwabena Kansis, organizer of the programe.

The auditorium turned upside down with execitment as the movie stars were mobbed. So high were emotions that a lady named Nana Ama Yeboah openly hugged Dumelo and expressed a desire to marry him. " John I love you, till death do us part. I want you to be my future husband. You have all the qualities that I want my husband to possess", she vowed amidst yells from the auditorium.It was not known if Dumelo will accept the offer.

The function was a collaborative effort of the church, the Culture Ambassadors Foundation and the African Rebranding Consortium's CEO Mr Jerry Kwabena Kansis.

In a sermon, Rev Samuel Akufo, head pastor of the church advised the stars to be God fearing, honest, and show respect to their management and fans. He said without them, they could not climb the ladder of success. " You should eschew pride and if you continue to be humble and hard-working as you have started, the Good Lord will let you win more feathers in your cap", he stated.

The CEO of the African Rebranding Consortium Mr Jerry Kwabena Kansis praised Rev Samuel Akufo ,the congregation and all those who helped to ensure that the program was a successful event.

After receiving the award Dumelo expressed his gratitude to the Rev. Akufo, Messrs Nuamah and Kansis and the congregation for the honor. " We are happy to see our own people meeting us with such enthusiasm and we promise you all that, we will do all what we can to hold the mantle high".

"All that we need from you is your prayers,love,support , encouragement and patronizing our movies so that we too will have a sense of belonging ,since without you all ,some of us would not have been this far in life" Mr Dumelo noted.

Elder Kenneth Appiah of the Soul Winners Gospel Fame electrified the church with some classic tunes.
