Minister MBA has released a new single titled “W’aseda” (My Thanks), a powerful song of gratitude to God for His miraculous healing. After being diagnosed with a life-threatening liver disease and seeking medical help at various hospitals, it was God’s intervention that brought complete healing to the gospel artist.

This personal experience inspired “W’aseda,” encouraging listeners to trust in God’s greatness and remain prayerful in difficult times.

The single comes in two versions—”W’aseda High Life” and “W’aseda Worship”—catering to different musical tastes but sharing the same message of thankfulness.

In addition to “W’aseda,” MBA’s seven-track EP includes “AYEYI NDWOM” featuring Harry Fiscian and “OHENE BEN” featuring Oheneba Clement, among others, all of which celebrate God’s providence and might.

Aside from his music, Minister MBA is also dedicated to his “Giving Back – Health Awareness and Advocacy” project, where he partners with health specialists to raise awareness about liver disease.

This initiative, influenced by his own healing, aims to reach people through outreach programmes in churches, fitness clubs, and marketplaces.

Additionally, MBA is preparing to launch the “Christ is for Peace” campaign to promote peace during Ghana’s upcoming elections, encouraging harmony before, during, and after the polls.

Minister Bernard Appiah is driven by a fervent passion to share the transformative message of Christ with others. Beyond his music ministry, he has embarked on a noble mission to reach the marginalized communities in the ghettos. With compassion and dedication, he seeks to:

– Rescue individuals trapped in drug addiction

– Guide them towards a path of redemption and restoration

– Introduce them to the liberating power of Jesus Christ

– And Empower them to embrace a new life of purpose and hope

Minister Bernard Appiah, known by his stage name MBA, is a Ghanaian gospel musician born in Cape Coast on April 9, 1995.

He developed a love for music from a young age, performing at family gatherings and church events.

Despite studying aviation at the Global School of Aviation, he followed his passion for music, becoming a worship leader.

His mentors include Elder Mireku, Uncle Ato, and Pastor Joe Beechem, whose ministries greatly influenced him.

This year (2024), MBA released his debut album, “M’aseda,” featuring collaborations with talented artists like Harry Fiscian and Oheneba Clement.
