More than 200 worshippers, gospel music lovers, ministers and creatives from across Europe gathered in Hamburg for Daniel Jeddman’s August Praise Project – The Hand of God, a powerful live album recording experience that brought together people from Germany, Apostle Heidi & Mr. Björn from the Netherlands and surrounding European communities.
Hosted by Ghanaian-born, Germany-based gospel artist, prophet and author Daniel Jeddman, the gathering created an intense atmosphere of worship, praise and spiritual celebration as attendees joined together to glorify God through music and ministry.
From Düsseldorf, the Shekinah Choir and other worshippers travelled to Hamburg to support the project, while guests from several German cities and the Netherlands also made the journey. The strong turnout reflected the growing reach of August Praise beyond Hamburg and its growing place within the European gospel community.
The live recording featured powerful performances from Daniel Jeddman alongside a remarkable line-up of gospel ministers and musicians, including Queen Judith, Seth Boakye, Michael Owusu, Betty Paha, K Frank, Shekinah Choir, Gabby McKeown, Nana Pee, Collins Amankwah, Niz Marceline and Danny Kay, among others.
For Jeddman, the event was more than a concert. It was a deliberate expression of faith and a platform to document what he describes as the manifestation of “The Hand of God.” The charged atmosphere, collective worship and passionate participation of the congregation created a memorable experience that will now live on through the forthcoming album.
“The Hand of God” live album is expected to introduce audiences around the world to the songs and moments captured during the recording. The project is expected to be released officially on YouTube and other digital platforms, giving those who could not attend the opportunity to experience the worship and testimonies from the event.
Daniel Jeddman has spent years building a gospel music and ministry presence from Germany, connecting African gospel culture with audiences across Europe. Earlier profiles described him as an international praise and worship leader, songwriter, arranger, teacher and prophet, while his music catalogue includes projects such as Favour, Wo’ara (Album), Nyame and Confidence (Live).
His continued growth has also attracted significant industry recognition. In 2025, Jeddman was reported to have won Male Artiste of the Year – Europe at the Contemporary Gospel Music Awards. In 2026, he earned four Ghana Music Awards Europe nominations: Best Diaspora Artist of the Year, Best Diaspora Gospel Artist of the Year, Best Diaspora Gospel Song of the Year for “Nyame”, and Best Diaspora Male Vocalist of the Year.
August Praise itself has continued to develop as a major worship gathering in Hamburg. Previous coverage has described the event as a growing Christian gathering attracting believers from Germany and beyond, with Jeddman serving as host and minister.
The 2026 edition also received support from respected men and women of God, including Bishop Collins Adu-Boahene and Reverend Mrs. Gifty Adu-Boahene, as well as Pastor Desire of House of Love Ministries, Apostle William Nelson of Action Chapel, Pastor Charles of Calvary Believers Church and other ministers who stood behind the project. Special appreciation also goes to the musicians, technical team, singers, volunteers and everyone who contributed to making the recording possible.
Jeddman expressed gratitude to everyone who travelled, worshipped, supported and contributed to the success of the project. From Hamburg to Düsseldorf and other European communities, the gathering demonstrated the power of gospel music to bring people together across borders.
With the success of August Praise 2026, attention is already turning toward the future, with plans and expectations for an even bigger and brighter August Praise 2027 as God leads.
The Hand of God has indeed left its mark. What began as a live album recording became a powerful gathering of worshippers, ministers, musicians and believers united by one purpose: to give God all the glory.
