INDIANA, Pa. — Gospel minister Mary Adenike released four new singles during a worship concert at Redeemed Christian Church of God’s Living Spring Community Church, her second major album launch since surviving a life-threatening automobile accident in 2024.
Heavy snowfall nearly disrupted Saturday’s event, forcing organizers to limit the performance to two of the four announced tracks. Mary, backed by her MA’Rock Praise choir, performed “Iba re Olorun Iyanu” and “Am gonna praise” before the congregation. Two additional singles—”There’s no one like Jehovah” and “Hallelujah sound of victory”—were introduced but not performed due to time constraints.
The musical presentation, which Mary calls “The Sound of Hallelujah,” marks a significant personal milestone. The minister survived a severe car crash in late 2024, just weeks after her October 12 debut concert at the same Indiana, Pennsylvania venue.
That first performance showcased five original tracks including “Iba re” (Your Reference), “You are an awesome God,” and “The King of Glory,” establishing Mary’s presence in the American gospel music scene.
“The purpose of the concert is to create an atmosphere where people can genuinely encounter God through music,” Mary told Bobnews24. “The goal is to inspire worship, strengthen faith, and remind listeners of the power and beauty of praise. I want attendees to leave refreshed, hopeful, and spiritually strengthened.”
The minister, known to her followers as Pastor Mary, characterized the event as an unforgettable worship experience that unites people through spiritual connection and collective praise.
Pastor Mary’s ministry has grown steadily since her arrival in the United States. When asked about her progress and future vision, she emphasized divine guidance. “By God’s grace, I’ve grown from a place of obedience and consistency, and every step has been God-led,” she said. “Looking ahead, my expectation is to reach more lives through gospel music, raise true worshippers, and use this ministry to bring healing, hope, and revival.”
Balancing motherhood with her expanding ministry requires spiritual discipline, Mary Adenike explained. “I cope by God’s grace. I draw strength from prayer, discipline, and divine help,” she said. “Being a mother keeps me grounded, and ministry keeps me aligned. God orders my seasons, and with His wisdom, I balance purpose, family, and calling.”
Saturday’s concert drew several RCCG pastors, including the host, Yomi Fajebe, Nathaniel Oyedele, Bello Afegbua, and Ayo Ajetomobi, who were accompanied by their wives.
The Living Spring Community Church in Indiana, Pennsylvania, serves as Pastor Mary Adenike’s primary performance venue and has become central to her musical ministry in the United States.
