Gospel musician Akesse Brempong has revealed that he is not financially supported by his church for being a pastor.
According to him, he does not want to be a financial responsibility to his church whilst discharging his pastoral duties.
The musician said he relies on multiple streams of revenue aside from his music career to make ends meet.
"As at this point, my pastoring is voluntary. I am not on the payroll of the church but I enjoy it” he indicated.”
The ‘God is Working’ hitmaker told Amelley Djosu on Joy Prime’s Celeb Biz, that he is engaged in various revenue-generating activities and therefore prefers not to be compensated as a pastor.
In a two-layered justification for not being paid by his church, he said, "It is basically because I am into a lot of things that generate revenue and I don't want to be another mouth for my church to be feeding."
