Cynthia Appiadu, a member of veteran gospel trio; Daughters of Glorious Jesus, has disclosed that all three members of the group remained virgins until they got married.
The veteran musician made the disclosure in an interview with Franky 5 on “This is Gospel” on Hitz FM.
The celebrated gospel group made up of Edna Sarpong, Monica Owusu Ansah and Cynthia Appiadu, has for many years treated Ghanaians to a number of great gospel hits such as ‘Mebo Wo Din Daa’, ‘Edin No’ and ‘Asomdwoe Hene’.
According to Cynthia Appiadu, the group, guided by Archbishop Akwasi Asare Bediako; their spiritual father, was so focused on music and as such, never dated any man and stayed as virgins until marriage.
“He taught us how to write and compose songs and also how to get songs as well because he knew how to do it very well and so, it was around that time that we realized what the Lord wanted us to do so we were focused,” she said.
The singer added that: “We were very lucky to have him as a spiritual father and we stayed with him until we completed school and got married. I didn’t know any man until I met my husband. I stood; in fact, all three of us stayed virgins until we got married.”
Narrating how the group came about, Cynthia Appiadu recalled how “...we were just singing and didn’t see any future in what we were doing. It was God who spoke to Archbishop Akwasi Asare Bediako. You know, at that time, the late Reverend Amoako was the associate pastor and so when we were even little girls, we used to go for fellowship but we were all members of the Assemblies of God Church at that time.”
“So, we used to go there as five girls but later on, three of the girls dropped, so it was only left with I and Edna. And Monica was also coming from TUC to Santaasi to fellowship and we were all in the same choir. So one day, Archbishop Akwasi Asare Bediako said 'I’ve seen a special gift in these girls so I need to talk to their parents'. And he was also a gifted musician. He was a singer turned pastor,” she added.
The singer narrated further that: “...he came to our parents and told them that the Lord had revealed the gift we have to him and so, he would like to help us. So the three of us were schooling and staying with him and that was how the whole thing started. So we officially started singing as 'Daughters' in the year 1989 but before then, we were just part of the choir, singing all over.”

I'm sure they haven't been able to satisfy their husbands all these years... Have you heard a white lady saying she wants to marry as a virgin before?? Stûp.id blacks!
We are proud of you. This is not to say that being a virgin before marriage is the only remedy for a successful marriage. You can destroy your own marriage if you do not work hard at it even after marrying as a virgin. But you girls have made christian living attractive to us all! Akristofo da mo ase pii, mo ay3 nhw3so pa ama y3n.
Why did you do that to yourselves? The one who broke your virginity was not a virgin too so what was the use waiting for him all that time? Mmmm just waiting for your turn maybe! At the moment you don't even know if he is good or bad cos you have nothing to compare to! hahahahaha!!
EVEN AFTER MARRIAGE YOU ARE STILL VIRGINS OR? WHO GIVES THE HECK ABT VIRGINITY?>? NANSINS
We need to hear some of these stories to encourage our young ones coming up. Our society is full of immorality, especially the young ones . When God wanted to send a savoir into this world, he did it through a VIRGIN. Our girls needs to keep themselves until after marriage. I see nothing wrong with her revelation.
IF ONLY YOU AE BEEN TRUTHFUL!
Being a virgin means nothing if you don't obey God's word. Many women carry being a virgin as a triumph card it is not. Preserving yourself before marriage is good but it is not a key to heavean.
The title and the story are so different. One sentence for the title and the rest is history. Anyway, how did she know they were all virgins? Did their husbands discuss them to another?
WHO REALLY CARES. AND MUST IT BE TOLD AFTERALL THAT ITS YOUR OWN METER AND WHETHER YOU ARE VIRGIN OR NOT DOES NOT GUARANTEE YOU A PLACE IN HEAVEN. PLS KEEP THIS TO YOURSELVES ITS TOO HOLIER THAN THOU. EVEN THE ***barred word*** IN THE BIBLE HAD FORGIVENESS.
