REDLIVE

A different kind of Friday night.

REDLIVE exists to provide a spiritually and morally healthier alternative — quality Christian entertainment through live performance, talk shows and interactive fun, while giving talented Christian entertainers a platform to show their gifts.

The problem

Nowhere good to go.

The Friday night scene in Accra, and in most cities in the world, is crowded with events that promote sinful and immoral activity. People looking for somewhere to wind down after a long week fall prey to it.

REDLIVE exists to provide a spiritually and morally healthier alternative — quality Christian entertainment through live performance, talk shows and interactive fun, while giving talented Christian entertainers a platform to show their gifts.

The strategy

Take over Friday night where people already are.

  1. 01

    Partner with existing lounges and similar venues by taking over their Friday nights.

  2. 02

    Programme the evening properly and market it across platforms, while the venue caters to the audience as its usual business.

  3. 03

    As a matter of principle, discourage the sale of alcohol on those nights.

A typical Red Friday

Doors at five. The DJ plays until the last person leaves.

  1. 5:00 PM

    Doors, and a gospel DJ

    A gospel DJ plays a well-put-together set as people trickle in at the close of the day. Food and beverage sales go on as usual.

  2. 6:30 PM

    The live band

    The programme escalates. A gospel live band takes the stage and performs a selected set.

  3. After the band

    The talk show

    Led by interesting personalities, working through engaging but blunt topics — marriage, finances, and more.

  4. Throughout

    Interludes

    Spoken word, skits, dance and stand-up comedy break up the talk show. Witnessing, shared experience and short exhortations are woven in, along with Spirit-led praise and worship.

  5. Past midnight

    Until the last person leaves

    The programme runs late. The gospel DJ plays on into the early hours, until the last person leaves.

The vision

To start a movement that will depopulate hell and populate heaven by turning lounges and spots into places of worship — across Accra, then Ghana, then Africa, then the world.

When talent discovers purpose, impact becomes inevitable.
