Veteran gospel musician Amy Newman has recently opened up about a profoundly personal chapter in her life that intertwines motherhood, ministry, and the lessons learned along the way.

Newman disclosed this during an inspiring gathering titled "A Convergence of Mothers" at the luxurious La Palm Royal Beach Hotel in Accra.

She urged fellow mothers, especially those entrenched in ministry, to prioritise their children, cautioning against the temptation to neglect them under the guise of serving God.

In her heartfelt speech, Amy Newman reminisced about her early years in ministry, candidly recalling how she entrusted the care of her eight children to maids as she embarked on extensive travels to deliver sermons and perform at gospel events.

“In raising my children, I often prayed, ‘God, you know I don’t have anyone to guide me. Who will teach me how to nurture these wonderful souls?. I tell you today, no matter what, take your children along."

“My children suffered because I thought I was fulfilling God’s work. If you’re here doing God’s work, remember that your children are an intrinsic part of that calling. Even if you’re performing on stage, bring them with you. It’s not about seeking attention… My grave mistake was leaving them behind. They had the talent, but I failed to nurture it.

"God showed me the errors I made in raising my children… I know that had I not repented, I would have faced consequences for my choices. If you’re a mother, ensure your children are by your side in all that you do. I carry no shame in sharing this revelation."

Amy Newman praises her daughter

Despite her regrets, Amy Newman expressed immense pride in the accomplishments of her children.

She was particularly full of praise for her daughter Hannah Newman, who has become one of the famous lifestyle influencers in Ghana.

“God blessed me with eight remarkable children, and to Him be the glory, they are all well-educated and thriving in their respective paths. My daughter Hannah, a talented content creator, has taken after me in many ways, though her unique style can sometimes leave me in shock."

"I often find myself saying, ‘Oh, my God! Help me,’ when I see her bold fashion choices. But I believe wholeheartedly that God's hand is upon her, guiding her toward fulfilling her divine purpose in ministry before Christ returns."
