Perez Musik is a Ghanaian Gospel musician
For Ghanaian gospel singer Perez Musik, hunger is one of the biggest reasons many young people are struggling to worship God today.
Speaking on Hitz FM’s Daybreak Hitz show on October 27, 2025, the ‘Hewale Lala’ hitmaker said the economic hardships faced by youth have taken a toll on their spiritual lives.
“One thing that’s making it difficult for them to worship is hunger,” he said.
When asked by the host if churches have the capacity to alleviate poverty among their members, Perez Musik said he believes they can, if they choose to.

According to him, churches have the resources and influence to make a real difference in the lives of their congregants through economic empowerment and social support initiatives.
He pointed out that many secondary schools in Ghana were originally established by churches that, at the time, had far fewer resources than many of today’s well-funded congregations.
“I believe the church can if the church wants to, because the church has done it before. Most of the secondary schools you see in this country are owned by churches that didn’t even have the amount of access, wealth, and capacity that some of the churches have now. I know some churches have powerful charity programs and scholarships they give to people,” he stated.
