Father Fabrice Seka in the World of Entertainment

Father Fabrice Seka - Kengran is a priest of the Diocese of kumbo, currently working precisely at Ako Parish. He is a well full of talents in many areas - especially in the music domain wherein he is a singer, a song writer, an organist/guitarist. The word of God can be passed through various ways and he uses music to do so very effectively. Generally, his songs and other things he does,  have been noted as always being very profound - theologically rich in content and very deep in meaning - such that they easily lead one to contemplate the One and undivided Trinity.  This added to the fact that he operates by the scriptural verse drawn from luke 5:4 "put out into the deep" - duc in Altum; He has been nicknamed by his peers and friends "the deep."

Fr. Fabrice has not just jumped into music as most people often do when just trying out things in life. Most of us who watched him grew as a boy around observe that it is an inborn talent - because he often carried his guitar around and he formed a great Acapella group in his secondary school days. He started writing songs when he was at the High Section of Saint Aloysius minor Seminary Kitiwum. Today many of his songs are rendered in churches in and out of Cameroon. I can't but think of "A weary and thirsty soul", " Alleluia, Acclaim the Word of God", "Go tell it on the mountains".... and you can name a lot more. He has released two great Albums of 8 tracks and 1 track music entitled "Sempiternal Glory" and "Peace in our Land." Sempiternal is a word used by a great theologian, St. Thomas Aquinas and which originates from the Latin Background and means "everlasting glory - glory for evermore." In his Album Sempiternal glory you find songs like:

Sempiternal Glory itself

Receive Our gifts and bless us Lord

Magnificat Anima Mea Dominum  (the Magnificat)

Bonine dze Fe Nyuy Taatah - the song of joy of the angels i.e Gloria in lamnso

Dear Lord of Love - a soul searching song dedicated for weddings and couples

Hosanna to the Son of David - a song not to let palm Sunday pass by without rendering it.

Behold we in his Holy House - an Entrance song

And lastly, Alleluia Acclaim the Word of God.
