Alongside the outreach, the gospel star hosted a live praise and thanksgiving session, offering worship to God in celebration of His faithfulness over her life, family, and ministry.

Beyond her music, Tope Alabi has continually blazed trails in gospel ministry. Her recent hymnal project the first comprehensive hymnal collection of its kind in this generation, seeks to reconnect younger believers with the spiritual depth of hymns, through songs composed under divine inspiration.

Her creative excellence and spontaneous worship have birthed timeless projects, including the 16-track album “The Spirit of Light,” a powerful collaboration with photographer and singer TY Bello. The song “Logan Ti O De” from that album became a global anthem of hope and divine visitation. Her more recent 8-track album “Oluwa Ni” continues to testify of God’s mighty works and unending grace.

Tope Alabi and her husband, Soji Alabi, are the founders of the Mardebra Comforter Foundation, a faith-based charity organization that supports the less privileged. They also run Gospel Vibes, their music label, and organize the Praise The Almighty Concert, held every third Sunday of February in Lagos, a powerful gathering that draws thousands of worshippers to exalt God together.

In addition, their mentorship initiative, At Home With Tope Alabi (AHWTA), continues to shape the next generation of gospel artists by providing hands-on training in songwriting, worship composition, and ministry leadership.

The couple is blessed with God-fearing children, and together they remain steadfast in using their gifts and influence to glorify God and transform lives.

As Tope Alabi marks her 55th year, her life stands as a beacon of faith, creativity, and compassion. From releasing chart-topping gospel albums to empowering others through mentorship and charity, she continues to embody the essence of her calling; to worship God in spirit and truth while serving humanity with love.
