It’s been a truly amazing year for gospel powerhouse Esther Igbekele, and there’s no slowing her down! The award-winning singer has taken her ministry beyond borders, spreading God’s word through her music and leaving a mark everywhere she goes.
After years of consistency and hard work, 2025 has turned out to be one of Esther’s most successful years yet. Her international movement to promote her brand and music has seen her performing across continents — from the United States to Europe — touching hearts and uplifting souls.
In September, Esther embarked on her much-anticipated U.S. tour, with powerful ministrations in Baltimore, Maryland, New Jersey, and New York.

But Esther didn’t stop there. She flew straight to Italy in October to celebrate with the Celestial Church of Christ, Ileri Oluwa Parish, Brescia, at their 30th Adult Harvest. The celebration was nothing short of glorious, with Esther delivering soul-stirring songs that moved the congregation.
Still in October, she graced the stage at the London Praise 2025 Concert, held at the GAUMONT Palace in the U.K. The event brought together top gospel voices from around the world — and as always, Esther Igbekele stood out with her powerful delivery and deep spiritual connection.
As 2025 winds down, Esther is still on the move! She’s preparing for another round of performances in the U.K. and Nigeria, proving that her passion for ministry knows no limits.
