Mrs Rebecca Nhyira is the daughter of Deaconess Grace Mensah, the founder of the renowned Eduma Prayer Camp, which was formerly a subsidiary under the Church of Pentecost.

In 2011, the Church of Pentecost, led by its chairman, Apostle Dr Opoku Onyinah, issued a circular cutting ties with the prayer camp on the grounds that Edumfa had become the epicenter of doctrines and practices contrary to the main church.

Despite the breakaway, the prayer camp continued to operate.

During Rebekah Nhyira's one-week observation, Cecilia Marfo led the charge to perform while mourning with some Edumfa members.

Videos of the sensational singer performing have surfaced on social media.

Cecilia Marfo has been a core supporter of the Edumfa spiritual movement. In 2020, Cecilia Marfo advised media personality Stacy Amoateng to spend a year at the prayer camp.

The media personality's husband, Okyeame Quophie, granted an interview, crediting Cecilia Marfo for saving his wife's life.
