Our Founder — Evangelist Bola Akande
Transforming Screens into Altars of Worship
Evangelist Bola Akande is a minister, filmmaker, and creative director — a vessel through whom the Holy Spirit provides the guiding vision for HPGMedia. She is also the founder of I Deborah Women’s Ministry, dedicated to empowering and equipping women in faith, purpose, and leadership.
Bola started His Praise & Glory Media (HPGMedia) in 2005 with a divine call to use creative media as a tool for spiritual awakening and transformation.
Over the years, she has directed and produced several gospel films, including Echoes of Silence, Sour Grapes, Caged, The Stance, Another Chance, and Love Uncut.
Her work beautifully weaves together faith, art, and storytelling to communicate God’s message to the world.
She works alongside a passionate team of professionals — actors, producers, writers, social media managers, graphic and web designers, and prayer warriors — who, together with Bola, make HPGMedia the vibrant spiritual vessel it is today.
