All is set for Call to Worship’s highly anticipated 16th-anniversary celebration this weekend, to be held at the Harare Gardens on Saturday.
Thousands of worshippers are expected to flood the venue for an unforgettable day of spiritual revival, live music and a powerful celebration of faith.The event promises a spiritually charged atmosphere, featuring some of Zimbabwe's foremost gospel artists – including Takesure Zama Ncube and Pastor Josh Kays – along with diverse church choirs and inspiring worship leaders. Together, they will mark this significant milestone in Zimbabwe's Christian calendar — a true testimony to God’s faithfulness over the years.
Pastor Philip Pike, co-founder of Call to Worship Global, expressed his excitement ahead of the event, saying everything was now place, with the final preparations wrapped up to ensure an inspired gathering of worshippers.
“We are thrilled to celebrate 16 years of transforming lives through worship. This is going to be a truly powerful and inspired moment, as we reflect on the journey and celebrate with thousands of worshippers,” he said.
This year's celebration runs under the theme “High and Lifted Up,” and will spotlight the incredible growth and profound impact Call to Worship has had on Zimbabwe’s Christian community.
Since its humble beginnings in 2008, Call to Worship has blossomed into a vibrant movement, igniting a spiritual awakening that has drawn worshippers from around the nation and beyond.
Endorsed by over 200 leading pastors during a special breakfast meeting last Friday, the event has been hailed as a critical platform for unity of the faith and spiritual growth.
The celebration will be headlined by some of Zimbabwe’s top gospel stars, among them the award-winning Takesure Zama Ncube, Pastor Josh Kays and the Call to Worship Choir. They are expected to lead deep and moving worship that will “lift up the name of Jesus!”.
