PROPHET Walter Magaya took his congregation on a nostalgic journey during a Vintage church service in Waterfalls on Sunday.
He arrived in an old car.
He was dressed in vintage clothes and was using a walking stick.
He set the tone for an event which celebrated cultural values and history.
Praise and Worship Choir, Yadah Voices and Fusion Five, dressed in vintage attire, captivated the audience with renditions of songs from the likes of Paul Matavire, System Tazvida, Oliver Mtukudzi, Leonard Dembo and Thomas Mapfumo.
Prophet Magaya emphasised the importance of understanding cultural roots, explaining how traditional values shaped the lives of their ancestors in the early 1970s.
“We have millions of people in PHD across the globe from various age groups and we wanted to share this knowledge,” he said.
His message was two-fold – to remind the elderly of their past and to inform the youth about their heritage, especially in an era dominated by technology.
“The vintage service surprised many of our members and sparked numerous questions, all of which we were eager to answer,” Prophet Magaya.
“God is too big to be understood by one person.”
In his sermon, he shared a message from Exodus 3:14, where God reveals His name, “I AM WHO I AM,” symbolising His eternal presence.
Old vehicles, radios, and black-and-white televisions enriched the nostalgic atmosphere.
