MORE than 120 pastors from across the country, including some heads of denominations, gathered in Harare this week to pray and show their support for the upcoming Call to Worship Global Annual Night of Worship to be held on October 11, 2025 at Harare Gardens in the capital.
The Call to Worship Annual Night of Worship, which has become a fixture on Zimbabwe’s Christian calendar, is expected to draw thousands of believers to a night of praise and worship, which coincides with its 17th anniversary.
This year’s gathering will feature worship leaders that include renowned South African gospel singer Ntokozo Mbambo and prominent Zimbabwe gospel musician Janet Manyowa.
It will also include the melodious voices of the Call to Worship Global Choir and the AFM Zimbabwe Worship Team.
Speaking at the pastors’ prayer breakfast in Harare on Thursday, Pastor Trevor Masuku, general secretary of the Evangelical Fellowship of Zimbabwe, framed the event as a critical spiritual intervention for the nation.
“This is no ordinary event,” Pastor Masuku said.
“It is a spiritual altar where Zimbabwe gathers to honour God. In times when people are searching for hope and direction, worship realigns us with the true heart of God.”
Dr Constantine Murefu, chairperson of the Apostolic Faith Mission in Zimbabwe, spoke of the event’s unifying power.
“Call to Worship has always been about unity,” he said.
“When we come together as one body, regardless of our tradition, we demonstrate that we are stronger united in Christ. I believe this year’s gathering will be a turning point for many lives.”
Bishop Guide Makore, a Team Leader at the African Evangelistic Enterprise Zimbabwe and renowned for his interdenominational work over the years, spoke of the transformative power of collective worship.
“Every time God’s people gather in true worship, something shifts in the spirit,” Bishop Makore said.
“We have seen testimonies of healing, restoration, and revival. I invite every believer – young and old, in cities and villages – to come and be a part of this divine moment.”
Apostle Philip Pike, co-founder of Call to Worship Global, said: “Seventeen years ago, this movement was born from a desire to see one voice, one altar, one sound rise to the King of Kings,” Apostle Pike said.
“I see October 11 as a moment in history where Zimbabwe comes to place the crown where it belongs: at the feet of Jesus.”
