SOUTH American gospel singer Curt Hardy is set to perform in Harare on September 30.
The award-winning artiste will share the stage with decorated gospel musician Minister Michael Mahendere at the 15th anniversary of the Call to Worship Global music concert.
The revered singers, as well as many other local and regional artistes, are expected to deliver powerful worship songs at the free concert scheduled for Harare Gardens.
The concert will be a celebration of faith and music, a reminder that God is still working in the world and that there is hope for the future.
Hardy, who was born in Guyana, said the concert is a chance for Zimbabweans to experience the love of God.
“If you have attended a Call to Worship concert before, you know that it is a day of high spiritual upliftment and excellent music. You would not want to miss this year’s event. If you have never been to one, now is your chance to be a part of this glorious occasion,” said Hardy.
“Bring your friends and family, extend the invitation to your church and pastor, and let us gather together in the name of the Lord for a wonderful time.”
Hardy is a singer and songwriter, who has won numerous awards. They include the South American Music Award for Best Gospel Album.
His counterpart, Minister Mahendere, has also won several accolades that include the Global Music Awards, Africa’s Gospel Artiste of the Year.
“I am scheduled to perform and participate as one of the ministers at the upcoming Call to Worship Global concert. This is a time for us to come together and lift our voices in praise to God,” said Minister Mahendere.
“It is a time for us to forget our troubles and focus on the goodness of God, celebrating the power of worship free of charge.”
Organisers of the event are expecting thousands of people to attend the show, which will run under the theme “From Glory to Glory”.
The event will also have a special session — Youth Power Praise — for young people.
Call to Worship was established in 2008, initially serving as an annual inter-denominational gathering, with the primary objective of spreading the gospel through praise and worship, while bringing together Christians from all corners of the country.
It was later rebranded to Call to Worship Global to reflect its international aspect.
The event has over the years seen numerous churches coming together in harmony, bridging denominational divides, and fostering love and worship.
It has provided a platform for many musicians and groups to showcase their God-given talents. This has resulted in the rise of several artistes, with some ending up pursuing successful careers in music.
In addition to hosting concerts, Call to Worship Global engages in other activities such as outreach programmes and training workshops.
The ministry’s goal is to use music to spread the gospel and to unite Christians in worship.
