"This track is reassuring. Its core message is ‘whatever your situation, you should know that God is faithful"

"It is taken from Psalm 23, ‘Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.’ That’s a message of encouragement"

"God is behind it because, without him, I am nothing"

"They brought in the energy which I thought they would, but also for me, I was really wowed by the fact that these are guys are five-time Grammy award-winning, yet they remained so humble"

"I never at any point felt intimidated. Some of them are quite advanced in age, but then they're very good at their music and what they do"

"I’m very excited to work with them and everything just panned out very well. I used to listen to them growing up, but now I've got the opportunity to work with them. This is indeed a dream come true"

"Over the years, I’ve carried a dream in my heart to return to Ekhaya koBulawayo and organise a concert that unites people from all walks of life in praise to one God. It’s a vision rooted in my love for my roots, my faith, and my passion for creating a space where souls can come together in worship, reflection, and community. This festival is more than just an event; it’s a heartfelt mission to bring people closer to God through music, unity, and shared faith"

"I consider myself incredibly blessed to have found a partner who truly understands and supports my calling. The Bible says, ‘He who finds a wife finds a good thing,’ and I can attest to that fully. My wife is not only my life partner but also my creative collaborator and confidant. She pushes me to dream bigger and think beyond limits"

"Her relentless passion, creative insight, and unwavering support ensure that my ideas are brought to life. Without her, many of the visions I have might never have materialised. I am grateful every day for her presence in my life — she is truly a blessing and an essential part of the journey we are on together, especially with the Ekhaya Worship Festival"

"We recognise the many logistical and organisational challenges involved in making this event happen year after year, but our passion and commitment drive us to keep this vision alive. The ultimate goal is to establish the festival as a celebrated gospel extravaganza that people look forward to each year — uniting hearts in praise, worship, and fellowship, and strengthening our collective faith journey"

"We believe that worship and spiritual growth are interconnected with physical well-being. As such, the festival is not just a spiritual event but also a movement towards caring for our community’s physical health — creating a space where faith, health, and community come together in unity"
