It was a night of glorious worship at Celebration Centre in Borrowdale, Harare, as The Made a Way Decade Tour arrived in the city on Friday, July 18, 2025.
The sold-out concert lived up to expectations, with both local and international acts delivering memorable performances.
Local artists Jonathan Michael, The Unveiled, and Tembalami opened the night, warming up the stage with passion and energy.
Their sets laid a solid foundation for the visiting gospel ministers who followed.
After Tembalami’s set, Nigerian worshipper Grace Idowu took the stage in a modest blue Ankara print outfit, quietly stepping into the spotlight with a gentle presence.
Alone on stage, with no backing vocalists just her voice and the audience, she delivered a deeply moving worship session.
Her covers of Timothy Reddick’s You Covered Me, CeCe Winans’ Goodness of God, and Yet by The King Will Come were unexpected highlights.
But it was her original song You Are Not a Man that stirred the entire auditorium into a chorus of loud cries, prayer, and speaking in tongues.
Kaestrings followed, and his arrival sparked what can only be described as spiritual pandemonium.
The auditorium became a sea of raised hands and heartfelt worship. He shared scripture between songs and delivered crowd favorites like Haske, Rahama, and Gyara Ni Na Yesu Na.
But it was the prayer moments woven into his set that truly stood out.
After two missed visits, Annatoria finally made it to Zimbabwe.
Despite revealing that she had lost a friend to suicide earlier that day, she delivered an energetic and heartfelt set.
Songs like Stay with Me, In the Room, and Put it on God connected with the audience.
When the crowd called her back, she returned with a touching rendition of the hymns Ndoda and Ndinoda Kuimbira Jesu.
It was a strong and emotional performance.
The night ended with the main act, Pastor Travis Greene. Humble and relaxed, he mingled with the crowd, even taking selfies during his performance.
Backed by Forward City Music, the Grammy-winning artist delivered a powerful set. Having visited Zimbabwe twice before, he seemed right at home, flowing easily with the crowd and the atmosphere.
The event’s host, Pastor Yasha Chiriseri, kept the evening cohesive.
He remained in tune with the spirit of worship and supported the transition between acts smoothly, helping maintain the evening’s reverent mood.
Next up on the gospel calendar is Sumisola Agbebi, who will minister at the Relentless Worship Encounter at UFIC Basilica on August 9, followed by CeCe Winans at Celebration Centre on August 26.
In the meantime, look out for the upcoming collaboration between Travis Greene and Annatoria, featured on Greene’s new album, set to be released on August 22.
