The crusade, which will conclude with a crossover event tomorrow, is being led by Botswana-based Johane Murenje Apostolic Church of All Nations leader Isiah Gynatsio.

The 24-year-old prophet is one of the apostolic sect leaders gaining popularity through the use of anointing oil as a medium of healing the sick and delivering the afflicted.

Vabati VaJehovah will share the stage with other apostolic choral groups Vabati VeVhangeri, Chiedza Chevatendi and Mambo Dhuterere.

Richard Magaya of Vabati VaJehovah confirmed they would be performing at the crusade, saying his troops would use the opportunity to sample new songs off their 2017 album.

“We are going there to support Prophet Gynatsio as Vabati VaJehovah since we are in the same field of preaching the Word of God and we do worship the same God,” he said.

“We urge people to come in their numbers so that they receive salvation as well as healing. People should be ready for a stress-free 2017 as the man of God is there to assist.

“We will be singing new songs off the new album to be released next year.”

Gynatsio told NewsDay that the crusade would also be graced by Botswana-based choral groups.

“We are happy that we secured the services of Vabati VaJehovah and other big choral groups who are all going to perform at this crusade,” he said.

“We also have other groups from Botswana who jetted into the country on Tuesday.”

The crusade is the first of its kind in the country, where an apostolic sect leader will be openly dishing out anointing oil, a practice often associated with Pentecostal church leaders.
