As a result, the rising gospel musician recently released a 10-track album Anotikundisa Jehovha, as a way to continue winning souls to Christ through song and dance.
The musician, who leads Towers of Grace Singers, told NewsDay she wanted to spread God’s word through music.
“I derive my inspiration from Blessing Shumba. Likewise, I want to preach the word of God in rural areas through song. Many people now listen to a lot of music and I want to take this opportunity to preach to them through music,” Makoni said.
“It is through these songs that we have seen more people repenting and coming to God and I am committed to spreading the word of God through music ministry.”
Makoni, together with her group, have provided a spiritual musical experience to rural areas, with the purpose of creating a crescendo of praise and worship and devotions to God.
