“There is grace upon Sinach where ever she goes and who ever she works with there are open doors,” Chiriseri said.
He said they have already seen the “open doors” while preparing for the show.
Chiriseri said the theme It’s time was derived from Psalms 102 vs 13, which says: “You will rise up and have compassion on Zion, for it is time to show favour to her and the appointed time has come. Thou will rise and have mercy upon Zion.”
Local praise and worship maestros Janet Manyowa, Minister Mahendere, Takesure Zamar Ncube, Mkhululi Bhebhe and Celebration Choir will warm up the stage for the Nigerian, who is also a senior worship leader at Loveworld Ministries.
Sinach is the first singer-songwriter to top the Billboard Christian Songwriter chart for 12 weeks in a row.
