Soweto Gospel Choir to Celebrate Mandela

-
South African Grammy Award winning
choir, Soweto Choir is set to release a
new album titled FREEDOM to mark the
posthumous birthday of Nelson Mandela.
The former South African president who
died on December 5th 2013 at the age of
95, would have turned 100 on July 18th.
The choir which emerged on the global
music scene in 2002, will release the
much-anticipated album on September
14th.
According to the choir:
The significance of Nelson
Mandela’s 100th commemoration
to South Africans is, firstly and
foremost a reminder of the role
played by Nelson Mandela in
moving South Africa from a
position of being an undemocratic,
oppressive society to one of a
peaceful co-existence for all
racial groups. Mandela represents
love, peace, forgiveness and
strength to the choir. He is a
symbol of inspiration to the Choir.
Freedom is the sixth Shanachie
Entertainment recording, and it is a
fascinating collection of freedom songs
from South Africa and beyond.
The choir which was invited in 2014 to
perform at the Memorial Service for
Nelson Mandela at Westminster Abbey
and selected to sing at the memorial
service for Winnie Madikizela-Mandela in
2018 is also set to embark on a chart-
buster tour on October 4, 2018 in the
United Stated of America.

Don't loose hope By David Ibiyeomie

DON’T LOSE HOPE When God wants to visit you, He makes a dry place (wilderness) to become a fruitful ground. Our God specializes in doing new things. Forget what you have passed through before now; God will do a new thing. He will open up a new chapter in your life now in Jesus name! Isaiah 43: 18-19 -Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. No matter how battered and shattered your life was before now, God said He will do a new thing beginning from now. In the same area where men and women have completely written you off, God will visit you if you believe it in the name of Jesus! Genesis 21:1,7 - And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken. And she said, who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? For I have bor...

Chinese authorities bulldozed a registered church building July 17 without warning to make way for construction of a new neighborhood and train station. International Christian Concern (ICC) reported that more than 70 police officers and workers showed up to take down the Liangwang Catholic Church building in China’s Shandong province. They lacked the proper documentation, but it didn’t matter. Church officials Gao Rongli, Zhang Siling and Li Xiangmei – who were inside the building -- had their phones confiscated and destroyed. It took only 15 minutes to demolish the building using bulldozers and pickaxes, according to ICC. Officials spared nothing, destroying the altars, benches and furnishings. “The disproportionate manpower used to demolish this church goes to show that China is fearful of Christians,” said Gina Goh, ICC’s regional manager. “The government knew that the demolition in the name of urban zoning would be met with resistance, so it ensured succes...
