In the year 2021, a live recording titled “Sing with Thanksgiving” was conducted at City Christian Centre in Dar es Salaam by the renowned Neema Gospel Choir. The purpose of this recording was to engage in worship, praise, and give thanks to God for the wonderful things He had done for the choir. The event witnessed an impressive attendance of over 5000 people, who were eager to be a part of the celebration.
The significance of this live recording extended beyond the choir’s gratitude towards God. It was also an opportunity for collaboration with esteemed ministers such as Paul Clement, Gwamaka Mwakalinga, and Siandumi Ndosi. These collaborations enriched the event, as each minister brought their unique style and interpretations to praise and worship God.
The live recording consisted of a repertoire of songs that were not only meant to bless the audience but also served as a source of testimonies. Memorable songs such as “Mwema,” “Msalabani,” “Temporary,” “Unaweza,” and “Yesu Nakupenda” resonated deeply with the attendees, evoking powerful emotions, ministration, and personal connections.
