Africa Let's Worship! The call to lift our hands and voices as one, in adoration of the King of Kings, is back again. Yet another nightful of powerful praise and worship is coming our way this September. It's the 2007 edition of AFLEWO, set to be held on Friday, 28th September 2007. New choir, new passion, and even a new venue describe this year's AFLEWO, which moves to the expansive Nyayo Stadium from the traditional NPC Karen.
Event organisers explain that the move is in anticipation of the large numbers expected at this year's AFLEWO (Their estimate is 40,000 plus people). They are quick to allay fears about security, with confirmation that the Stadium's police post will have the event more than covered. As usual, entry is free and food will be available (for sale) in plenty. Moreover, designated transport will be available from Kencom bus terminus both to and from Nyayo Stadium at a fee.
The 150-strong Aflewo choir, drawn from various churches in the city, has been hard at practice in preparation for the night. One has no excuse whatsoever for missing this exciting night of prayer, praise and worship.
:: A Little Background
AFLEWO, acronym for Africa Let's Worship, was started by Sing Africa in 2004 with a vision to stir up hope across Africa through annual events of worship in music and prayer. For three years running, the event has been held at Nairobi Pentecostal Church – Karen in the month of September. On these nights, multitudes sung praises to God and interceded for Africa. The 2006 chapter featured guests from Nigeria, South Africa and the USA.
The Aflewo event has attracted an increasing audience since its inception. About 6,000 attended the inaugural edition; the number doubled in 2005; and in 2006 approximately 20,000 people attended including guests from Nigeria, South Africa and the USA. The Aflewo Vision is to have the event take place in every capital city in Africa by 2017.
