- Rutendo Nyeve Sunday News Reporter

UNITED-KINGDOM-based Pastor Calvin Sawasawa is set to host South African gospel singer, producer, songwriter, physician, Tumishang Makweya popularly known as Dr Tumi, in what is anticipate­d to be an ignited night of contempora­ry worship this evening at Family of God Auditorium.

The talented artiste who has the grace to heal from both the spiritual and the medical perspectiv­e, Dr Tumi was born and raised in Seshego, a township outside Polokwane, Limpopo, South Africa.

Dubbed “Word Worship Explosion”, the worship session will also feature local gospel group Vocal Ex together with Snowy. Worshipper­s will get an opportunit­y to worship with Dr Tumi who is coming to the City for the first time.

With the service free of charge, the Family of God Auditorium will see worshipper­s being lifted to another dimension, according to Pastor Calvin.

“We are having a service tomorrow (this evening) which seeks to ignite the city in worship. We want to bring back contempora­ry worship into the city,” said Pastor Calvin.

Contempora­ry worship means worship that is appropriat­e and meaningful for people who are living now. The Unshakable Pentecosta­l Church pastor described Dr Tumi as a renowned contempora­ry worshipper, who is an iwnfluenti­al worshipper hence worshipper­s will be taken to a different level of worship.

“We want to lift worship in the city up to another dimension of worship. Dr Tumi is influentia­l in contempora­ry music. Most of his songs are anthems. I am based in the UK and we play his songs there,” said Pastor Calvin.

Son to Bishop Haney Sawasawa who founded the Unshakeabl­e Pentecosta­l Church movement, Pastor Calvin vowed to continue with his father’s legacy.

“I grew up under the influence of worship and we will continue with the Sawasawa legacy. We want the church to be relevant to the times we live in hence we have invited a prominent contempora­ry figure to worship with,” said Pastor Calvin.

The service is set to start at 1730hrs and end at 2000hrs.
