The Pastor of Moravian Church Mkonze Fellowship, Emmanuel Jonathan Mwakabalila, has emphasized that youth are the strength of both the church and the nation, noting that spiritual battles often target young people because of their critical role in shaping the future.
Speaking in Dodoma while announcing a special praise and worship service, Pastor Mwakabalila said that many spiritual challenges affect young people because they are energetic and influential in building the church and society.
“Youth are strong, and even the scriptures recognize that. No one desires weakness, God’s Kingdom needs strong young people for His work to move forward,” he said.
He added that the special service will take place on Sunday, April 12, 2026, from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. at the Moravian Church grounds in Mkonze, as part of the Easter season celebrations.
According to him, the event will feature various choirs and praise and worship teams from different churches, with the main goal of reaching out to young people and drawing them closer to God.
He explained that in today’s modern world, many youth are being drawn into social media distractions, gambling, and other unproductive activities, highlighting the need for deliberate efforts to bring them back to spiritual foundations.
“We invite all young people to come to the altar, receive spiritual healing, hear the Word of God, and experience transformation,” he emphasized.
On his part, gospel singer and evangelist from the fellowship, Adam Kisimile, said they are well prepared to ensure the service has a powerful impact on all attendees.
“We believe this altar carries power, and many people have testimonies because of what God is doing here. We welcome everyone to come and receive what they are seeking,” said Kisimile.
Church elder Japhet Halinga also encouraged residents of Mkonze and Dodoma at large to attend in large numbers, noting that praise and worship attract God’s presence and bring spiritual healing.
“Praise opens doors, heals, and draws people closer to God. This is a special opportunity for anyone in need of spiritual breakthrough,” he said.
The Secretary of the Youth Department, Simon Mbaga, stated that preparations are complete, with several praise and worship teams set to participate fully in the service.
He stressed that the main objective of the event is to strengthen faith, promote worship, and build young people spiritually so they can stand firm in their daily lives.
Gospel singer Grace Kamendu also called on people of all ages to attend, saying the service will be unique and full of blessings.
Quoting Joshua 1:9, she encouraged believers to be strong and courageous, assuring them that God is always with them in every situation.
Meanwhile, members of the praise and worship teams, including Mariam and Gloria Charles, urged young people to turn up in large numbers, noting that many have experienced healing and deliverance through praise and worship.
The event is expected to attract a large number of worshippers from Dodoma and surrounding areas, with organizers promising a powerful spiritual experience that will transform lives.
