HICC Zimbabwe Set For A Powerful Worship Concert With “God, The Lifter of Men”
HICC Zimbabwe Set For A Powerful Worship Concert With “God, The Lifter of Men” Ellard and Sharon have unveiled a city-shaping worship gathering that centres on hope, unity, and testimony, bringing a constellation of gospel ministers to one stage for an immersive day of praise at the Harare International Conference Centre.
Ellard & Sharon are preparing to host one of the most anticipated gospel events of the year, titled “GOD: The Lifter of Men”, set to take place on 25 October 2025 at the Harare International Conference Centre (HICC). This live concert promises to be a day of powerful worship, heartfelt praise, and divine encounters, uniting some of the most celebrated voices in gospel music.
The official artwork places the artists against the city skyline, with the title rendered in bold gold lettering that communicates triumph and reverence. The theme points to a night devoted to testimonies of upliftment and restoration, with music sequences that move from high-energy praise to contemplative moments of prayer and response. Organisers are signalling a carefully paced program with room for collaboration, spontaneous worship, and audience participation that often defines large gospel nights in Zimbabwe.
The billing is a blend of signature voices and dynamic ensembles. The poster lists Joyfull Praise, Takesure Zama, Ezekiel Paul, Minister M. Mahendere, Agape Gospel Band, Janet Manyowa, Eleana Makombe, and Cleo Arie. This mix suggests a journey that will traverse contemporary praise, choral richness, and intimate worship ballads. Expect tight vocal arrangements, alternating lead moments, call and response, and medleys that thread familiar choruses with fresh compositions.
Timings are clearly set for an extended encounter. Gates open at 12 noon, with the program scheduled to conclude at 9 pm. The multi-hour window allows for unhurried transitions between sets, testimonies, and collaborative finales where several artists share the stage. HICC’s production capacity, known for professional sound and lighting, should help deliver clarity for large congregational singing and the layered instrumentation that full gospel bands require.
Ellard and Sharon’s role at the centre of the program is key. The duo is recognised for tight harmonies and a worship style that blends choir-led surges with intimate declarations. Their curation of a cross-generational lineup hints at a narrative arc that welcomes families, youth ministries, and church choirs, converging around the theme of God as the lifter of those who are weary, hopeful, or expectant.
