Purposeful music… The Restoration Concert powered by Project Never Walk Alone brought about 25 acts to the stage at the Hage Geingob Stadium in Windhoek on Saturday. The aim was to rejoice in the gospel despite numerous social issues that prevail in the country. The initiative allows for the restoration of faith in believers. Gospel sensations including Sedney, Soli Deo Gloria, Omaruru Young Brothers and Adora, Manda Gabriel, D-Naff, Jael MK, and Rodney Seibeb set the tone for the night. Other spectacular and electrifying performances came from CRC Windhoek Choir, Collective Singers, Maranatha, and ACM Entertainment Group among others. The main act for the night was the South African group Joyous Celebration which serenated the attendees with 10 of their well-known ballads. On the night, the project announced pledges of N$250 000 from Standard Bank and N$650 000 from Erongo Marine, equating to more than 3 000 pairs of shoes that will be procured. To date, Project Never Walk Alone has delivered 10 000 pairs of shoes in seven regions and they are determined to restore the confidence of every barefooted child in the entire country.
