Restoration Concert 3.0 kicks off, promises healing, hope and unity
The third edition of Restoration Concert 3.0 takes place tonight at the Dr Hage Geingob Stadium in Windhoek.
This year’s gospel celebration, which starts at 16:00, carries the message “Restoration Is Here”, under the overarching theme “Hope for Restoration”.
It is a declaration that, no matter how broken things may seem, there is always hope for restoration.
Organised annually by Project Never Walk Alone, the event relies entirely on the generosity of corporate partners and individuals.
“This concert is their way of giving back and creating a space for gratitude, worship and hope,” said Nangula Mbako, concert MC and one of the organisers.
”This year’s event will include special 'Restoration Moments', where we reflect on the testimonies and journey of Project Never Walk Alone, celebrating lives that have been touched through the initiative.”
Rebuilding hope
The much-anticipated gospel celebration is set to be bigger and better this year, featuring performances by some of the world’s most celebrated gospel artists, such as Sinach and South Africa’s Xolly Mncwango.
The Restoration Concert has partnered with the City of Windhoek to provide transport to and from the venue.
Mbako said the main purpose of Restoration Concert 3.0 is to bring the nation together under a single banner of faith, hope and healing.
“It’s about reminding Namibians that restoration, whether spiritual, emotional or social, is possible. Beyond the music, this is a movement that seeks to restore dignity, joy and unity across communities. Through worship, we are rebuilding hope,” she said.
The name Restoration Concert 3.0 reflects what the nation and its communities need, she said, adding that it embodies healing, rebuilding and divine renewal.
Project Never Walk Alone, the brainchild of humanitarian Tim Ekandjo, uses the event to raise funds for shoes for underprivileged children.
Project Hope has provided over 12 600 children with brand-new Namibian-made shoes across nine regions.
“As I witnessed the joy and transformation in those children, we realised that restoration goes beyond the physical, it is emotional and spiritual too," Mbako said.
Restore
The first Restoration Concert took place in 2023, and each year it has grown bigger and more impactful than the last. “The support we have received from Namibians and the corporate community has been incredible,” said Mbako.
“This year, we want people to feel restored. My prayer is that everyone leaves renewed, with a lighter heart and revived faith,” she added.
