The Zamar Gospel Concert has been hosted in the city of Bauchi to prepare the ground for peaceful elections in the state and the country at large.

The Music concert which took place Friday night is the first edition in Bauchi state and featured an array of award-winning frontline indigenous gospel artists such as Dr Panam Percy Paul, Minister Micah Daniel, Ibi Dave, Minister Aisa Akapso, Minister Femi Praise, Godstime Okorie, Evelyn Ernest, Grace Yunusa amongst others.

The Zamar Gospel Concert was organized by the House on the Rock Church, Bauchi Chapter in collaboration with the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, and Fellowship of Gospel Music Ministers of Nigeria.

Among the notable pastors that graced the event include pastor Micheal Akor, Pastor Jerry Ogebeba, Pastor Chinor Akor, Pastor Kingsley Ike, Pastor Gbenga, and Dr Owie, amongst others.

The Convener of Zamar and senior pastor at the House on the rock, Bauchi branch, Micheal Akor said that the event is an inter-denominational gospel concert that helps to promote peace in the country by bringing people of different faiths together.

“What gave birth to Zamar is that I have been having this vision in my spirit for about two years and have been running away from it, but God told me that we are coming into a time that the church has to arise in great power and strength and in order to do that, it has to release a sound as we stay in the place of prayer.

“God told us that Zamar is something we should make happen and you cannot talk of the church exercising authority without unity and because of that Zamar is bringing the whole body of Christ together to lift up a sound in praise and worship and also in the place of prayer.”

Also Speaking one of oldest gospel artist who is recognized internationally, Dr Panam Percy Paul said that the Zamar gospel concert is the beginning of building the bond in the body of Christ that Nigeria has not had in a very long time.
