This is a church tour courtesy of Baptist Church. I am going to the United Kingdom early March and, from there, I will proceed to USA where the band will join me,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nFaith said he was grateful to God for the development.<br \/>\nThe concert, which saw Faith and his Mdidi Band performing for some time, was broadcast live on Blantyre Synod Radio, which took advantage of the event to call for support from people.<br \/>\nFaith\u2019s parents were present during the concert and they enjoyed the event from start to finish, appreciating their son\u2019s musical works.<br \/>\nFaith took the audience on a worship session showing that he was a good worship leader.<br \/>\nThe musician, who made strides this year after performing at the Glastonbury Festival in the United Kingdom, offered worship songs and engaged the audience throughout his performance.<br \/>\nSome of the songs he offered on the special night included \u2018Desperate\u2019, \u2018Nditumeni\u2019 and \u2018Mdidi\u2019, which he saved as the last item on his agenda.<br \/>\nThe show was attended by church leaders and other musicians, among them Thoko Suya and David Kalilani.<br \/>\nFaith said it was a special night for him.<br \/>\n\u201cI have always been doing paying events but I thought it wise to bring people together without asking them to pay something. It was all about worshiping God with them,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nThe singer said he has been doing free shows in rural areas but, for once, decided to do it in town and that this was also an early Christmas gift.<br \/>\n\u201cThe support was amazing and I am happy that some also bought CDs and t-shirts,\u201d Faith said.<br \/>\nHis father said he had a good time.<br \/>\n\u201cIt was a good time to encourage each other but also to uplift God, especially looking at where we have come from,\u201d Faith\u2019s father said.<br \/>\nHe also said that the Mussa Family, which was popular in the past years, would come back.<br \/>\n\u201cIt\u2019s just that the boys were out doing their school but that chance is there now and people will see something different,\u201d he said, revealing that he now plays a saxophone.<br \/>\nHe said that he taught Faith music when he was young and that he listened to him.<br \/>\nFaith\u2019s mother also said she was happy with the path that her son had taken.<br \/>\n\u201cI am happy and I thank God for this.
