ZIADA NAIROBI: GRACE,LOVE & FELLOWSHIP

ZiAda, will be hosting a worship experience on the 14th of December, calling Kenyato unite in Grace, Love and Fellowship, in this year of Jubilee. The event, ZiAdaNairobi, will happen from 3pm at Parklands Baptist Church – Main sanctuary –and entry is free.

The event will also see the stage graced by like-minded artists, namely: songstress Kambua [ @Kambua], gracious singer Eunice Njeri [ @eunicenjeri11], and Bethu and Highest Praises Band [ @bethuandHPB].

The theme of grace, love and fellowship, runs through various aspects of the event: it is a culmination of the journey that of growth of the group, as individuals, individual entities and as one body. This is not an experience exclusive to ZiAda but a relatable story/stories to all, hence will be presenting real and relevant needs and praises to God.

The theme (Grace, Love, Fellowship) will further be exemplified by interaction with an identified children’s home with whom the team, and all others shall give towards meeting their need, for material basics, and at the same time having them be part of the worship experience.

This year’s Nairobi event comes after a successful mission in Nakuru (ZiAda Nakuru) on the weekend of 18th to 20th October.

BACKGROUND:

ZiAda, was initially coined from the combination of Zidi the Band and Adawnage,but has since grown into a ministry primarily comprised of 3 entities: the two bands and Number8, the Spoken Word poet.

Ziada: a swahili word which means ‘increase’ or ‘abundance’. Driven by the heart of John 10:10(b): “I have come that you may have life and have it more abundantly”. 

Once you taste this life, which is the Word, you will be compelled to share the good news with every one. ZiAda is a therefore a ministry which seeks to take the Word to the World and this is primarily through music and spoken word.

Whereas the three entities have come together for these missions, they still retain their individual identities and every so often hold events in their individual capacities. ZiAda has so far done various events as a single entity but has so far had four main gigs which they have put together: ZiAda Mombasa (1st to 3rd June, 2012) and ZiAda Nyeri (25th to 26th August, 2012), ZiAda Nairobi (12th December, 2012) and very

recently, ZiAda Nakuru (18th to 20th October, 2013) that each saw the group holding various events in these towns.

Entry to all the ZiAda events held so far has been free.They are funded through partnerships with corporates, churches and from resources of the individuals in the group. This, the group believes, will further push the agenda of making the Word as accessible as possible.

Telecommunication firm Orange and Nation Media Group stepped in as key sponsors of the event last year. Other sponsors included Coca Cola, Parklands Baptist Church, RiqRig, Swizznet Entertainment and Emerald Events.

ZiAda Nairobi is the climax, for the year. The ministry continues with plans to have more ZiAda experiences in the coming years.
