Afro Gospel Verein holds its 2nd Afro Praise Festival at the Reithalle in Winterthur on Saturday 26th May 2012

In 2011, we started with the inaugural event at the Stadtkirche in Wi nterthur. We are excited that the 2012 concert is going to be even better! As one of the visitors to the 2011 concert described - after the concert ended; “I saw the Glory of the Lord saturating the hall as the ministration of Authentic Afro Gospel music thrilled the crowd”. “Others would simply not believe the concert has just ended – as they would not leave even after the end of the concert was announced.

As a follow-up to the 2011 event, we have titled this 2012 concert, “Afro Praise Festival”; with more attractions. We have now moved beyond Europe and will be featuring Trevor Simpson and his band from South Africa. This is indeed what we yearn for; to see and hear people experience fellowship with God through African music. For us, praise and worship is a form of making God known to many. Some have announced the Good News of God’s power and love, while others have engaged various media including their voices to achieve same. What a wonderful opportunity it is for you to be part of this great move of God in our generation. Afro Pfingsten has been celebrated annually for more than 20 years in Winterthur, Switzerland, because someone had a passion for something which he strongly believed in; a passion to promote cultural diversity and expose people to the beauty of Africa. Afro Pfingsten amongst other things is an event to:

Experience African touch Experience African art, cuisine and traditions Enjoy African music/and cultural events. Afro Gospel Verein believes that Pfingsten should be a wonderful time and opportunity not only to experience African life, but also bring Pentecost (Pfingsten) to bear. Gospel music is one of the most effective means of outreach to people’s innermost needs. Afro Music uplifts spirits, makes people happy, makes us reflect and cures most of our bitterness. Thus the Afro Gospel Verein brings Pentecost to the African atmosphere in Winterthur!

Come sing and dance to Authentic African Rhythm with Artists like:

  • Trevor Sampson & Band (South Africa) /
  • Jenny-c & Band (Ghana & Belgium) /
  • Kele & Band (Fiji ) /
  • Winning Faith Choir, Zurich /
  • Universal Choir, Zurich /
  • Oti Brown (Ni gerian Artist)


The concert which will take place at the Reithalle in Winterthur on Saturday 26th May 2012, starts at 16:00 till 18:30 and it is FREE for all (voluntary contributions are welcome).

The public is invited to this unique event, one that you cannot afford to miss.
