Christians from all over the West Rand converged at the Toekomsrus Stadium for the second annual Rainbow FM West Rand Prayer Rally recently.
Local pastors as well as spiritual leaders from the West Rand were given an opportunity to pray about spiritual and physical challenges, ranging from HIV and Aids to drug abuse, unemployment, as well as harmful religious practices such as occult worship.
Karlin Visser, Rainbow FM operations manager, emphasised that the event was a response to what the listeners would normally pour out to presenters through telephonic communication. The Toekomsrus rally is one of the few hosted by the station. She said the event as well organised by local organisers and coordinators from various Toekomsrus denominations.
“We are happy to partner with West Rand pastors in this regard. We will host another event of this kind, which will be an Anti Drug Abuse campaign in Florida,” Karlin said.
Local coordinators Pastors Luis Adriaanse and Joseph Nichodimus described the rally as divinely inspired.
“This was a powerful example of God answering people and their prayers,” Luis said.
Nichodimus added, “The timing is indeed perfect when the nation humbled itself. There is no way they can escape anointing.”
Hloni Ramosolo and Thabo Machaka, vibrant and energetic Rainbow FM personalities, were the masters of ceremonies while the likes of Amo Ramela (sports hostess) and Lebo Mohlakoana were behind the mic during the live broadcast.
Singing on stage was the Toekomsrus Worship Team consisting of various vocalists as well as the Apostolic Faith Mission band that kept the spirit alive with traditional Afrikaans praise-and-worship music along with a touch of Kaapse Klopse, especially the song entitled Toe die Here my siel kom red het (When the Lord saved my soul) – which had people dancing and clapping in a spiritual fervour.
