CeCe Winans’ Nairobi concert draws thousands in night of worship

What unfolded on Saturday night was far more than a concert; it was a profound encounter of worship, unity, and faith that left the audience deeply moved.

From the moment Winans stepped onto the stage, her presence commanded attention.

With her trademark blend of power and tenderness, she led the crowd into a spirit of reverence through timeless classics such as Alabaster Box and Goodness of God, alongside fresh offerings from her latest album, More Than This.

Each song seemed to draw listeners into a shared experience of devotion, turning the open-air venue into a vast sanctuary of praise.

The atmosphere was electric yet sacred. Hands stretched toward the sky, voices rose in unison, and tears flowed freely as the thousands-strong audience worshipped together.

At times, the grounds fell into hushed silence, broken only by the swell of voices joining Winans in worshipful chorus.

The evening also showcased performances from celebrated Kenyan gospel artist Kambua, Rwanda’s Vanissy Uwase, and Moz DJ, who set the stage with stirring praise that celebrated Africa’s rich gospel tradition.

Their contributions built an expectant atmosphere that perfectly prepared the way for Winans’ ministry.

For many in attendance, the night was described as a deeply personal and spiritual experience.

Audience members spoke of it as “life-changing,” noting that while the lighting, sound, and stage design were world-class, it was Winans’ authenticity, humility, and spirit-filled delivery that left the greatest impression.

As the final notes faded and the crowd lingered, reluctant to leave, it was clear that the evening had transcended entertainment. For Nairobi, the concert became a shared testimony of faith — a reminder of worship’s power to unite hearts and uplift spirits.
