PHILIPSBURG, ST. MAARTEN – Renowned gospel singer, Sinach, is scheduled to be in St. Maarten on February 9, 2019, announced Christian Faith Ministries International (CFMI) on Thursday, November 15, 2018, during the launch of its ‘All White Night of Worship’ concert.
According to CFMI’s Apostle Edwin Arrindell, the main objective of bringing the international singing sensation to the island is to uplift the community of St. Maarten and surrounding islands.
“After the passage of Hurricane Irma, the islands were left in a devastated state. Homes, livelihood, vehicles and the economy [were all] impacted. As a result, I began to seek God’s guidance as to what we can do as a church, understanding the social, economic, emotional, and spiritual low at the time,” the Apostle told the gathering at Holland House.
“I believe God guided us as a church to host a national concert that will help to encourage, uplift, inspire, and strengthen our faith [and] …we were able to find one of the best of our time – an artiste, songwriter, and singer who bears the features we were looking for.”
Scheduled to join Sinach on stage at the Festival Village on February 9, 2019, is St. Maarten’s own award-winning gospel singer, Benjamin Bell and his band, God’s Chosen; as well as Cecil Griffith, Shawn J, Raheem Atkinson, Steven Anderson, Mary-Louse Rattan, The Harmonics Band, CFM Choir, CFM Vessels of Honor, and Total Praise dancers.
Sinach, born Osinachi Kalu in Nigeria, is a multi-award-winning recording artiste, songwriter, performer. As a key member of the Love-World music team of Christ Embassy, she started singing at a very young age and has witnessed, first hand, amazing miracles in the lives of people while ministering in music.
The ‘I know Who I Am’ hit singer has written more than 200 songs, including ‘’Way Maker’ and ‘This is Your Season’, the latter of which won her the award for Song of the Year in 2008. She was also given the award for Global Excellence at the Sixth African Achievers Awards in July 2016 in Abuja at the International Conference Centre. Her latest album release of praise and worship songs include ‘More of You’, ‘In your Presence’, and ‘Awesome God’.
According to Apostle Arrindell, Sinach believes in writing from her heart and knowing what the spirit of God is saying to the Church. As a gifted vocalist, she has ministered to millions of people all over the world.
