July 6th is Independence Day in Malawi. On this day Malawians commemorate the day they attained Independence from the British protectorate. On this day every year, celebrations are done at the national stadium.
The youth from around Blantyre and the surrounding districts wanted to do it differently; they chose to commemorate the day we live in ''the Voice Of The Seventh Angel Message" style, and the venue was to be the Voice Of God Recordings premises.
Being winter season in Malawi, it was a very cold morning punctuated with showers, and we never expected to have a large group of youth coming to attend this special meeting; the weather was simply hostile, to say the least.
Against all expectations, the youth started coming in their large numbers, and soon there was no more room in the tent. This translated to over 280 youths that attended!
A tape "63-0717 A Prisoner" was chosen, and it was indeed a huge blessing. The youth will live to remember this day. It was surely an Independence Day; for each youth a celebration of their day of liberty from strange messages they once believed. And music was the icing of the cake.
Thank you and God bless you.
