The team; before auditions

 IGIZA FEST AUDITIONS
Philip Luchiemo

So after over 2 months in intensive rehearsals, prayer & fasting, the hour of reckoning beckoned; Jewels Production representing Winners  Chapel had finally come face to face with the IGIZA FEST' auditions on Sat the 23rd of June. Though a tad nervous considering this was the  first external competition they had ventured in, faith was at heart. Also, the fact that everyone was smartly dressed in their post-modern costumes, looking like true jewels, helped build up the psyche as well. The Jewels team arrived at the Kenya National Theatre at around 4pm, only moments before gracing the stage. This aroused quite the stir among some of the other participating churches who seemed to have been eagerly anticipating to behold what these "fashionably-late comers" had in store.
 




One would expect the audience to have been tired and bored by evening but as the team went up on stage, the saying "save the best for last" was clearly re-affirmed. They kept everyone at the edge of their seats, eyes completely glued to the breath taking play "Uptown Baptist Church". A dash of wholesome comedy mixed up with a little bit of romance, colossal suspense & a dramatic twist of events at the denouement, left the hall echoing with applause. And as fate would have it, this indeed mirrored the inevitable forthcoming verdict;
Winners Chapel proclaimed the winner with 77.7% thus automatically qualifying to the Galla Night scheduled for the 14th of July. Vigorous thanksgiving & praise to God rent the air around the vicinity as the Jewels team celebrated divine favour & distinction that encompasses this great commission. All eyes focused on these shinning jewels was evident depiction & confirmation of God's promise in Malachi 3:17

 ¹⁷ And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. 

Victory dance; What a marvelous God
