Movement for Multi-Party Democracy (MMD) leader Nevers Mumba is saddened with the passing of Priscilla Chibamba who died on Thursday last week in Seattle Washington.
Ms. Chibamba was amongst many young women and men who came to know Christ through the Victory Ministries nationwide crusades dubbed “Zambia Shall Be Saved” in the early 90’s.
Dr. Mumba said in his tribute monitored on his Facebook page yesterday that Ms. Chibamba was raised in the Victory Bible Church, the congregation he pastored for over two decades and that she was gifted, anointed and a vibrant young lady.
He said Ms. Chibamba was by and large, the most recognized pioneer of Gospel Music in the nation and was loved by many.
“This morning (yesterday), my wife and I have woken up to terrible news. Our own daughter in the Lord, Priscilla Chibamba has passed on. My family, the extended family of Victory Ministries World Wide and the Zambian people will miss her greatly,” Dr. Mumba wrote on his Facebook page.
He added “Priscilla attended Victory Bible College and became the pioneer of Gospel Music in Zambia. Her influence went beyond the boundaries of our country into Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia, RSA, Swaziland, DRC and other nations where we held huge Victory Gospel Crusades. Priscilla was by and large, the most recognized pioneer of Gospel Music in the nation. She was loved by many,”
He explained that Ms. Chibamba’s unique voice and singing gift brought her on his crusade team in the early 90’s and that she became the crusade soloist in all his Crusades and later became a national phenomenon on the popularized Zambia Shall be Saved Television broadcast on which she featured on a weekly basis to a captive Zambian audience.
Dr. Mumba said Ms. Chibamba had left a beaten trail for the younger generation of gospel artists to follow and will be missed by his family, the general public as well as the extended family of Victory Ministries worldwide.
He further wished the bereaved family, the peace of God that surpasses all understanding to calm their hearts even as they mourned their beloved one.
