Artist Overview
Healing Worship Team (often referred to as Healing Worship Ministry) is a premier Rwandan gospel collective that has become a cornerstone of the East African worship scene. Based in Kigali, the group is the music ministry of Power of Prayer Church. They are celebrated for their ability to blend traditional Rwandan choral arrangements with contemporary “atmospheric” worship, primarily ministering in Kinyarwanda and Swahili.
The team is recognized for its technical vocal precision and its focus on “revival” music—songs designed to stir the spirit and encourage deep congregational prayer. They operate as a large collective, featuring a rotating group of talented lead vocalists and a robust choir, making them one of the most consistent forces in the Great Lakes region’s gospel industry. Their music has traveled far beyond Rwanda, gaining massive popularity in Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Tanzania, and Kenya.
In 2026, Healing Worship Team continues to be a dominant presence on digital platforms. They started the year with a significant live recording event and have been releasing steady content from their latest project, Bugingo Bwanjye (My Life). Their recent live videos, such as “Nishimira” (released in late 2025/2026), have garnered millions of views, highlighting their enduring influence. In April 2026, the team has been active in hosting regional worship conferences, emphasizing their mission of “healing through the sound of worship.”
