Gospel musicians John Marie and Andrea Presson performed several of their powerful-packed songs at the 9th edition of ‘Power FM Presents’ that took place at Watoto Church in Kampala, on Thursday.
It’s the crowd response and the artists heartfelt ministration at the Church that really set the evening apart.
“This is more than just a show,” Watoto church Pastor, Brian Abaho said.
Earlier speaking to this website, officials from the faith-based station said ‘Power FM Presents’ is not a concert, but a mentorship programme for artistes. Aside its popular event Phat Fest that gathers several artists, ‘Power FM Presents’ is intended to showcase one music minister at a time.

For Andrea, who from the tender age of 7 (seven) while in the UK passionately enjoyed sharing her faith, the ‘Power FM Presents’ platform was a seasoned opportunity for her to minister and also share a story of how God has seen her through various issues.
Andrea started serious recording when she was 17-years old with a desire is to awaken youth to an experience with Jesus.
“I feel like a whole new person now,” she said at the event.
