Radical gospel-dancehall artistes Perry InChrist and Prince Saj are on a mission to dominate the "secular spaces and infiltrate the souls of youths" with a dynamic mix of talents and "powerful messages" at the inaugural 'Takeover' concert on Friday. The event's organiser, Perry InChrist, given name Perry Cummings, told THE STAR that this concept is derived from him being a Christian and guild president at the The University of the West Indies, Mona. "I've always been involved in secular activities but always bring my faith and maintain myself as a man of God - a believer within these places," he explained.
"So Takeover is really an event to push and mobilise the community of Central Village, Spanish Town, in the right direction. It's to infiltrate the surrounding communities and to bring out the young people and steer them on the path of Christ," he said. The young singjay, who is known for his viral hit, Bwoy Affi (remix), shared that though he's not the first to host a gospel concert with the aim to 'win souls for Christ,' he believes this show will hit differently.
"God has his people in the secular world in leadership roles bringing change and God with them. But for me, I believe this is the new way forward for the believers in this crucial time that we're living in. So Takeover is just the first step of many more things to come.
What I want to do with this movement is going to pull on the new generation, so persons should come with an open mind and expect something diffe.
