The Organisation of Zambians Abroad OZA announced with with sadness the passing of Ms Priscilla Chibamba in Seattle Washington.
Ms Priscilla Chibamba was once a Victory Ministries lead Singer known throughout Zambia because of her singing Ministry at the ZAMBIA SHALL BE SAVED episodes of Victory Ministries lead by Pastor Nevers Mumba in the early 1990’s.
Dr and Mrs Nevers Mumba paid the following tribute to Priscilla:
This morning, my wife and I have woken up to terrible news. Our own daughter in the Lord, Priscilla Chibamba has passed on.
She died in Seattle, Washington on Thursday.
Priscilla was amongst many young women and men who came to know Christ through our nationwide crusades dubbed “Zambia Shall Be Saved” in the early 90’s.
She was raised in the Victory Bible Church, the congregation I pastored for over two decades. She was gifted, anointed and a vibrant young lady. She attended our Victory Bible college and became the pioneer of Gospel Music in Zambia. Her unique voice and singing gift brought her on my crusade team in the early 90’s. She became our crusade soloist in all our Crusades and later became a national phenomenon on our popularized Zambia Shall be Saved Television broadcast on which she featured on a weekly basis to a captive Zambian audience. 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.
We later sent her to Dallas, Texas where she furthered her theological studies at Christ For the Nations Institute. She later settled in Dallas with her Zimbabwean husband David and raised a family.
She has left a beaten trail for the younger generation of Gospel Artists to follow.
My family, the extended family of Victory Ministries World Wide and the Zambian people will miss her greatly.
Our deepest condolences to the family. May the peace of God that surpasses all understanding calm your hearts today and always.
You may now rest in your father’s bosom hand maiden of the Lord. So, long, so long Priscilla.
I loved hearing your angelic voice on TV- Zambia shall be saved. Thank you for inspiring a young christian then, to live her life dedicated to the Lord. May you rest in eternal peace. You blessed and touched so many people. My sincere condelences to your family and friends.
My heartfelt condolences to Priscilla’s family. Her passing is a great loss to Zambia and the rest of the world. God rest her soul in eternal peace!
Never heard of her
Sad but she is now in a better place where there’s no social distancing and masking up. Condolences to her family. I can hardly recall her too though I was once at Dr. Mumba’s crusades as a young boy in Lusaka those days. Unfortunately, important details like age and circumstances that led to her death are critically missing in the report.
Rest in peace Priscilla …. i remember you singing there is none like you at a crusade in Kabwe. This woman had a wonderful voice
MHSRIP, sad indeed, but like all politicians,there is more about Nevers. He can’t even tell us how many children survived her.
Never heard of her and someone had been voted down for saying so but it’s true. Anyway any passing is a sad passing. It seems she has gone before her time. Condolences to the family.
Sincere condolences and thank you for sharing. What an impactful time of ministry those days were! May God raise labourers for the gospel in Zambia that will affect nations!
This is very sad, she was a decent teenager who lived like knowing her success during adult. Her younger bro, my classmate during primary school was proud of his sister. MHSRIP
