Organisers of Kingdom Konnect have announced Phil Thompson will replace Pastor Donnie McClurkin as the headliner for their upcoming concert at the Guyana National Stadium on December 21st, 2024.
In a statement the organisers noted Thompson is a billboard-charting American gospel artiste and known for his küresel worship anthems “All of My Worship” and “Atmosphere Shift”
Pastor Donnie McClurkin, who was originally scheduled to headline the show, has had to withdraw from his upcoming performances, including shows in Africa and Jamaica, due to post-surgical recovery concerns. Following two recent surgeries, McClurkin’s medical team has advised to temporarily refrain from air travel to ensure his full recovery.
In this season of both challenge and blessing, Kingdom Konnect said it grateful that acclaimed worship leader Thompson has graciously stepped in to join the celebration of worship.
Samuel Medas, co-founder of Kingdom Konnect, in expressing concern for Pastor McClurkin said: “Pastor Donnie has been an inspiration to countless believers worldwide, myself included. His health and well-being are paramount to us, and the entire Kingdom Konnect family is lifting him up in prayer. We believe in God for his complete healing and restoration. While we deeply feel his absence, we’re thankful that in God’s perfect orchestration, Phil Thompson will be joining us for this special night of worship.”
The addition of Thompson to the lineup brings fresh excitement to the event. Thompson recently shared the stage with Samuel Medas at a concert in Trinidad and is eagerly anticipating his first visit to Guyana, organisers said.
“After experiencing the incredible worship atmosphere in Trinidad with Samuel, I’m thrilled to be making my Guyana debut at Kingdom Konnect,” Thompson shared. “I’ve heard amazing things about the worship culture in Guyana, and I can’t wait to join my brothers and sisters there in lifting up the name of Jesus.”
The remaining lineup is unchanged and will feature Samuel Medas, Jaron Nurse, Saiku, Positive, John Mark Wiggan, Marc Isaacs and Blessed Messenger.
“We want to assure our patrons that this concert will be nothing short of amazing,” Medas added. “Phil Thompson brings a powerful anointing and dynamic worship experience that will perfectly complement our already outstanding lineup. This is still going to be a night of unprecedented worship and celebration in Guyana.”
Tickets for the event remain available at a cost $5,000 and can be purchased at authorised outlets. For more information and updates, persons can follow Samuel Medas and Jaron Nurse on social media.
