Praise and Revival: Joseph d'Af and Rija Rasolondraibe in Stuttgart
A major spiritual gathering is set for the Malagasy Christian community and evangelical music enthusiasts in Germany. On Saturday, September 26, 2026, the Staufenhalle, located at Am Marktplatz 10 in Plüderhausen, in the Stuttgart area, will host a full day of praise, worship, and spiritual revival starting at 3 p.m. The audience will meet Joseph d'Af, a leading figure in contemporary gospel with catchy rhythms, and Rija Rasolondraibe, an emblematic singer-songwriter whose timeless melodies unite the diaspora around profound messages. Preaching and teaching at this convention will be led by Pastor Mahandry Raherivahatr'aina. Organized around the evocative message "Rise up! The time of tears is fulfilled," this event aims to be a decisive turning point, a vibrant call to seize future blessings and take charge of one's future under divine grace. To carry this message of restoration and hope, these three figures of the Malagasy spiritual and musical scene will share the same stage. Between moments of intense worship, festive praise, and edifying messages, this gathering promises to be a powerful time of fraternal communion and spiritual renewal for the entire region.
