On Saturday, December 13, 2025, the “Glory to God in the Highest: Hope Rising” gospel concert and national prayer gathering will take place at the Discovery Bay Community Centre and Recreational Grounds.

The evening concert runs from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., featuring performances from Sister Arlene, Petra Kaye, Kukudoo, Aaron Miller, Bro Delli, and the Unity Singers. Prior to the main event, children can enjoy dedicated entertainment starting at 2:00 p.m.

A national prayer segment is scheduled from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., led by several pastors and church leaders, including Bishop Benbow of Zion New Testament Church of Christ the Redeemer, Rev. Kadian Smith of Old Folly NTCOG, Rev. Philbert Whynn of Browns Town United, Rev. Patrick Hibbert of Runaway Bay Moving COG, and Rev. Havar Hunter of Pentecostal City Mission.

The programme will be guided by a team of dynamic hosts—Markland Edwards, Marsha Ali Purple, and MC Teddy—with livestreaming provided by Info Media.

In support of families affected by Hurricane Melissa, attendees are encouraged to participate in the event’s “Food Drive” by contributing items or whatever they can afford.

The Island Tribe Collective will host an uplifting benefit concert — titled “WE CAN Benefit Concert” — scheduled for Friday, January 9, 2026, at 6:00 PM, to be held at The Amphitheater at Nassau Cruise Port in the Bahamas. The event is more than just music: it’s an effort to support islands affected by Hurricane Melissa.

The “WE CAN” concert will feature an impressive lineup of artists, including headliners Kevin Downswell, Jonathan Nelson, and Sherwin Gardner. Additional performances will come from Colyn Kristopher, Marc Isaacs, Alyssa Joseph, Davian Chase, Onaje Gibson, Oslein Jadorte, John Yarde, Renwick Duesbury, Trenika, Jaiciko Lawrence, Landlord — plus several more artists still to be confirmed.

At its core, the benefit concert aims to give back. Attendees are encouraged to bring canned goods or other non-perishable items as their “entry.” For those unable to attend in person, there’s also the option to donate directly. The proceeds and contributions raised will be directed toward relief efforts for the communities impacted by Hurricane Melissa.
