ABOUT
Ever wondered what would happen if we lived the songs we sing? What impact would that have on the church's gospel mission? Is worship theological - does it frame our thinking and acting? If so, what do our current songs say about our theology - our understanding of who God is, who we are, and what our role is in bringing the Kingdom come on earth as in heaven?

Mandla Mbuyazi
Mandla Mbuyazi is a member of We Will Worship Movement, a group of friends brought together by a common love for God and love for making music. WWWM describes themselves not as a band but a movement intentionally making room for God to add to us and shift us as seasons change so that what He started with and through us, can continue on even after we’re gone. As a collective WWWM endeavor to write songs about what God is doing and has promised to do, whilst remembering and honouring what God has done. As much as they're songwriters and musicians, the members don’t cease to be worshippers when they clock in on Monday mornings as accountants, students, teachers and mothers.
