'Wash me clean' is a mellow, thoughtful worship song that features on a childrens worship album we released in July 2013. The CD itself is called 'Arise, Shine Zimbabwe!' and it contains 14 tracks that range in style from zany, upbeat guitar rock, to gospel soul and tender ballad. Most of the group vocals and a few of the solos were sung by children, but 'Wash me clean' is unusual in that it doesn't feature any childrens vocals. It was included because it is an all time favourite of the children who attend the annual childrens conference in Harare, and the CD was compiled and recorded with this event in mind. This arrangement features Dave Bankhead as lead vocalist, supported by Grace Archer and Odele Harding who sing backing vocals. Around 350 Zimbabwean children aged between 7 and 14 yrs attend 'Arise, Shine Zimbabwe!' childrens conference every year, drawn from six linked church congregations in and around Harare. About 20 kids also come from further afield; bussed in from the rural areas. Every year for the past 5 years Dave has taken a group of young people from the UK on mission to Zimbabwe and South Africa at the end of August. Together, and with the help of a team of local church youth leaders and sunday school teachers, they lead a full programme of activities including Bible talks, learning Bible memory verses, worship, games, drama, arts & crafts, sports, video diary, and much else besides. It is something the Zimbabwe kids look forward to every year and it is a wonderful experience for Dave's UK team!
