The cleric while announcing the event online said: “I am elated that we are going to be worshipping the King of Glory traversing the globe in diverse tongues, towns and talents, various regions, hues and colours of skin and also, in a virtual atmosphere.”

He added, “So whether you are in the global north, the global south, east or west, you cannot afford to miss this one. Let us all come together, lift our voices and raise our praise to the One and only true God.”

#TE15G as it was dubbed, featured some new and very unique entrants to its outstanding line-up. From Australia – Hillsong United, Tasha Cobbs and Maverick City from the United States of America, from South Africa -The Cape Town Philharmonic Choir, Ana Paula Valadao from Brazil, Sheldon Bangera from India, Matt Redman from the United Kingdom and Sidney Mohede from Indonesia.

Expressing her joy and excitement, Pastor Ifeanyi Adefarasin said: “It’s something to shout about and something to make noise about and definitely something unmissable.” So be it from any part of the icy wintery atmosphere in Europe and Asia or the dry harmattan hitting hard in Africa, the barrier of location was exhumed by the virtual means allowing all enjoin in Africa’s Largest Gospel Concert. “The Experience is back again. It’s bigger, better and bolder” like pastor Paul Adefarasin announced.
