Each night, the dome was bathed in a kaleidoscope of brilliant lights as the sessions began with exhilarating praise and worship. The many unforgettable scenes could have been from a gospel concert. Songs were rendered to the Lord both in English and native South African dialects and the entire congregation melted into one huge harmonious voice as they sang, danced and worship God.

Pastor Chris started the opening session by expressing his love for South Africa, describing it as a great country which people from other nations of the world long to visit. He assured the people there would dramatic changes in their lives as a result of the meetings, and reminded them of Saul, whose life was never again the same after his encounter with Samuel, the prophet of God.

Addressing the ministers, he expressed his gratitude to them for turning out in such large numbers and urged them to get a hold of the message with their spirits, digest it in their system and share it with their congregation, so they in turn can take it to the rest of the world.

Reading from Ephesians 4: 8-13, Pastor Chris announced that his mission to South Africa was to edify the Body of Christ and perfect the saints for the work of the ministry. Without mincing words, he declared, “God is sending me to give you something you require for your life. As a vessel of God, I’m carrying something for your benefit and my job is to bring to you what God has sent me to deliver to you. Your responsibility however is to receive it.”
