The event which started on time saw over 2000 worshippers in attendance. The enthusiastic audience who so much wanted to join in making history were lead into the presence of God by great ministers of God in the persons of Jumbo, Dare David, Blessing Ali and Jamel Evans and the PCE Crew.

Nigeria’s finest comedian Jedi, who was the M.C. for the night thrilled fans with his comedy amidst emceeing skills. The three American guests artistes; Jonathan Nelson, Darwin Hobbs and Dee Jones did not disappoint either, as they delivered powerfully and held the audience wanting more.

The climax of the live recording was when Minister Sonnie mounted the stage and worshipped with the audience gathered while taking them through 30 different songs, a few of these songs being new songs he has composed. Backed by the choir from Maryland which was led by Nadia Scott, Sonnie worshipped God and through his ministration invited Mrs Annie Badu for the first time to join him sing a couple of his songs.
