The youth wing of the Assemblies of God Church, Eyean 1, Edo State recently held a musical concert tagged ‘Festival of Praise.’
The six-hour long event held last weekend at the main auditorium of the Church had in attendance students from the University of Benin, Edo State Institute of Management, Federal Polytechnic Auchi and Delta State University.
Welcoming participants, the president of the youth wing, Ose Emmanuel, a 300-Level student of the Department of Dentistry and Dental Surgery, UNIBEN, stated that the aim of the event was to worship God through praises.
Stressing that David in the Holy Bible is known for his exploits because he was fond of praising God, Ose told the participants to cultivate the habit of praise and let God know their problems through praises.
He also added that the musical concert was part of events marking the new year programme of the youth wing of the church.
The event featured choir ministration by the youth choir and invited choristers from other churches.
When Sax, a 300-Level student of the Department of Medicine and Surgery, UNIBEN, mounted the podium to perform, the church auditorium was set agog.
A participant who spoke at the end of the event said the concert was the best ever hosted by the youth wing and provided him an opportunity to commune with God.
