“This crusade will feature healings, miracles and supernatural wonders and freedom from sins and there will be peace and prosperity in the land. We will be teaching the next face of love, mercy and compassion of God to the rest of the world.”
He added that, “God led us to choose Bori at this time for the Global Crusade. He is going to grant supernatural freedom to everyone present, to every family, to every communities, the state and to the rest of the world.”
On his love for the youths, he said, “Before I pass off the stage, I want to get the youths out of where they are to the pinnacle of success where they ought to be”.
