There are not many adjectives that one can use to accurately describe The Experience 2016 fondly tagged, #TE11. Themed Revealing Jesus, it was an amazingly electrifying night and beyond phenomenal! The all night event was billed to officially kick off at 7pm but by 4pm, the venue (Tafawa Balewa Square – TBS) was more than halfway full. Here are our top 15 favorite moments from the memorable night.
REVEALING JESUS: Now, that’s how you open the world’s biggest concert! Just thinking about it gives goose bumps, watching Painter and Dancer, Ice create this painting live on the stage alongside one of the most beautiful songs, Hosanna In The Highest was nothing short beautiful and inspiring.Amazing praise in the house and one couldn’t help but give the best steps, David must have been very proud watching down from Heaven!
Convener & Founder of House on The Rock Church, Pastor Paul Adefarasin standing for the Nigerian National anthem after giving a brief but very powerful message. It was so good, Paul Adefarasin trended on Twitter world wide! ‘Every Christian ought to be multidimensional, with political, economic, social and spiritual influence. Christians should get involved in governance! Our nation deserves, not the worst leading the rest, but the best, serving the rest’ He said
Irrespective of church, denomination, religion and beliefs… Prayers went up in unisonArtistes representing the various parts of the Nigerian entertainment industry praising God was a good sight to behold.Nwando (Singer, HOTR) , Glowreeyah (Performing Gospel Artiste and HOTR singer), Micah Stampley and Donnie McClurkin coming together to give a beautiful rendition of the song, You Raise Me Up was one of the best moments of the nightTim Godfrey and his crew were so full of energy, they took the concert to another level. An adrenaline filled performance, it was truly an extreme praise!It was Samsong‘s first time performing at The Experience and he sure made good use of the opportunity. The audience couldn’t stop screaming when he brought out Chioma Jesus to do a special song, and boy did they do well!!Comedian, Akpororo was so funny, he was given extra time when his allotted time was up.A super super beautiful moment to see Don Moen and Frank Edwards sing together again. Everyone watching live and viewing from various parts of the world couldn’t stop talking about Don Moen singing in Igbo language so sweetly, Edwards must be an excellent teacher!Where does one start from in describing this session? You could feel the beauty of his heart as he sang song after song… It was so good to see over 700,000 people lifting up their hands chanting “oh.. oh..oh..” as he belted out his hit song, Intentional. Travis Greene arguably gave the top 2 favorite moments of TE11When Donnie McClurkin asked everyone to turn on the light in their phones and raise it upWith The Lights on, Cece Winans joined McClurkin on stage singing “Shine Your Light” in that soft and beautiful voice, it was magicalThat moment the crowd went truly radical as they sang along to Chioma Jesus‘ Radical for Jesus. You bet that Radical for Jesus trended on Twitter Nigeria and beyondGrand opening, Grand closing, Tope Alabi was trending hours before she got up the stage. She sang till every sleepy eye opened and every tired body got up to dance. She got her shot, she took it!
