As part of activities marking its 2024 annual camp meeting, the Apostolic Faith Church in West and Central Africa (WECA), held its annual Musical Concert titled, “Our Gratitude”, at Faith City, Igbesa, Ogun State on Saturday, August 17, 2024.
In his welcome address, the WECA District Superintendent, Rev. Isaac Adigun, appreciated the attendees, both physical and online. He noted that this year’s concert was special as God gave the church a surprise, showing that as He was with the forefathers, He is working with Apostolic Faith Church even today, making reference to the tabernacle that the church was able to use for this year’s camp meeting.
