CONFERENCE ATTENDANCE AND IMPACT
The Conference was a powerful conduit through which the manifestation of God’s presence and healing power kept flowing through the believers hence bringing deliverance among them from all kinds of bondage and oppression.  A total of 437 people were in attendance during the 4 days conference. During the message on Marriage as God intended, the participants were challenged not to complicate marriage by having big weddings and demand for dowry by family members. These practices plus others tend to complicate what God has made simple and encourages people to live in sin which as a result weakens the impact of the church. In response to the message, 16 couples stepped forward and the marriage was sanctified in the sight of God. This brought joy to the church and glory God as the couples came forward to make vows and receive their certificate from Abundant Life International Ministries.

COMMUNITY MINISTRY
During the week of ministry, the local pastors carried on the community work by visiting the hospital and some local health centers where they prayed with the sick and presented to them gifts of milk soap and sugar. The other team of local pastors moved within the conference neighborhood visiting the elderly and the sick. They prayed with them and offered them a food pack consisting of rice, Sugar and cooking oil. During the outreach, 6 people responded to the loving gospel by giving their lives to Jesus Christ as the personal Lord and savior.

RADIO PROGRAM
Besides the conference sessions during the day, there was a live radio preaching and teaching of the word that went on for three days. The radio coverage reaches millions of people within the radius of 80kms. The response to the message was overwhelming as many people kept calling in to appreciate the teachings, while other called in to give prayer requests for various needs. Two people at different times called in and confessed Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and savior.
