After resting for a while we were taken to the Venue of the Premiere (an open field in a School). We met organizers and just very few people on ground. I didn’t see rented chairs. I asked and one of them said, no rented chairs in the village and that there is no need for chairs. I became uncomfortable. Few minutes later, we saw people young and old coming in groups from different directions,’’ he disclosed.
Gbogiri further reports that some people were seen carrying local stool and chairs on their heads. Many of them came from neighboring villages Djidagba, Towi, Missebo
which are 5km, 7km and 10 km away. Just within a few minutes a large audience. Some sat on the stools, and chairs they brought, some spread wrappers while others sat on the floor.

The people were captivated and engrossed by the message of the movie. Some were seen praying on their own, a few were seen shedding tears. From time to time, before the end of the movie, the audience were taken through powerful prayer sessions.
“I was amazed to see the way these people were praying including children. I have never seen anything like that before. The Programme ended at 10pm and was surprised that no one left. They all waited till the end. At the end of the movie, more than 70 people gave their lives to Christ and many rededicated their lives to Jesus.
