To end the evening, Gary sang “Shout for Joy,” finishing with a heartfelt version of Elevation Worship’s “The Blessing” alongside RJ Dela Fuente and all the artists who performed that night.
Peter Kairuz prayed and reminded the crowd, “Be expectant and have faith in what God can do! If He gave His life for us, He would also care about our desires. If He sacrificed for our sins, we could trust that He hears our prayers. Believe that He wants to bless us beyond measure!”
Gelaine Resurreccion, one of the concertgoers, shared that the worship celebration deeply touched her heart.
“What resonated with me was when Pastor Erick said that ‘God knows everything about what you can’t express, and He understands your pain. In your silence, He keeps working.’ I am so thankful because through this concert, I experienced God’s restoration and love again.”
We praise God for His goodness and faithfulness to CBN Asia for the past 30 years! A heartfelt thank you to everyone who celebrated with us. To continue supporting God’s work through CBN Asia, we invite you to partner with us, visit cbnasia.com/give.
