I had the privilege of attending and speaking at the Every Nation West Africa conference in Lagos Nigeria last week, and what an incredible experience it was! Hosts Pastor Sam & Grace Aiyedogbon have been good friends of ours for many years and do a fantastic job of leading in that region. This was Africa passion and praise at its finest. We all had our speaking and workshop input and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive, but Pastor Rice Broocks delivered some of his finest preaching (can’t wait to have him at our West Europe SHINE conference in London in October). He also wrote 2 incredible songs right at the conference which brought the house down. Below in one photo he is conducting a spontaneously formed mass youth choir singing his “Africa will be saved” song – it was an incredible moment! I’ll let the pictures tell the rest of the story, except to say that in my books Lagos now gets my gold medal for the most chaotic traffic in the world! (With the silver going to Xi’an China, and the bronze to Manila, Philippines!)
I’m still trying to upload some crazy traffic & crazy praise videos, but here are some pics…
Lagos wins my gold medal for "the most chaotic traffic in the world!"There is no passion like Africa passion!
Praise passion in Africa!
There is no passion like Africa passion!
This is Africa!

Sadly, this is the state of the local school playing field right next to the church...
Thank you Pastor Sam & Grace and your whole team of great men & women who did an incredible job – Africa is the better for all of you!
