This year, the praise experience had exceptional ministers such as; Pastor Paul Adefarasin (the host) and Nathaniel Bassey, Judikay, Moses Bliss, Mercy Chinwo.
One of the highlights of the night was when Pastor Paul got the crowd aggressively shouting as he applauded Moses Bliss for his soul-lifting ministration.
Addressing Moses Bliss, Adefarasin took to the podium and announced that he will give “church boys” in music the opportunities that secular musicians get, stressing that he won’t let secular musicians “steal church boys” with enticing offers.
The cleric said, “I need some strong business people to say we are going to take this Gospel Music to the best quality that it can get to and we are happy to be part of that process to scout for the very best engineers that we use; all my networks and contacts elsewhere in the world, we’ll look for the other guys because I am not going to let them steal church boys and they do secular music while church guys aren’t getting the same opportunity.
“These guys have the beat. I’ve heard beats here that will sell and I don’t need them only in ministry. If the ministry is bringing Jesus in, then they deserve to have (an) industry. I don’t need any of them to be poor so that they are wealthy enough to sponsor networks and collaborations the way that African-Americans are doing there. So that they have industry and can control the vastness of the sector.”
