Pastor Matthew commented on the event saying:
"The International Gathering of Champions will challenge every believer to rise up to a new level and declare victory in every area of life where there has been defeat. The believer’s heritage contains the promises of God and we aim to make sure every born again believer knows who they are in Christ and the privileges that they have in Jesus."
