Mega International Conference Concludes in London

The 15th annual International Gathering of Champions (ICOG) conference wrapped up yesterday with a Praise Celebration night at Kingsway International Christian Centre (KICC) in Hackney, London.

Worship was led by the KICC choir, gospel favourite Judy Jacobs and American gospel singer Martha Munizzi, amongst many more.

Thousands danced and shouted out as they celebrated the presence of God at the 12,000 seat-capacity tent, located at KICC’s headquarters in Waterden Road.
This year’s theme was ‘Kingdom, Power and Glory’, as congregants focused on the ‘dominion authority of believers'.

Held from 20 to 27 August, the conference is now establishing a reputation within the Christian community — both in the UK and globally — as thousands of people from around the world attended the event.
