At the countdown, the crowd’s energy began to electrify. Drums rolling, feet stamping, crowds roaring—the opening number of EN2010 really shook the house!

Levels 1 and 3 of the SMX Convention Center were packed with 18,000 people from forty-seven nations on Day 1.

EN2010 opened with a music video of the conference theme song, God Who Reigns, sung by members of our churches from all around the world.

The Parade of Nations followed soon after. Cheers and applause were given to about 2,000 delegates from over forty-seven nations who marched in the parade.

“You cannot be offended and anointed at the same time. Move on!”

–Grace Aiyedogbon

First speaker, Grace Aiyedogbon shared a message titled, The Banquet Table of the Lord, and said, “None of you will go back home the same way you came in!”

Seven students from Myanmar, New Zealand, South Africa, US, Dubai and Manila shared moving salvation testimonies.

Rice Broocks capped the night as he reminded us of our God-given stewardship and inspired us to reach the nations and the campuses for Christ.
