|PIC1|Internationally renowned gospel recording artists Israel Houghton and Martha Munizzi will lead worship at the ‘International Gathering of Champions’ (IGOC) conference in August 20-27.

The artists will take stage at Kingsway International Christian Centre (KICC), alongside gospel singer Judy Jacobs and the highly praised KICC Mass Choir.

The international conference is now in its 15th year, establishing a reputation within the Christian community—both in the UK and globally— as thousands of people from around the world make their plans to attend.

The conference will bring together some of the most influential leaders, such as KICC’s very own Senior Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo, Dr Dipo Oluyomi and Bishop John Francis from the UK; Bishop Eddie Long, Dr Mike Murdock, Pastor Robb Thompson, Pastor Jamal Bryant and Marcus Lamb from the USA; and Pastor David Oyedepo and Bishop Tudor Bismark from Africa.

The event will take place in a specially erected 12,000 seat-capacity tent, located at KICC’s headquarters in Waterden Road. Since its inception, the numbers at IGOC have been increasing year after year, and it is anticipated that at least 160,000 people will attend this year’s conference.

This year’s conference entitled ‘Kingdom, Power and Glory’ will focus on the dominion authority of believers.

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."
