The Newsong Concert by The Apostolic Church Nigeria, Lagos Metro, is an annual 12-hour praise and worship event that gathers worshippers from across the globe both physically and virtually for a powerful experience of continuous gospel music.
The concert has become a hallmark event for The Apostolic Church worldwide, drawing in not only the church's members but also a wider audience, both physically and online, with top gospel artists gracing the stage.
The vision of Newsong is deeply rooted in Psalm 96:1, which calls for a new song unto the Lord. It represents a desire to create an avenue where worshippers can come together to express heartfelt gratitude to God through music. The concert is not only about singing but also about raising a new sound of worship that reflects the power and presence of God in the lives of believers.
More than just a musical gathering, Newsong is designed to foster spiritual growth. Throughout the 12-hour experience, moments of prayer and intercession are woven into the program, providing an opportunity for personal reflection and corporate worship. Many testimonies of breakthrough, healing, and personal revival are often shared, highlighting the spiritual depth and significance of the event. Attendees leave refreshed, inspired, and with a renewed commitment to their faith.
With the growth of digital platforms, Newsong has expanded its reach beyond the physical congregation. Through live streaming, thousands of worshippers can join from different parts of the world, making it a global worship experience. This aspect of the concert has significantly broadened its impact, allowing those who are not physically present to still be a part of the worship experience, sharing in the praises and blessings.
The future of Newsong looks bright, with plans to continue evolving and reaching more people through music and worship. Each year brings new surprises, new artists, and fresh worship experiences. As the event grows, so does its impact, bringing more people to a closer relationship with God through the power of praise and worship.
