The atmosphere was filled with God’s presence. 

"For 18 years, every September, he has embarked on this life-risking journey, not for applause or self-glorification but out of willingness and availability to fulfill God’s purpose of closing graves and establishing the altar of life, light, and immortality to bring men and women into the ark of preservation. "This is not just a fast, it is a sacrifice for destinies, families, and the body of Christ. And today, we rejoiced to welcome him back with great thanksgiving."
