85 Hours Marathon Messiah’s Praise: a global worship experience
Marathon Messiah’s Praise is an annual gospel event with the sole purpose of praising God. It is where people from different spheres of life come together seeking to praise and worship God non-stop.
The event was birthed on 2 March 2012 to celebrate God’s faithfulness in the life of Pastor E. A. Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God.
Our primary objective is to birth a new pattern of worship in this dispensation, and to expand the kingdom of God through soul-winning.
