The event, held at the ECWA Bishara Church, capped off six days of devoted fasting and prayer by Christians from across the state, uniting under CAN’s banner despite their minority status in the largely Muslim region.
This annual tradition serves as both a spiritual reset for the new year and a collective recommitment of the nation’s destiny to God. Attendees, representing diverse Christian denominations, emphasized their conviction that prayer remains a potent force against Nigeria’s most urgent struggles: rampant insecurity, worsening hunger, and a leadership vacuum. Many echoed the sentiment that progress hinges on solidarity—transcending religion, politics, and ethnic divides—to forge peace and unity.
The 2026 edition, themed “O Lord, Enlarge My Coast,” blended worship and musical performances, symbolizing a cry for expanded opportunities, national renewal, and a shared vision for growth. The atmosphere was one of resilience, with participants underscoring faith as their anchor amid turmoil and their refusal to let differences overshadow common hopes for a better Nigeria.
