Pastor Paul Adefarasin has said this year’s edition of The Experience is a platform preparing African youth for leadership, noting that the concert’s unity and worship atmosphere expose participants to “divine training.” Speaking at a news conference in Lagos, he said the event, themed “Jesus United,” marks 20 years of evangelism and showcases the creative strength needed to re-engineer Nigeria and Africa. He also praised the artists who have shaped the concert since inception.
Adefarasin described The Experience as a space where God equips young people to confront long-standing challenges, saying “God’s response to praise and worship is visionary leadership.” He lamented Africa’s underdevelopment but said the concert lays a foundation for youth-led transformation across all sectors. The House on the Rock Church assured tight security for Friday’s event at TBS, which will feature Travis Greene, Mercy Chinwo, Sinach, Dunsin Oyekan, Chandler Moore, and other top gospel artists.
