The city of Manchester came alive on Saturday, May 18, as worshippers from across the UK and Nigeria gathered for “In His Presence 4.0”, a spirit-filled evening of praise, worship, and fellowship hosted by Minister Bola Ayànfé.

The gathering attracted a diverse audience, including notable figures from Nigeria—top government officials, pastors—and the UK, further solidifying the event’s growing reputation as a major fixture in the international Christian worship calendar.

A Night of Spirit and Sound
Led by Bola Ayànfé, who also serves as the convener of the event, the atmosphere was one of deep spiritual engagement.

The event featured live praise sessions, soul-lifting worship, and messages of hope anchored in biblical truth. DJ Abioye and event host Femi Adesanya added vibrancy to the 19th-hole-style celebration, blending musical excellence with joyful celebration.

Worship Without Borders
New Daily Prime spoke briefly with one of the invited guests, Prince Ademola Frederick, who described his experience during the praise and worship session.
