Curvine Brewington, a pastor at Crossroads Church in Lafayette, attended the free service. From the field, provided by Bethany Church, the church leader took to Instagram to extol the power and the presence of the Lord.
“Tonight, worship was lifted, the name of Christ was exalted, the Word of God was preached, a multitude prayed together, the Gospel was clearly proclaimed, and an opportunity to respond was given,” Brewington wrote on IG. “In a crowd of 6,000 people from all walks of life, all ages, and all races, I witnessed over 1,000 people respond to The Gospel by raising their hands to accept Jesus as their Lord & Savior! Say what you want & think what you want … But trust me when I tell you – The Spirit of the Living God was indeed present. I danced, wept, stood in awe of God’s redemptive work & can honestly say that tonight I witnessed a new wave of REVIVAL first hand.” Brewington ended the post with the hashtag #Jesusisking, which is the title of Kanye’s newest album, which he released on Oct. 25.
West, and roughly 80 members of his Sunday Service choir, opened with the song “Closed On Sunday” from West’s new album, which landed at number 1 on Billboard’s 200 Chart becoming West’s ninth consecutive album to do so, Hypebeast reported.
