Port Harcourt, the capital of Rivers State, witnessed a massive show of faith and youthful energy as thousands of young people and members of the Deeper Life Bible Church poured into the streets for a large-scale rally ahead of the forthcoming Global Crusade with Kumuyi (GCK) 2026.
The rally, led by church leaders including the Zonal Coordinating Overseer, Pastor Pius Idume, was organized to publicize the Global Crusade with Kumuyi scheduled to hold from February 25 to March 1, 2026. The crusade will take place at the Deeper Life Campground, East-West Road, Rumuodara, Port Harcourt, with the theme “Turning Point.”
