Benin Hosts World Crusade with Kumuyi from 25 to 29 September 2026

Benin is preparing to host the World Crusade with Kumuyi (GCK) from 25 to 29 September 2026. The event will take place at the National Camp of the Bible Church of Life Profonde (Deeper Christian Life Ministry) in Sékou, located in the municipality of Allada, Atlantic Department. The announcement was made on 12 August 2026 during a press conference held in Cotonou at the headquarters of the Evangelical Church of the Assemblies of God of Jericho.

Placed under the theme “The divine visitation of the God of all possibilities,” the crusade aims to serve as a significant gathering for evangelization and the sharing of the Christian faith. According to Alfred Clovis Kpade, the national pastor of the biblical church of Deep Life in Benin, the event is not limited to the church of Dr. William F. Kumuyi but encompasses the entire Christian community. “When he comes to a country, he does not come for his church, but for the entire national community of the body of Christ,” he explained. The crusade is supported by the Confederation of Evangelical Churches of Benin.

In addition to the crusade, the program includes two other major activities at the Congress Hall. The Conference of Ministers, scheduled for 28 and 29 September starting at 8 a.m., will focus on “Completing the Ministry with the sky in view.” This conference will address workers, deacons, deaconesses, and assembly leaders, guided by the experience and teachings of Dr. William F. Kumuyi. The Youth Impact Academy, themed “Discovering the Key to Success,” will take place on Saturday, 26 September, starting at 7 a.m. The aim is to equip young people and encourage them to recognize their role in the future of the Church and society.

The GCK’s special feature is its retransmission system. The crusade in Benin will be broadcast live on the official platforms of Dr. William F. Kumuyi, including Facebook and YouTube, as well as via satellite to the rest of the world. National media are also invited to cover the event.

More than 5,000 participants, or at least 1,000 people each evening from 4 p.m., are expected at the Sékou site. This event reflects the collaborative efforts of various evangelical churches in Benin to promote spiritual growth and community engagement, aligning with Micah 6:8, which calls for action that embodies mercy, justice, and humility.
