I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to attend Assembly ’26. It was a time of spiritual renewal, encouragement, and experiencing the tangible presence of the Holy Spirit in powerful ways.

There was a clear sense of God’s presence among his people. The worship created an atmosphere where hearts were drawn toward the Lord in reverence, gratitude, and expectation. As Scripture reminds us, “For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them” (Matt. 18:20). This verse encouraged me to attend the conference. I told my husband that I will go to Assembly to be in the presence of the Lord and his people. God met me there through the messages that were shared bringing conviction, comfort, renewed faith, and fresh strength for the journey ahead.

Beyond the platform, I experienced the ministry of the Holy Spirit through the other believers who attended. The love of Christ was evident in the way people cared for one another. I received healing hugs, sincere words of encouragement, heartfelt prayers, spoken blessings, and personal testimonies through which God ministered to me. Listening, praying, and speaking life demonstrated the unity and compassion of the body of Christ.

The testimonies shared throughout the week were especially encouraging. Hearing how God has been faithful in the lives of his people strengthened my own faith and reminded me that he continues to heal, restore, provide, and transform lives. These testimonies inspired hope and renewed confidence in God’s continuing work among his people.

I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation to the event organizers, bishops, pastors, great worship leaders, volunteers, and everyone who worked diligently behind the scenes. Thank you to pastors Dawn and Chris Landes, you did a great job! Everyone’s countless hours of planning, preparation, hospitality, and faithful service created an environment where people could encounter God without distraction.

I left the conference spiritually refreshed, encouraged, and thankful for all that God accomplished through worship, his Word, and his people. My prayer is that the seeds planted during this gathering will continue to bear fruit in the lives of everyone who attended, leading us to love Christ more deeply and to serve others with greater compassion and faithfulness.

To God be all the glory for his faithfulness and for the work of his Holy Spirit among his people.
