The fifth edition, themed “Night of Impact, Honour and Excellence,” is being jointly organised by the management of VENO International Magazine and Voice of Edification, Newness and Oneness (VENO) Ministry, popularly known as Mountain of Covenant.
The annual event, which has continued to attract gospel ministers, Christian faithful, community leaders and distinguished personalities, promises to be a memorable gathering of worship, praise, spiritual impartation and appreciation of outstanding contributions to society.

Among the prominent gospel artistes expected to minister at the event are celebrated gospel singer Esther Dabira, talented saxophonist Tom Sax, the VENO Golden Voice Choir, Mrs. Deborah Abodunrin, and Sola, the Ewi exponent, alongside other invited gospel performers.
The artistes are already warming up for what organisers describe as an extraordinary night of inspirational music, powerful worship and divine encounters.
The Special Guest Minister, Pastor Alexander Akinpelu, is also expected to deliver a spiritually uplifting message during the programme.
OFFICIAL UNVEILING OF VENO MINISTRY
Speaking on preparations for the event, the Presiding Bishop of VENO Ministry and Publisher of VENO International Magazine, Bishop Dr. Sanya Ojo, popularly known as Anjonu Eledumare SOMH, disclosed that this year’s edition would be unique and historic.
According to the cleric, the event will mark the formal public unveiling of the ministry’s new identity, following its transition from VENO Prayer Centre to the fully registered Voice of Edification, Newness and Oneness (VENO) Ministry.
He explained that the transformation represents a significant milestone in the ministry’s spiritual journey and its commitment to evangelism, humanitarian services, community development and the propagation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Bishop Ojo stated:
“This year’s VENO Experience is going to be unique in many ways. Apart from the spiritual blessings and powerful ministrations that participants will experience, we shall officially unveil VENO Ministry to the public.
“We have moved from being a prayer centre to a ministry with a broader vision and greater responsibility in the vineyard of God.
“It is a new beginning, a new chapter and a renewed commitment to the service of God and humanity.”

DOUBLE ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION

The Bishop further revealed that the occasion would commemorate two important milestones: the 15th anniversary of VENO International Magazine and the 10th anniversary of VENO Ministry.
He noted that the magazine has, over the years, contributed to journalism, public enlightenment, religious communication and the promotion of personalities making meaningful contributions to national development.
In the same vein, the ministry’s decade-long journey has been characterised by prayer, evangelism, spiritual counselling, humanitarian outreach and community service.
According to him, the double anniversary provides an opportunity to appreciate God’s faithfulness and recognise individuals who have supported the vision over the years.
PROMINENT NIGERIANS TO RECEIVE HONOURS
Another major highlight of VENO Experience 2026 will be the presentation of special honours and recognition awards to selected prominent Nigerians who have distinguished themselves in their respective fields.
Bishop Ojo explained that the recognition ceremony would celebrate excellence, dedication, leadership, philanthropy and outstanding contributions to humanity.
“We believe that honour should be given to whom honour is due. As we celebrate 15 years of our publication and 10 years of our ministry, we shall recognise deserving Nigerians whose contributions have positively impacted society.
“VENO Experience 2026 is not just another programme. It is a celebration of God’s faithfulness, human excellence and the beginning of greater things to come,” he declared.
A NIGHT TO REMEMBER
The organising team is intensifying preparations to ensure a successful and memorable celebration, with arrangements covering music ministrations, guest reception, spiritual activities and the awards ceremony.
The event is expected to bring together religious leaders, gospel artistes, media practitioners, business personalities, community stakeholders and worshippers from different parts of the country.

Members of the public, friends of VENO International Magazine, ministry partners and Christian faithful are warmly invited to participate in the historic occasion.
