From Thanksgiving to Breakthroughs: FANO Ushers in 2025 with The Night of Answers and Gospel Song of the Year Awards (G-SOY) Grand Finale
Pretoria West, South Africa – Freedom for All Nations Outreach (FANO) is ushering in the New Year with a series of spiritually charged events that have captivated worshippers across South Africa and beyond. Starting with a heartfelt Thanksgiving Service and culminating in the much-anticipated Crossover Service, the ministry is ending 2024 on a note of gratitude, worship, and spiritual empowerment.
On Sunday, December 29, 2024, FANO’s headquarters in Pretoria West were filled with an atmosphere of praise and thanksgiving. Themed “Oh Lord, I Am Grateful,” the Thanksgiving Service served as a moment for congregants to reflect on God’s blessings throughout the year.
Delivering a stirring sermon, General Overseer Prophet Samuel Akinbodunse emphasized the importance of gratitude and warned against the dangers of ingratitude toward God and fellow humans.
“This is a moment to pause and acknowledge the unfailing grace of God in our lives,” Prophet Akinbodunse said.
The service was marked by powerful testimonies of healing, deliverance, salvation, and an overwhelming sense of God’s glory, setting the tone for the ministry’s upcoming events.
Anticipation is now building for FANO’s annual Crossover Service, scheduled for Wednesday, December 31, 2024. Known as “The Night of Answers,” this spiritually charged event is a highlight for the ministry, drawing worshippers from across South Africa and neighboring countries.
Prophet Akinbodunse, renowned for his impactful prophetic ministry, will lead the congregation through a night of intense worship, prayer, and prophetic declarations.
“This is not just another service; it’s a night where destinies are rewritten, and prayers receive answers,” he said.
The service begins at 7:00 PM, with gates opening early to accommodate the anticipated large crowd. Attendance is free, and worshippers are encouraged to arrive on time.
Adding to the evening’s excitement is the Grand Finale of the Gospel Song of the Year (G-SOY) Awards, a celebration of gospel music excellence. The competition features ten finalists who will minister live, with one emerging as the G-SOY titleholder.
“This isn’t just a music event—it’s an opportunity for gospel artists to inspire souls and glorify God through their talents,” Prophet Akinbodunse remarked.
The G-SOY Awards have become a signature event, drawing gospel music enthusiasts and worshippers eager to experience soul-stirring performances. The finale promises a night of deep worship and mega praise, creating a fitting close to an extraordinary year.
FANO’s Cross Over service aims to help worshippers realign with God’s purpose and step into the New Year with renewed faith and prophetic insight.
“These services are a time to realign with God’s purpose and step boldly into the New Year with faith,” Prophet Akinbodunse said.
Through heartfelt gratitude in the Thanksgiving Service, the prophetic declarations of the Crossover Service, and the soul-stirring worship of the G-SOY Awards, FANO is ensuring that 2024 ends on a high note of spiritual renewal and celebration.
Worshippers are invited to join the ministry in closing the year with gratitude and entering 2025 with spiritual empowerment and divine purpose.
