Reactions As Apostle Joshua Selman, Nathaniel Bassey Shut Down Biggest Indoor Arena In UK

In the early hours of today, May 12th, one of the trending topics on the microblogging site, Twitter was Apostle Joshua Selman.

Salman is the founder of Koinonia, a ministry currently held in two states: Kaduna state (Zaria) and Abuja (FCT) in Nigeria.

Joshua Salman’s trend was primarily because of the mammoth crowd that graced his programme, the United Kingdom Apostolic Conference which was held on the 10th and 11th of May, 2023.

The conference saw the shutting down of the venue, AO Arena, Manchester, said to be the biggest indoor arena in the UK with a 21,000 sitting capacity.

Salman and Pastor Nathaniel Bassey were said to have rented out the venue without an entry fee or offering.

What appears to have surprised many people mostly Nigerians on the bird app, is the fact that the programme was not even an entertainment show, known for pulling such crowds.

Some of Twitter users expressed joy for such a feat attained by Apostle Salman and Pastor Bassey.

They also appreciated God for using the duo in propagating the gospel to the world.

Below are some of the reactions by Twitter users.

“I can’t imagine the funds that would have gone into the revival conference in the UK by Apostle Joshua Selman & his team.

“It’s always been my heart’s desire to have bastard money to hugely fund mission work all over the world. There is nothing like giving for the gospel.”
