Leader of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) Pastor Evelyn Joshua was received with pomp and excitement on her arrival in Spain for a two-day crusade.
Locals gathered at Adolfo Suarez International Airport in Madrid to welcome her.
They formed a line holding the Nigerian and Spanish flags.
Some of them presented gifts and flowers to her.
Children even entertained her with traditional Spanish dance moves.
Some of them carried banners with the inscription ‘Welcome, Pastor Evelyn Joshua to our nation Spain’.
Evelyn beamed with smiles as she acknowledged their effort in giving her a heartwarming welcome.
The cleric shook hands with some of her well-wishers as her car drove off slowly.
SCOAN announced its leader’s arrival in Spain with photos and videos posted on social media on Thursday, 24 hours before the crusade kicks off.
The church announced her arrival by first quoting its late founder Prophet TB Joshua who said: “In order for this generation to accept Jesus Christ, they must see proof that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever.”
It added, “The time has come for the nation of Spain to experience the power of the Holy Spirit in a tremendous way. Witness the arrival of Pastor Evelyn Joshua in the nation of Spain, as she is warmly received by multitudes waiting in anticipation for a touch from Heaven that will change their lives for good, in the name of Jesus Christ.”
It is Evelyn’s first crusade outside the shores of Nigeria since taking the reins at the Lagos-based megachurch in September 2021 after the death of her husband.
The church will broadcast the crusade live on Emmanuel TV.
