Chevelle to perform at massive Nigeria concert

International artiste and minister, Chevelle Franklyn, currently in South Africa recording and visiting various media houses, prepares to leave for her annual trip to Lagos, Nigeria, to minister at what is arguably the largest gospel concert in the world.

Franklyn is making her fourth trip to The Experience, a concert that expects a crowd of more than 500,000 people.

The Experience is convened and hosted by Pastor Paul Adefarasin of House on the Rock. It is an interdenominational gospel concert which features some of the best-known musical talent of this era.

The event, which debuted in December 2006 with more than 70,000 persons in attendance, rapidly gained momentum at its second outing with a quantum leap in attendance of well over 250,000 people.

With unprecedented crowds estimated at 500,000, The Experience has now become known as the largest musical concert in Africa.

Uniquely, the event runs through the night, beginning at 7 p.m. on Friday and running until 6 a.m. Saturday.

Franklyn holds a special special place in her heart for Africa, 'The Pleasant Land', and enjoys the diversity of the culture, the gifts and talent of the people along with their intense passion and love for the Lord.

In November, Franklyn went to Ghana where she ministered at the Destiny Summit, an annual conference hosted by Dr Mensa Otabil. More than 20,000 people were on hand to hear Franklyn.

"I am looking forward to 2013 with great expectation as God continues to open great and effective doors. I will be releasing my new album, which features Grammy-Award winning Israel Houghton, Pastor Donnie McClurkin and also Lionel Peterson from South Africa. There are already talks of Australia, Japan and India ... for he has anointed me to minister to nations," said a beaming but grateful Franklyn.
