On 12 October 2024, the Extol Ministry celebrated its mission with a vibrant concert at Christian Fellowship Church, drawing in a community eager for spiritual rejuvenation. The event featured an array of talented artists, showcasing their gifts and uniting attendees in a powerful celebration of faith and harmony.

Hosted by Acheam Januarie, the concert aimed to uplift and encourage the local community, reaffirming the ministry’s commitment to restoring faith and healing brokenness. Acheam, at just 20 years old, has already made significant strides in ministry, driven by a deep sense of purpose and a strong connection to his faith.

“It fills my heart with joy to see my child following God’s purpose, a calling that I knew was placed on his life even while he was still in my womb,” shared Althea Januarie, Acheam’s mother. “Watching all my children worship God fills me with deep gratitude. I thank God every day for their lives and the blessing of seeing them walk with Him.”

In a world where many feel disconnected from the church, Extol Ministry stands as a beacon of hope, reminding us that true healing and restoration begin when we embrace God’s love and guidance. As they move forward, the commitment to worship, repentance, prayer, and fasting remains at the core of their mission, inviting all to join them in this transformative journey.

The concert featured an impressive lineup of performances, including the Extol Choir, Pastor Naomi Keet, and Alton Zakay. Each artist contributed to an atmosphere charged with spiritual energy and reverence. “This is more than just a concert; it’s an experience of God’s presence,” said Alton Zakay, who performed his uplifting songs that resonated deeply with the audience. “We’re here to reach hearts and souls, and that’s what Extol is all about.”

The event was not only a musical celebration but also a declaration of the ministry’s vision. Acheam emphasized the need for a community that understands the true essence of faith, stating, “Extol is about imperfect Christians committed to renewing their covenant with God. Our mission is to save souls and restore faith within our community. We believe that the church doesn’t break people—people do. We want to rehabilitate that faith.”

As the evening progressed, the audience was treated to powerful messages interwoven with heartfelt worship. Pastor André Macelli, the MC for the night, guided the crowd with his charisma, while Pastor Arrie led the offering, reinforcing the importance of generosity in the Christian faith.

Charnelle Januarie, Acheam’s sister and organizer of the concert, reflected on the impact of the event. “Seeing Acheam reach this level of success speaks volumes about the grace on his life,” she shared. “Extol is a barrier-breaking ministry. It’s not just about hearing God; it’s about experiencing Him. There are many people who are spiritually gifted, but having the anointing is what truly matters. My brother has been anointed for a time such as this.”

This sentiment was echoed by Mellison-Ann Snyders, an affiliate of Extol, who emphasized the community’s need for a space of healing and acceptance. “What we’re doing here is more than just music; it’s a movement toward restoration.”

The concert also featured performances from various artists, including Chanelle Januarie (Spoken word artist) Dean Theys, Farial Williams, Anslin Gysman, Jody Pietersen, and Lorenzo Grispe. Each artist brought their unique flair to the stage, captivating the audience with their worship and praise.

Reflecting on the night, Acheam expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support and enthusiasm from attendees. “The energy in this room is electric! It’s heartening to see so many young people hungry for the presence of God,” he said. “Our approach at Extol courts a relationship with the Holy Spirit, and tonight is a testament to what God can do when we gather in His name.”

The concert was not just a showcase of talent but a clarion call for community engagement in spiritual matters. Acheam and the Extol team are committed to creating a nurturing environment where individuals can heal from past hurts and build a robust relationship with God.

“Thank you to all the sponsors and people whom helped out with the concert. The sponsors are; Iconik, Sliqued by nique and mirrored by Roche,” said Minister Acheam Januarie.
