According to the church, Prophet T.B Joshua had sent a delegation from Nigeria to take part in activities leading to the memorial.
T.B. Joshua, who described deceased as Martyrs of Faith, maintained that they were on an appointment with God when they met their death and therefore believes that they did not die in vain.
He however called on the entire SCOAN family all over the world to join forces to pray for the repose of the souls of their departed
