The late televangelist’s widow Evelyn Joshua who has reportedly taken over leadership of the church, led the candlelight procession.
Evelyn and different church ministers spoke on Prophet T.B Joshua’s humble beginnings before leading the procession on the same path the late preacher walked every day on the walkway of prayer at the Synagogue.
