Description
7 million attend Festival of Blessings in Bangalore, January 21-23
The first service of the greatly anticipated Festival of Blessings in Bangalore, India, was held on January 21, 2005. The crowds began arriving at the Jakkur Airport Grounds early on Friday morning for the evening service. This 215 acre complex had been prepared for the massive gathering through months of diligent efforts by the Festival of Blessings Event Committee, Benny Hinn Ministries staff, and more than 25,000 volunteers. When work began in August 2004, much of the area was covered by weeds and grass reaching four feet high. But when hundreds of thousands of people began entering the grounds in a river of humanity that flowed for hours down the roads of Bangalore, they found a field cleared, leveled.
More than 60 large video screens were constructed so that no matter where a person was seated�whether in the 300,000 chairs that had been brought in from all over the country or on the ground where carpeting had been securely placed�they had a virtual front row seat to view the images transmitted by the eight video cameras manned by the ministry�s television crew.
When the service began shortly after dark, official estimates placed the number of people who had already found their place in the vast area at more than 1.5 million. As the 2,100-voice choir began to minister, the people kept streaming into the area, and by the time the service was less than an hour old, more than 2 million were lifting their hands and praising God.
