Popular Nigerian clergyman, Apostle Joshua Selman, is currently trending on social media after he shut down the biggest indoor arena in the United Kingdom (UK).
Apostle Selman, who is the founder and Senior Pastor of the Eternity Network International based in Abuja, Nigeria, hosted one of the biggest Christian events in the UK, alongside gospel minister, Nathaniel Bassey.
The two-day event tagged “Sound of Revival” was held on May 10th and 11th at the 21,000 capacity venue, AO Arena, in Manchester, United Kingdom, and was attended by thousands of people from various countries across the UK and Europe.
The programme is currently the trending topic on social media, with many marveling at how the arena was filled to the brim, despite being a religious event and not an entertainment concert.
Others lauded Apostle Joshua Selman and Nathaniel Bassey for renting the biggest indoor venue in the UK, without soliciting funds, a special offering or selling tickets to attendees.

It has not been a common scene for people to gather in such number for the gospel in Europe.
Europe brought the gospel to Africa and Africa is taking the gospel back to Europe.

I can’t imagine the funds that would have gone into the revival conference in the UK by Apostle Joshua Selman & his team.
It’s always been my heart desire to have bastard money to hugely fund mission work all over the world.
There is nothing like giving for the gospel pic.twitter.com/eNWw8cgEkX
