The One Jesus One Church One Hallelujah Programme, an annual praise, worship, and humanitarian outreach initiative organized by popular gospel music minister Testimony Jaga, recorded another landmark outing as it held its sixth edition, impacting hundreds of lives through worship, empowerment, and social intervention.

The programme, which attracted a massive turnout, featured extended praise and worship sessions led by notable gospel ministers, including Minister Lilian Nneji, Esther Igbekele, Dare Justified, Elijah Daniel, and several other worship leaders who joined Testimony Jaga in leading the congregation to appreciate God through songs and thanksgiving.

Speaking during the event, Testimony Jaga stated that the Hallelujah Programme was established purely to glorify God and serve humanity.

“This programme is about lifting the name of Jesus and appreciating God. This is the sixth edition, and every year I intentionally invite ministers to come and help us worship God and thank Him for all He has done in our lives,” he said.

Unlike conventional gospel concerts, the Hallelujah Programme deliberately combines spiritual activities with structured humanitarian outreach. This year’s edition featured a children’s party, a free medical outreach, and a boxing programme, all designed to engage different segments of the community.

A major highlight of the event was the large-scale distribution of empowerment items and relief materials to beneficiaries drawn from the community and the general public. Items given out included tricycles, bicycles, mini buses, industrial sewing machines, deep freezers, grinding machines, and other valuable equipment aimed at supporting entrepreneurship, mobility, and self-reliance.

Explaining the motivation behind the outreach, Testimony Jaga revealed that the programme is closely tied to his personal background and ongoing scholarship initiative.

“I grew up in Alagbado, Lagos, and I currently have many students there under my scholarship programme. This Hallelujah Programme is anchored on that vision, giving hope, supporting education, and empowering people from the community that raised me,” he explained.

Jaga further disclosed that the initiative is largely self-sponsored, noting that no corporate or institutional body officially partnered with the programme.

“I am the only sponsor of this programme, with support from some of my church members. There is no organization partnering with us in funding or execution,” he said.

However, he acknowledged that some brands showed support through participation.

“We appreciate Kellogg’s and Indomie for lending their presence at the event. Their show of support encouraged the programme,” he added.

According to Testimony Jaga, the ultimate objective of the One Jesus Church Hallelujah Programme is community transformation through giving.

“The purpose is to touch lives and make a real impact in society. Worship should not end on the altar; it must reflect in how we give back and care for people,” he stated.

Beneficiaries and attendees described the programme as both spiritually uplifting and socially impactful, noting that the combination of worship, empowerment, and outreach set it apart from regular gospel events.

Over the years, the One Jesus Church Hallelujah Programme has continued to grow in scope and impact, establishing itself as a faith-driven platform for praise, compassion, and community development, while reinforcing Testimony Jaga’s message that true worship is expressed through service to humanity.
