The gospel music group, Royal Melodies, has held a special evangelistic outreach at Deeper Life Bible Church, Uwa District, located at No. 10 Agadagudu Street, off TV Road, Benin City.
The programme, held on Sunday, June 28, 2026, brought together a large congregation of worshippers and attracted several new converts through gospel music ministrations and evangelism.
The outreach featured Bible quiz competitions for both the English and Yoruba congregations, special musical performances by Royal Melodies and a free eye screening and medical check-up for church members and invited guests.
Founder of Royal Melodies, Olayiwola Afolabi, SAN, presented seven laptops to members of the music group as a reward for their dedication, noting that the gifts would be distributed in batches until every member receives one.
He also donated a brand-new smartphone to the District Pastor of Uwa District, Pastor Abiodun Ogedengbe, while seven solar-powered fans and other gift items were presented to pastors and the families of some Royal Melodies members.
Winners of the Bible quiz competition received prizes including bags of rice, bags of garri, Bibles, cash, and dollar-denominated awards, while every new convert was presented with a copy of the Holy Bible and Christian literature.
Olayiwola Afolabi, SAN, expressed gratitude over the number of people who gave their lives to Christ and urged the new converts to remain steadfast in their Christian faith.
