Led by Pastor Agyemang Elvis, the two-day convocation, scheduled for December 30 and 31, marked a defining moment for the mostly online Christian community.
For the first time, Alpha Hour transitioned its digital fellowship into a massive in-person gathering, drawing thousands of worshippers from across the country.
Alpha Hour fills Accra Sports Stadium
From early hours on the first day, streams of believers trooped into the stadium, gradually filling the expansive venue.
The sight left many observers in awe, as the Accra Sports Stadium, estimated to hold about 40,000 people, became a sea of worship, prayer, and coordinated praise.
Beyond the stadium grounds, the convocation also maintained its digital connection.
What made the moment even more striking was the movement’s origin.
Alpha Hour rose to prominence through consistent online prayer sessions, particularly on YouTube and Facebook, where its “share the link” culture became a defining slogan.
The first night’s session was streamed live to global followers, recording over 261,000 views, while the Alpha Hour YouTube channel boasts more than 1.23 million subscribers.
Anticipation has also grown around the second day, with many wondering whether the closing session would draw an even larger crowd.
