This June, the Eighth Annual Christian Music Festival brought the gospel, and a day packed with worship, to downtown Toronto.

“It was amazing to watch the crowd worship the Lord, and to be able to go up on stage and share a couple stories of impact,” said Jeff Cornfoot, Regional Manager of Ontario with ShareWord Global.

“It was really great to see everyone come together.”

This year, ShareWord Global was proud to be one of the main sponsors of the event, which meant members of the team were able to get on the stage and share some of the impactful stories of God working through the ministry.

“It was out in the open, in the public, where everyone could hear the gospel,” Jeff said.

“It was a really great atmosphere to hear everyone just worshipping the Lord.”

The festival was founded in 2016 by Jay and Molly Banerjei who are a part of Global Kingdom Ministries, one of our Global Church Partners, and has grown steadily over the last few years. This year’s event drew in an audience of over 20,000 people and saw upwards of 250 artists take the stage.

This provided a unique opportunity for believers from around the Greater Toronto Area to hear how they can partner with ShareWord Global to tell the world about Jesus!

“There were a lot of people who were wanting to know who we are and what we are about. The event is geared towards evangelism, so we had a lot of people interested in what we do,” Jeff said.

“We teach, empower, and equip people to go out and share the gospel, which isn’t something a lot of organizations do. There were other Christian organizations asking if we could be a part of their event as well.”

Overall, it was a wonderful day of worship, dance, unity, and Christian culture!
