- Through that, to enhance the life and witness of the church
- To be a visible sign of the unity we cherish as a church across ethnic, language or cultural backgrounds.
The preachers who were present at this convention are :

- Sis. Nirmala (India)
- Pas. Alex (India)

The convention consisted of bible studies, worship and singing sessions, workshops, discussions, silent prayer sessions, and many other progammes. A procession of witnesses was also organized which turned out to be a very enjoyable event for everyone.
In addition to strengthening and revitalizing the prayer lives of many, this convention provided the participants with the opportunity to work together and build relationships with other Methodists from around the country. At the end of the convention, many participants accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour, and committed their lives to full-time ministry service or to prayer ministry service.
