They installed sound and light equipment and also TV equipment for video shooting and for live broadcasting of the Festival through the Internet. As soon as preparation was concluded, people began to enter the hall, which was filled as more and more people were coming to the Festival.

The meeting of Jesus Festival began with driving Ukrainian songs when singers and all who were present praised Jesus for what He has done for every person, as He gave His life for the redemption of sins of the whole humanity. Then there was presented a video about Christ for all Cities Ministries and about Jesus Festivals. Pastor from town Kalush of Ivano-Frankivsk region shared his testimony about miraculous healing from cancer. Finally, after several melodious songs, Pastor Henry Madava was invited to the platform.

He preached about the Love of our Heavenly Father to every person. By the example of the story described in Mark 9:17-27, Pastor Henry explained that the Lord loves to save people from their pits of problems and sin. There is nothing impossible with God! Jesus died and rose again so that everyone who believes in Him could have a life and salvation. Upon that Pastor Henry made an altar call for people to reconcile with God by saying a prayer of repentance. Many people responded to Pastor's call,they came forward to the altar and invited Jesus to come into their hearts. Every person who accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior has also receiveda free gift – a New Testament and the book of Pastor Henry called “Saved! Let's lay the Foundation”.

Thereafter the prayer for healing followed. Pastor Henry prayed from the platform and people were receiving their miracles when they lifted their hands up toward God. Many people received their healing!
