From Living Room Worship to Global Movement
The Hallelujah Challenge began in 2017 as a spontaneous Instagram Live session led by Nathaniel Bassey.
What started as a quiet act of worship in his living room has since grown into one of the largest online Christian gatherings in the world.
The movement has continued to expand each year, drawing millions who come together to sing, pray, and share testimonies of deliverance and miracles.

“Every time we lift our voices, we witness God move in powerful ways that transcend borders and denominations.”
He added that the movement’s growing impact proves that the power of collective worship remains strong in the digital age.
