Apostle Grace Lubega leading his team to clap for Jesus
SHARE

In an awe-inspiring moment of triumph, Apostle Grace Lubega, the Patron for Phaneroo Ministries has transcended all expectations, surpassing the prestigious Guinness World Record, with an unparalleled display of applause.

His remarkable achievement that was garnered on July 30th, 2023 at Uganda Manufacturers Association (UMA) showgrounds in Lugogo, Kampala  left audiences astounded and cemented his place in history as a true applause maestro.

For three hours and twenty minutes, Apostle Lubega and his team achieved something truly monumental for Jesus. They embarked on a challenge to clap nonstop for Jesus, without any vocal noises, musical instruments, or mechanical aid.

The dedication and determination displayed by Apostle Grace and his team during this challenge were awe-inspiring.

In the UMA multipurpose hall, hundreds of official participants clapped for Jesus, while thousands more gathered in the overflow tent and parking lot to praise, dance, and pray as they cheered on the team.

The event also transcended physical boundaries, with several others from around the world joining in via live video feed in a show of solidarity.

What makes this achievement even more remarkable is the unwavering energy and intensity of the participants throughout the challenge.

Despite the passing time, their clapping remained spirited, demonstrating joy and sheer delight on their faces as they clapped in unison.

Although it might take time to fully comprehend the spiritual implications of this event, there’s no denying that God’s presence was deeply felt.

The primary purpose of Apostle Grace and his team in taking on this world record challenge was to glorify God, and they did so wholeheartedly.

As the world awaits official communication from the Guinness World Record team, it is clear that this endeavor was more than just clapping for three hours and twenty minutes; it was a powerful message to the world about their faith and devotion to the Lord Jesus.

While addressing the media on the sidelines of the event, Apostle Lubega envisioned that the longest applause in history will not be for himself or any earthy achievement, but rather for the devine presence of Jesus, signifying a profound desire to honor and axalt the Almighty above all else.

 “if there’s anything we can do to give glory to God, we will do it! If someone ever asks what the longest applause in history was for, let them discover that it was for Jesus,” said Apostle Lubega.

Besides, he also remarked that the event was a mark to celebrate the nine-year milestone of Phaneroo Ministries, for consistently empowering its members with practical knowledge in various fields, while excelling in various God-given fields. 

“This is a young group of people whom we skill, this was just three hours of them clapping for Jesus, but we have them every day, every Sunday teaching them things like how to run marriages, how to run business, how to run families that last, how to excel in different aspects of life and fields as God has given them, like I said this was a mark to celebrate the nine-year anniversary of Phaneroo Ministries,” he added.

While talking to this publication after the event, Joab Aliganyira, a senior choir member at  Phaneroo Ministries passionately shared his firsthand experience of witnessing transformative changes among young men and women, including those from affluent backgrounds trapped in drug abuse.

“Phaneroo has transformed many young men and women both on the streets, kids from rich families that are wasted on drugs. Also me myself, I have seen transformation transformation in my life and that is the mandate to not only bring men to Jesus but we transform their minds, for a better Uganda tomorrow.”

In a fervent proclamation of faith, Sharon Wadulo Rebecca, a worshipper at Phaneroo expressed her conviction that as long as their actions bring glory to God, they are determined to achieve a remarkable feat in spreading the word of God worldwide, confident in surpassing all previous records.

“As long as it gives God the glory, then we should do …..I think we are going to break the record of the church that spreads the word of God in this era, and we reach all corners of the world,” Wadulo said.

With an unparalleled display of applause and triumph, Apostle Lubega has etched his name into the annals of greatness, leaving a lasting impact on the world and inspiring countless others to reach for their dreams.
