The event became a significant milestone in the continuing Home Free Global Crusade: Saved, Healed, and Delivered Tour, demonstrating the growing reach of the Church’s evangelistic mission.

Home Free Global Crusade New York 2026 Opens with Praise and Worship

The Home Free Global Crusade New York 2026 began with an uplifting welcome from hosts Sister Jiezelle, Brother Sebastian, and Sister Miracle, who expressed their appreciation to everyone who traveled to attend the crusade.

Special recognition was given to the brethren from the East Coast Locale Churches, many of whom rented buses and endured a four- to five-hour journey to reach the venue. Their determination reflected the commitment of the brethren to participate in the evangelistic gathering and support the mission of bringing the Gospel to more people.

Brother Shaquille Lightbourne opened the program with a prayer for success, blessings, and peace for everyone attending the crusade. This was followed by opening remarks from Global Evangelist Apostle Jonathan S. Ferriol, formally ushering the congregation into a time of praise and worship.

The Home Free Global Crusade Praise and Worship Team led the congregation in worship through songs including “Faithfulness” by Lakewood Music, “I Believe” by Phil Wickham, and “Who Else” by Gateway Worship. The worship service prepared both brethren and guests to receive the Word of God.

HFGC New York merchandise was also given to participants whose area demonstrated the loudest praise, adding an atmosphere of joy and celebration to the opening portion of the crusade.

Yeng Constantino Shares a Testimony of Being Lost and Found

One of the evening’s most meaningful moments came through the testimony and musical ministry of Yeng Constantino, a returning participant in the Home Free Global Crusade.

Yeng performed original songs including “Ikaw,” “Hawak Kamay,” and “Salamat,” creating a special connection with Filipino attendees in New York. Her use of the Filipino language also brought a sense of familiarity and nostalgia to many Filipinos gathered at the venue.

Sharing openly about her personal journey, Yeng reflected on a period when success and recognition caused her to lose sight of God.

“I’ve been successful in so many ways…I got overwhelmed with success, and I have forgotten all the more about God,” she shared.

Yeng testified that God continued reaching out to her despite the seasons when she felt lost. A simple invitation from a friend to attend a Bible study became one of the ways God led her back to Him.

She reminded the audience that God can use people, music, and different circumstances to call individuals back to His presence.

Yeng also ministered through renditions of “Holy Forever” by Chris Tomlin, “Believe For It” by CeCe Winans, and “I Believe” by Charity Gayle.

Tasha Cobbs Shares a Message of God’s Glory

American gospel singer, musician, and songwriter Tasha Cobbs also ministered during the Home Free Global Crusade New York 2026, delivering powerful songs and sharing reflections about God’s presence and glory.

Speaking about the glory of God, Tasha emphasized the importance of seeking God’s presence, especially during seasons of uncertainty and discomfort.

She performed several well-known Christian songs, including “Final Say,” “You Know My Name,” “For Your Glory,” “Put a Praise On It,” “Gracefully Broken,” and “Break Every Chain.”

Between songs, she encouraged those experiencing difficult or uncomfortable circumstances to seek God and allow Him to direct their lives.

Her ministry helped prepare the hearts of the audience for the central message of the evening—the assurance that God’s love continues to seek those who are lost.

Apostle Jonathan Ferriol Preaches on Being Lost and Found

Following a dance presentation by Saved by Grace, Global Evangelist Apostle Jonathan S. Ferriol delivered the main message of the Home Free Global Crusade New York 2026, entitled “Lost and Found.”

Apostle Jonathan explained that God places divine landmarks and coordinates throughout people’s lives to guide them back to Him. Even when individuals become temporarily lost because of struggles, circumstances, or wrong decisions, God’s love continues to pursue them.

He emphasized that the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ demonstrate the depth of God’s love for humanity.

“The reason Jesus suffered, died, and rose again is all because He loves and cares enough for us. His love came looking for you, and He will not stop until you are found,” Apostle Jonathan declared.

The message called attendees to recognize God’s invitation to salvation and respond to the Gospel with faith. It emphasized that no matter how far a person may have wandered, God’s grace can lead them back to Him.

1,327 Accept Christ and 552 Receive Water Baptism

The results highlighted the evangelistic impact of the crusade and demonstrated the continuing mission of the Home Free Global Crusade to reach people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The event also brought together thousands of attendees, including Filipino communities and brethren from different East Coast churches, demonstrating the power of united participation in the work of evangelism.
