As for sceptics and critics I say the gospel of God is dynamic; it has to be relevant to the society at that particular juncture, and in this case the target group was the youth.

A reporter's duty is to report issues as objectively as possible, hence it is really disheartening to see misrepresentation of facts. My attention was particularly drawn to the writer's description of one of the dance routine as "gyrating raunchily." Someone who was not at the Carnivore would get a different picture from what really happened.

What I saw was a group of young people in a synchronised routine dance for the Lord. Everything in heaven and earth belongs to God - including music. The devil stole and perverted music and hence the body of Christ is simply reclaiming back what was stolen. As for Carnivore and its "secularness", Jesus said in Mathew 28:19-20, "Go ye into the world and spread the gospel and make them my disciples, baptise them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, and teach them to obey everything I have commanded you." So Pete Odera and his cronies were simply doing that. They are trail-blazers in a field that few have dared. Otherwise thanks to the Nation for highlighting the event.
