The international leaders were welcomed at Lengpui Airport, Aizawl, by soldiers and officers including Territorial Commander Colonel Lalngaihawmi. Music was provided by the territorial staff band. The visitors headed to Aizawl Temple Square for an open-air meeting which was also a welcome meeting. The General's Bible message included his personal testimony of being a "sinner saved by grace," giving the listeners an impression of a Spirit-filled leader.
The congress included – for the first time – a meeting for local officers, hundreds of whom rededicated their lives to God at the mercy seat. At the other meetings, too, hundreds of people responded to the call for seekers.
At a meeting focused on outreach mission offerings were collected for Bhutan – the newest mission field – which totalled more than 50,000 rupees. Recognition was given to outreach workers and new converts from mission fields, especially Bhutan and Nepal.
Officers councils were attended by more than 200 active and retired officers, along with 24 cadets of the Heralds of Grace Session.
Throughout the congress the General and Commissioner Cox shared the pulpit, putting God at the very centre of everything that happened. The General spoke about the International Vision of One Army, One Mission and One Message, encouraging the congregation to value One Army which continues to serve the lost and desperate, fulfilling its One Mission as it proclaims One Message.
As well as three main public meetings the congress also included the dedication to God and opening of Dawrpui Vengthar Prayer Hall, young people's, corps cadet and Salvation Army youth meetings and a praise meeting for women's ministries.
Contributions from songsters, bands, and timbrel, drama and cultural dance items added greatly to the occasion. Personal testimonies also brought moments of blessing.
Congress meetings were broadcast on a live telecast by a local cable TV station, with events also being reported in a daily newspaper.
After the congress had finished the international leaders visited the training college, a boys' home and the prayer hall at Aizawl Central Corps.
