Since its debut at the 31st December Service with Pastor Chris earlier in the year, the song, ‘Holy Spirit’, has been on the lips of many around the world, giving expression to our innermost appreciation for the person of the Holy Spirit. In addition to the prestige of the award presented by the BLW President, both awards are also accompanied with a cash prize.

The announcement of these awards and CSO’s singing of the ‘Song of the Year’ brought the LoveWorld International Pastors’ and Partners’ Conference to a glorious close.
