Alotau will observe nightly crusades from September 9 to the 15th, in conjunction with their weeklong celebrations to mark the country’s 50th Independence Golden Jubilee.

To be led by the Alotau Pastor's Fratenal, chairman Ps Newman Boroba tells NBC News, amidst it, they will hold a combine church service set for September 14th.

Themed "Acceptable Year of the Lord's Favor", it's aligned to the figure 50 and its association with jubilee, freedom, acceptance and the Lord's favor to restore and to bless, to deliver and to set people free as has been in the Word of God, Leviticus 25:11.
