The event, which made its debut in December 2016 ranks as the largest annual gospel music congregation of its type the world over.
Born on January 17, 1984, Greene is an American gospel musician and pastor who commenced his public music career in 2007 with the release of the album, The More from the stables of Greenelight Records.
