At 9:50 p.m., on October 9, the opening ceremony of the 27th anniversary event started with a tape-cutting ceremony by Dr. Jaerock Lee and foreign VIPs including Rev. Nestor Colombo, President of GCN, followed by a laser show that expressed the gospel of sanctification and the fiery works of God's power. Six multi-projectors and colored laser beams were used for this show. And that same day at the second part of the Friday All-night Service, a documentary video titled "Our Testimonies" was presented in celebration of the 27th anniversary eve.
