Midnight Crew Unveil New Phase As They Celebrate 12th Anniversary

As Midnight crew celebrate their 12th anniversary, the multi award winning African praise band has released a press statement about the next level for the group. They share about some of their new strategies, aims and objectives of the new phase, in reaction to speculations of the group breaking up. Mignight crew also gives a reassuring message of love to their numerous fans.

“We greet you all in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour. First and foremost we will like to thank all our families, loved ones, friends and fans for being there for us all these years. Your prayers, words of encouragement, well wishes, and support in different dimensions have helped us grow to who and what we are today.

God brought you into our lives for many reasons and what He has used you to do in our lives has formed some of the reasons why we are still standing today. Sometimes, just cheering us in the background gave us strength to keep moving when the going got really tough and when it seemed the smart way to go is give up and move on. We do not take any of these lightly and we give God all the glory for bringing you all into our lives. Once again, we say we are grateful.

As we approach our 12th year as an entity that has enjoyed a lot of ground breaking experiences by the grace of our faithful and true God, we sense a shift, we sense the completion of a phase and the beginning of a new phase, we sense a breaking out, we sense a release, a regrouping to expand the kingdom of God through music, and it is no coincidence that 12 is a number of completion, governmental perfection, organization, divine government or rule.

We may not have fully grasped the dimensions God wants to take us through in this new phase but we choose to trust Him who has the total picture and who is able to complete what He has started and take us to a glorious end.

Having been there for us all these years, we feel we owe it to you to explain the new dimension we sense God is taking us to and through in this season of our lives and ministries.

We realized and recognized from the start that every individual that came to form the entity we all know today as Midnight Crew had personal divine calls/assignments but at the time, we all sensed God telling us to lay it all aside for a corporate assignment. It was a sacrifice we had to make so that God would do what He chose to do with and through Midnight Crew.

We do not regret a single day of making that choice, we are glad and most grateful to God for all He has done and for all He is still doing for us, and for every life that has been touched and is still being touched by the ministry of Midnight Crew.

Consequently, we feel more deeply than ever before that it is time for individuals to live out our personal divine calls and assignments.

We know that asides fulfilling the corporate vision which we have been doing for the past 12 years, and which we intend to continue doing, God will also hold us accountable for specific individual assignments or instructions He has given us.

Hence we choose to be responsible to and for each other and ensure that as individuals, we will live out every dream God placed in us, die empty and not be found wanting on the day of reckoning.

In this new phase, you will find individuals expressing themselves in new dimensions. We have released the 4 proprietors, namely Patricia King, Odunayo Ojo Onasanya, Mike Abdul and Olugbenga Oyebola to live out our pre-existing individual dreams and find expression as God will lead us using the entity Midnight Crew and its milestones/achievements as our Launchpad to the next level of ministry.

You will find individuals recording singles and albums; embarking on some various people-oriented ministry projects as God has laid it in our minds and as a way of giving back to our community.

These we already started in our various capacities and we are trusting God to reveal His will and unfold His plans the more as we all move by faith to fulfill our personal assignments.

We are excited to let you know that Mike and Pat have been working on their first personal album projects. These will soon be released and you will be the first to know as soon as the albums are out.

Gbenga (G Minor) has started a mass choir project which will provide a platform for men and women blessed with musical and singing abilities to find expression and channel their gifting to glorify the Most High God. Odunayo is cooking up a new dimension in the ministry of praise and worship that will take the world by surprise. You will find links to what individuals are already doing below.

We are not strange men who are not touched by the same infirmities (or challenges) every human face in different phases of our lives, businesses, marriages, or divine calls/assignments, so we continually strive for perfection, having the assurance that in all these things, we are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus that loved us, and we are fully convinced that in the end we will win.

Finally, we will like to make it clear that who we are and what we are today is because of what God has done for us and through us in Midnight Crew.

We therefore do not intend to walk away from the vision of Midnight Crew as we are convinced that it has not quite fulfilled the fullness of its purpose and while we give individuals more room, we are keeping the corporate vision of Midnight Crew alive and running for as long as God will allow us.

All we ask our friends, families, fans and loved ones is to pray along with us as the individuals attempt to find expression in this new but inevitable phase of our lives and destinies.

We covet your prayers and we also pray for you that as you petition the Lord our God on our behalf, you also will find answers to all your heart desires in Jesus’ name. Amen.
