Thousands of devotees have been gathered at the Philippine Arena to take part at Iglesia Ni Cristo's historic Worldwide Intensive Propagation, spearheaded by the INC's Executive Minister, Brother Eduardo V. Manalo.

The Worldwide Intensive Propagation is a worldwide Evangelical mission, which is a study of God's words written in the Bible and reconnect to what really matters. Because this is a worldwide Evangelical mission, INC devotees outside of the Philippine Arena participated this historic event at their nearest INC churches not just in the Philippines but the rest of the world.

Days before the historic INC event occurred, devotees took part in the worldwide distribution of pamphlets, introducing many Filipinos the brief history of the Iglesia Ni Cristo and why this religious institution matters to every Filipinos' faith and trust in God. The INC warned the motorists that heavy traffic along NLEX is bound on the day of the event and apologize for the motorists' inconvenience they caused.

The Iglesia Ni Cristo made huge headlines last year following reports of alleged kidnappings of members for allegedly spreading misinformation about corruption in one of the Philippines' most influential religious groups. Felix Nathaniel "Angel" Manalo and his mother Tenny was fired by executive minister Eduardo Manalo after the two claimed that their lives are in danger because of alleged death threats, probably a standoff between the religious movement's management and the alleged abduction of some of its members.

Last year's Felix Manalo biopic, which starred actor Dennis Trillo as Felix Manalo, the founder of the Iglesia Ni Cristo, broke two Guinness World Records for Largest Attendance For A Film Screening and Largest Attendance For A Film Premiere, with 42,624 attendees watched the film on its world premiere last early October at the Philippine Arena.
