After The Reign: Reflections from a Night of Purpose and Purple Elegance

The Purple Reign Gala was an unforgettable evening filled with purpose, passion, and purple elegance. Guests arrived adorned in their royal best, stepping into an atmosphere that blended beauty, reverence, and celebration. From the heartfelt rhythms of saxophonist Anthony Rejiv and the soulful melodies of DJ Chrome to the powerful messages shared throughout the night, the event truly honored the strength and resilience of survivors while uplifting the mission behind it all.

Not only were the five EXcelevating Crown Jewels deeply moved, but the souls of the entire audience were touched as well. The décor glowed in shades of regal purple, the fellowship was warm and genuine, and every detail worked together to create an EXperience that touched the spirit, just as we had prayed it would.

As we reflect on the evening, we are reminded of the impact that unity, compassion, and intentional purpose can create. The Purple Reign Gala didn’t just happen; it unfolded with grace, empowerment, and unforgettable moments. And as the purple reign passed, the Son revealed His light over the entire celebration.
