The media teams of New Season Prophetic Prayers and Declarations (NSPPD) and other churches have received a public call from Triumph Adekunle, proprietor of Grace, Culture and Poise Finishing School in Abuja, asking them to refrain from specific actions during church services.

Triumph stated in a Facebook post that she made the appeal out of vulnerability after witnessing what happened during the recently finished NSPPD Prayer Conference in Lagos. She pointed out that a lot of religious media teams engage in similar behaviour.

She claimed to have seen the NSPPD media crew focusing their cameras on a middle-aged man who seemed to be profoundly in prayer and emotionally broken.

She acknowledged the role of the media in sharing the gospel, but she questioned whether evangelism required exposing worshippers’ intimate moments and emotions.

Triumph urged churches to let worshippers feel free and close to God without worrying about being seen by others.

She also cited biblical instances to emphasise the need for sensitivity while voicing worries about how contemporary church media practices might handle intensely private moments of faith.

“Dear Church Media,

This comes from the heart of a vulnerable worshipper. This post was triggered primarily by the NSPPD Lagos prayer conference yesterday, but I know almost all church media teams are guilty. Please stop pointing your cameras at people who are vulnerably worshipping.

While streaming the conference I saw a man who looked to be in his mid‑50s pouring out his heart to God in tears — the media didn’t need to show that to us. You even pointed your camera at him for a while. What if he sneaked in like Nicodemus?

I know we must use media to preach the Gospel. I am too exposed to know that not all evangelism will be on the street, but do you need the tears of a vulnerable worshipper to evangelize? He was clearly tabling matters before his God.

Please, I beg you: don’t take away people’s freedom to rest at the feet of Jesus. Sometimes I imagine how this generation would have treated the woman with the issue of blood. We for don “feem am” so tey her faith go die.
Some people now intentionally wait for cameras to show off worship. Chaiii!!!
I know we are in a show biz dispensation but let’s not shift the ancient landmarks.

These are my suggestions — during the service:
1. Avoid close‑ups of worshippers in emotional or vulnerable moments (altars, prayer lines, people crying).
2. Use primarily wide and mid shots of the congregation; limit or forbid prolonged focus on any one individual.
3. Keep camera movement respectful — no intrusive zoom‑ins or lingering on faces.

Please show the love and dignity of Christ in the way you use your cameras.

Triumph Adekunle.”
