Evangelist Tolucci, a Nigerian preacher and revivalist based in Nigeria, sparked a lively conversation online after attending a Church of England prayer meeting near his apartment in Darlaston, England, on September 8, 2026.
Writing on his X account, Tolucci described walking into a quiet gathering of eight senior citizens — six British nationals, one Latino, and one Austrian — and leaving with a deep impression of how differently people around the world approach prayer.

The 4 prayer points that left him smiling
The preacher listed four intercessions that the group prayed over during the session. The congregation gave thanks for the summer season, specifically for brightening trees and causing flowers to bloom.
They also prayed for plastic recyclers working to protect the earth and its ecosystem, for council cleaners burdened with extra work clearing fallen leaves and flowers during the season, and for peacemakers and negotiators operating in conflict zones across the world.
By the time the group had worked through those four points, a full hour had passed.
Tolucci noted that he smiled throughout the entire prayer session, adding that as someone accustomed to charismatic Nigerian worship — complete with Yoruba declarations, calling on the name of Jesus multiple times, and shouting "INA OLORUN" and "AGBARA EMI-MIMO" dozens of times — the calm, nature-focused intercessions were quite the contrast.
"It's always amazing everytime I criss-cross the nations and worship with multi-cultural audiences," he wrote, before signing off with a blessing for the parishioners of St Lawrence Catholic Church Darlaston.
Despite the contrasts in style, Tolucci closed his post with a reflection that cut to the heart of his observation.

He expressed a hope that God would hear prayers from Africa and raise leaders capable of building the kind of governance and social order that would inspire citizens to remember and pray for the people behind the services they take for granted every day.
