Dois grandes momentos da programação já aconteceram: o primeiro foi a participação do pastor músico David Quinlan no dia 17, e o segundo foi a participação no Ministério Nova Geração, no dia 18.

Depois das muitas orações e cultos que marcaram o dia 19, os participantes se preparam para as OlimpíadasRadicais, que serão realizadas com muita agitação nos dias 20 e 21, no Clube da ASBEG em Aparecida de Goiânia.

Os jogos são abertos para toda a igreja e os participantes devem ser batizados e pertencerem à mesma rede.

O encerramento, como não poderia deixar de ser, promete muita alegria com a festa Preto e Branco no dia 21, que proporcionará um momento de comunhão e entrosamento entre os jovens radicais.

Os preletores do evento são o pastor Naor Pedroza, fundador do Ministério Radicais Livres; José Carlos, autor e pastor de governo da Videira Portal; Francisco Vasco, diretor do Instituto Social Videira; e Gustavo Paiva, pastor da Igreja Internacional da Reconciliação em Brasília (DF) e líder do Ministério Nova Geração.

Whitney Houston’s funeral took place without interruption, but the Westboro Baptist Church released an allegedly photoshopped picture to make people think they protested the event.

"Time for Westboro picket of Whitney Houston’s funeral. So many piling up to blather about her today. Not ONE of them warned her of hell," tweeted a protester, Margie J. Phelps.

The infamous, radical group, led by Phelps’ father, the pastor, protests various events promoting controversial messages. Most recently, they had planned to protest NCAA coach Joe Paterno’s funeral, and superstar singer Whitney Houston’s funeral. The latter took place Saturday, and many were in attendance.

Phelps, in an effort to publicize Westboro’s protest, posted a picture on her Twitter account showing members holding up offensive signs, one of which read, "Whitney in Hell."

"Did my friends @BET see these lovelies? Such fun singing to @OccupyWallSt This picket is rocking the house! @NJ_News pic.twitter.com/37Kl46wR," she tweeted.

After posting the picture, media sources like The Raw Story and The New Jersey Star-Ledger scrutinized the inflammatory photo. Soon after, they reported that it was a fake.

Apparently, running the picture through photo alteration programs like Photoshop revealed inconsistencies in pixilation, which means the protesters and signs were most like digitally added after the fact.

In addition, The Star-Ledger reported that the photo was artificially created, as the area in question was blocked off by police, unavailable to protesters and mourners alike.

Despite the debunking of the alleged protest and the accompanying photo, Phelps continues to tweet her outrage at celebrities like Whitney Houston, who she maintains is in hell.

"All NJ & all who came to lie about Whitney’s Godless life saw these beauties!She’s in hell! #NoWordsByCelebsChangeThat " tweeted the woman Saturday.

Recently, Westboro has failed to show up at other events as well. After promoting their protest, they failed to appear at the funeral of U.S. Army Spc. Jordan Christopher Schumann as they said. They also did not show up for a law enforcement officer’s funeral in Ogden, Utah, they had planned to protest.
