According to Signorelli, the event drew large crowds, many of whom stood for hours in the rain.

“It starts pouring at the conclusion of my sermon, rain, and people just took out their ponchos,” he said. “For three hours these people stood in the rain.”

He also described what he believes were supernatural moments during the service.

“Demons started manifesting all over Times Square, in the audience, around the peripheral,” Signorelli said. “People were getting prayer, getting free. We had quite a few people reach out and say that they experienced a physical healing as well.”

Despite the celebration, the pastor said the event has come with challenges, including threats and safety concerns for his family.

“I had to wear a bulletproof vest because the death threats,” he said. “My home address got doxed multiple times.”

Still, Signorelli said he remains committed to continuing the work.

“We’re not going to back down,” he said. “The 21st century church has to start looking like the first century church if we’re going to take this country back.”

“My friends have told me, ‘Mike, we’re scared. Like we don’t preach the way you preach because we don’t want what happens to your family to happen to us,’” he continued. “And I said, ‘Yeah, but bro, that’s the first century church.’ Like they didn’t use persecution as an excuse to stop being bold.”

As the interview concluded, Signorelli offered a direct challenge to pastors and believers across the country.

“The harvest is vast, but the laborers are few,” he said, quoting the words of Jesus. “There’s a lot of spectators, but there’s very few workers.”

He encouraged churches to step beyond traditional models and actively engage their communities.

“Go out in the streets, evangelize,” he said. “Make some of the best stories of your life, ’cause right now there’s a harvest like I’ve never seen.”
