We just finished the third night of our crusade in Chipata Compound, Zambia. The crowds have swelled and grown every night; huge dense masses of humanity packed together, standing for hours to hear the Gospel. This is winter in Africa, and we were blessed with warm weather last week. This week the days are pleasant but the evenings are cold. The people are mostly poor, many with no footwear or warm clothing, but this does not prevent them from coming to the crusade.
Huge multitudes are receiving the Lord Jesus every night, and God is confirming his Word with signs following. So far we have seen many deaf people healed, at least two blind people have received their sight, two paralyzed and lame boys have gotten up walking and running, tumors have disappeared and demon possessed people have been delivered.
With each testimony the crowds have responded with shouting and praises to God. The atmosphere in the crusade has been wonderful. My team is excited and we are excited about what God will do in the rest of the crusade!
We give all Glory to our Lord Jesus!
With me I have Pastor Chris Foster and Brad Chivington from New Life Assembly of God in Lancaster, PA. Also with us are my travel agent and "little sister" from Thailand, Penny Kliakusorn, from the Hope of Bangkok Church.
Do read Pastor Chris's blog about the crusade chrishfoster.blogspot.com . He also made the following comment to put in this e-mail:
"The deaf are hearing, the blind are seeing, the lame are walking and thousands are coming to Christ. We are seeing New Testament miracles each night as Christopher declares that God is the same yesterday, today and forever. This crusade in Zambia has been a life changing experience and we are not done yet. I will go home radically different"!
Thank you for your love, prayers and financial support!

Prayer Request for May Crusades
Because of the present situation of uncertainty in Zimbabwe, we have moved our crusades in May from Zimbabwe to Zambia. Most of our team-members are in place in Zambia, while two are still in Zimbabwe getting some necessary repairs done on our truck. The truck is expected to leave Zimbabwe as soon as all things are ready.
Our Director of Operations for Africa Pastor Nicholas Mavondo is in Australia where his wife Loreen is giving birth to their first child.
We are expecting the container with 20 tons of food (Donated by the Convoy of Hope) to reach our base in Harare in the next few weeks. Our distribution network is ready and standing by to take and distribute the food to the needy.
I leave for Taiwan tomorrow to minister there over the weekend. From there onwards to visit our team in Asia, with stops in Thailand and Singapore, then on to our crusades in Zambia. On my way home I shall stop and minister in Switzerland. Pastor Chris Foster of New Life AG in Lancaster, PA is coming to one of these two crusades in Zambia.
One of our crusades in Zambia is sponsored and paid for. A couple of my friends stepped in and took care of some additional expenses.
Please do pray for the following:
= Pastor Mavondo and Loreen and their new baby.
= For my team as they prepare the crusades. Janey Menzies is leading the team right now in pastor Mavondo’s absence.
= For the cost of the second crusade to be taken care of. We need $15,000 as soon as possible!
= For at least 200,000 souls for Jesus in these two crusades, and for the Lord to confirms His Gospel with signs following.
= For the distribution of 20 tons of food to be done efficiently.
= For Work Permits in Zimbabwe for Janey’s, Svetla’ and myself.
= For safe travel for myself and for safety for my family when I am gone.
Thank you for standing with us!
In Christ, your brother

March Final Victory Report - George, Zambia
Dear Friends,
I have just returned home from our crusade in George, Zambia. My heart is full of gratitude and praises unto the Lord for all the things that he has done.
We saw huge multitudes of souls come to Jesus. God gave great Grace and confirmed His Word with Signs, Wonders and Miracles. Every service was packed with wonderful testimonies of God’s healing power. We saw lame and paralyzed people carried to the crusade get up and walk, many deaf ears were opened, blind eyes began to see, tumors disappeared and many demon-possessed people were set free by the Power of the Name of our Lord Jesus.
One miracle that really gripped me was when a young mother testified of what the Lord had done for her baby. The baby had some kind of brain-damage and her neck was also paralyzed and immovable. The baby never made eye contact, never smiled and never responded in any way to her mother or to anybody else. On the first night of the crusade Jesus touched this little baby; the baby suddenly “came alive”. She smiled, followed her mother with her eyes, looked at and reached out to touch her mother; she made “baby-noises” and responded when her mother called her name. The mother rejoiced but her baby’s neck was still paralyzed and immovable. She kept on coming back to the crusade. Two nights later Jesus touched her again and the paralysis was gone. The baby was totally healed!
What a wonderful Jesus we serve! Hallelujah!
The crowd greatly rejoiced at each testimony every night, shouting, cheering and praising our Lord who alone is worthy of Glory, Honor and Praise.
On the last night, our “Holy Ghost Night”, the Lord told me to preach on the Blood of Jesus. I heard Him say “I always answer Blood with Fire!”
When it was time to minister the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of God began to stir in the crowd even as I was instructing them. People began to speak in tongues even before I began to pray and then the Fire of the Lord fell. Over 20,000 people were Baptized with the Holy Ghost and with Fire. The field seemed ablaze with the Glory of God. As the praises of God in other tongues ascended to the heavens, God responded with even more Fire. People were speaking in tongues, weeping, falling under the power, shouting….. It was indescribable!
That last service ended with uninhibited singing, praising, shouting and dancing. The huge field packed with humanity was alive and rocking with the praises of God. Nobody wanted to go home……
Thank you for all your love, support and prayers. I also want to thank Pastor Paul Grabill who is such a dear brother to me. His help and advice in my transition to the Assemblies of God has been invaluable. His congregation, the State College Assembly of God in State College, PA, has always received me most lovingly. It is this congregation that through their love and generosity have sponsored this crusade financially.
All Glory to our Lord Jesus for all that He has done!

March Victory Report - George, Zambia
Dear friends,
The Lord is doing wonderful things here. We just finished the second night of our crusade. Tens of thousands received Jesus last night and then again tonight; the Lord has done great things.
Many deaf years have been opened, tumors disappearing and so much more. Last night a lady came running to the crusade from a house several hundred yards away. She had a three inch long bone that had been growing and protruding out front from her rib-cage. As she sat in her house and we prayed a mass-prayer for the sick, the bone disappeared instantly. She came running to testify!
Another lady who had been paralyzed for many years was brought to the crusade in a wheelbarrow. She got up and walked. Another lady also got up from her wheelchair.
So much has happened and we give all the Glory, Honor and Praise to our Lord Jesus, who alone is Worthy!
I want to thank
Do continue to believe God with us for a large harvest of souls for Jesus this week, with abundant signs, wonders and miracles to the Glory of God!
In Christ,
Christopher Alam

March Victory Report -Matero, Zambia
We just finished our crusade in Matero, a township outside of Lusaka, Zambia. It was a real battle but God gave us a great victory.
Violent crime was very high in Matero because of which many were afraid to come out at night. Added to this, the crusade venue was inconveniently located in a far corner of the town. Therefore only those who lived close by dared to come out to the crusade. One night a man was severely beaten up by gangsters while walking home from the crusade.
Although thousands of people were receiving the Lord Jesus in every service, we still sensed tremendous resistance and battled for a breakthrough. We kept pressing on with the Gospel. Breakthrough finally came on Sunday night, the last night of the crusade.
The power of Satan was broken, and the field was filled with a huge multitude that had come out to hear the Gospel. A huge multitude received Jesus; I saw street toughs and hardened types break down and receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Then the Holy Ghost fell with great power and thousands were Baptized with the Holy Ghost and with Fire. After that many testified that they were healed. People with blindness, deaf ears, paralyzed limbs, tumors, pains, etc…. all rejoicing and testifying of the miracles that the Lord had done for them.
Thank you for your love and your support. I want to thank all of our friends and partners who stand with us. Special thanks to Pastor Jim Ruddy and Pastor Chris Foster and the members of the Bethel Assembly of God Littlestown, PA and the New Life Assembly of God in Lancaster, PA, for sponsoring this crusade with their generosity.
We begin our next Crusade on Wednesday in George, Zambia. Let us expect great things from God! Do uphold us in faith and in prayer!
In Christ
