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
