MBARE-STODDART FINAL SERVICE: HOLY GHOST FIRE FALLS!

We just ended the Mbare-Stoddart Crusade with a powerful service. The field was covered with people for this final meeting. I preached from 1 Cor 1:18 “The Preaching of the Cross is foolishness unto those that perish, but unto us it is the Power of God”. Deep conviction came upon the people and a huge multitude received the Lord Jesus. After that the Power of the Lord fell and many were Baptized with the Holy Ghost and with Fire. Many were healed after that and we ended the crusade with much rejoicing.

It is 1:30am now; we are very exhausted and about to go to bed (thus this very brief report!). Pack in the morning and then fly out to Sweden. After that three days of preaching in Paris, France for my friend Pastor Selvaraj Rajiah. After that I’ll be back home, ministering in churches in the US.

At the end of June it’ll be Singapore and then back to Africa for two crusades in Livingstone Zambia and Victoria Falls Zimbabwe.

We are thankful to the Lord for the large harvest of souls that we could bring into His Kingdom. Thank you for your love and your prayers.

We are still short of the budget for our next crusade, and would appreciate your help. If you want to contribute and help us you could send us a check to:

The Final Service at Mbare-Stoddart


MBARE STODDART – FOURTH NIGHT: A RIVER OF SALVATION AND MIRACLES

We continue to see the miracles and the blessings of God continue to be manifested. Tonight I preached on John 3:14-15 “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life”.

The power of God touched the people; a huge multitude received Jesus and God did wonderful miracles to confirm His Word…… In addition to people being healed from deafness and from different kinds of infirmities, we had a lady who was blind who received her sight. After Jesus opened her eyes, she went totally wild, dancing, jumping, shouting and praising God. Another lady was crippled and bent over double. Jesus healed her too and she just could not stop dancing!

We all laughed a lot, rejoiced and praised God and enjoyed watching these two ladies on the platform. Both were so caught up in their joy that they just could not stop dancing! They were both quite elderly, but they danced and jumped around like youngsters!

All Glory to Jesus!

Mbare is a high-crime area, and we are seeing a breakthrough. We actually held a crusade here in the past in which two leading crime personalities gave their lives to Jesus. One was a leading drug dealer. The other was a gang-leader. Both are serving God and are in church today. The Gospel with Signs Following gives us great influence, and we must use this influence to draw people to Jesus!

We have one more night to go. Do uphold us in prayer!

In Christ

MBARE-STODDART THIRD NIGHT

IN ZIMBABWE - THE CRIPPLED DANCE, THE BLIND SEE, THE DEAF HEAR!

Our God continues to move with His power over the people of Mbare-Stoddart. The crowd grew even more tonight. I preached 1 Jn 3:8 “For this cause was the Son of God revealed, that He might destroy the works of the devil”

The Power of God fell upon the people. A huge multitude received the Lord Jesus. Then the Lord gave great Grace and confirmed the Word with Signs following. Among the outstanding testimonies tonight…. Deaf ears were opened, a young mother whose left hand was paralyzed ever since she was a child was healed. A totally blind lady who was led to the crusade by her daughter received perfect sight. An elderly man who could barely walk with a stick and was totally blind in one eye and almost totally blind in the other was healed…. He danced for joy and smiled like a million Dollars! A lady who could not walk without her crutch dropped it and ran and danced!

The State Run Zimbabwe Television filmed the service tonight and shall be telecasting it nationwide. This way the whole nation shall not only HEAR, but shall also SEE the Gospel with the demonstration of God’s Power!

Surely our Blessed Lord Jesus is the Same today as He was 2000 years ago! Let us give Him Glory, Honor, and Praise for all this. He alone is worthy of Glory, Honor and Praise!

Do continue to uphold us in prayer.

We need your intercession and support so that we can continue to press forward for Jesus!

In Christ

MBARE STODDART SECOND NIGHT – THE BLESSINGS CONTINUE!

The Mbare-Stoddart Crusade continues. The crowd doubled in size the second night. The Gospel went forth with great power and a huge multitude received Jesus.

God confirmed His Word with His miracle-working power: Demon-possessed people were delivered, deaf ears were opened. A couple of people who had severe deficiencies with their eyesight were healed. A lady whose left arm hung paralyzed and useless for years was healed by God’s power. Others testified of different kinds of diseases and infirmities that the Lord healed them from.

Yesterday I reported about a 13 year-old girl from last night, Charmaine, who began to hear demonic voices and became demon-possessed and totally blind. We cast the demons out of her and she got her sight back….. well, she came to see me all happy and praising God! We took a nice picture of her standing with me and smiling.

Praise the Lord for His Mercy! Do uphold us in prayer as we continue to preach the Gospel to bring in a great harvest of souls for our Lord Jesus!

In Christ

MBARE-STODDART – FIRST NIGHT - AN AMAZING CASE OF DELIVERANCE!

We have just finished the opening night of the Mbare-Stoddart Crusade in Zimbabwe. We had a good first-night crowd. The Lord moved in a great way upon the people; thousands received the Lord Jesus and a number of people were healed from different diseases. Amongst these were deaf people who received their hearing and a woman whose left arm had been paralyzed. God healed her arm and she could move it perfectly.

After the service ended I heard a lot of shouting and crying from behind the platform. I went to check what was going on…. It was a 13 year old girl. During the service she had begun to hear demonic voices in her ears and had suddenly gone totally blind. She was crying hysterically. I decided that I was not going to let her go home like that. We cast the demons out of her in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ, and prayed for her eyes. The devils left her and she regained her sight perfectly and could even read small print from a distance.

What a wonderful Lord and Savior we serve, our Blessed Lord Jesus! All Glory unto Him for ever!

Do uphold us in prayer and let us believe God for a great harvest of souls!

In Christ

MBARE-RUFARO CRUSADE - Final Report

The Mbare-Rufaro Crusade just ended on Sunday night. We are thankful for the wonderful works that the Lord did in our midst. This was one of our smaller crusades, because it was held in the only available field in the area, outside of the far end of Mbare Township. The area was very needy and had never been touched by a gospel Crusade, so we went there to preach the Gospel to the people who lived there.

Every night we saw thousands of people brave the cold weather and come out to hear the Gospel; and every night we were blessed to see thousands receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. We saw God do many miracles in our midst. On the last night, for example, we heard lots of testimonies…. A young boy brought his little cousin who was born deaf. He came with great faith and expectancy in his heart, and was not disappointed. Jesus healed his little cousin. A young man with AIDS, his body racked with great pain and his legs severely swollen up described how all is his pain and other outwards symptoms disappeared and his legs came back to normal. A lady then testified that she had heard of the crusade and traveled over 200 miles to attend; she had a tumor growing on her breast that had instantly disappeared. Another lady whose legs had been partially paralyzed danced for joy after the Lord healed her. There was a moment of great hilarity when a little boy who for months could only move with great difficulty after a leg injury danced demonstrating some of his “fancy footwork”. He was good!

Many other testified of the wonderful things that the Lord had done for them. Then the Holy Ghost fell upon the multitude and many were Baptized with the Holy Ghost and with Fire.

For all things, we give all the Glory, honor and Praise to our Lord Jesus!

Do uphold us in prayer as we move our equipment to Mbare-Stoddart, right inside the hotbed of Mbare Township for our next crusade starting thisWednesday!

Thank you for your love, prayers and support!

The crowd rejoiced and danced, praising God
until late in the night at the end of the crusade.

This lady's legs were partially paralyzed and she had
a lot of difficulties moving. Jesus healed her and
she got up danicing and running, praising the Lord!

This little boy had a leg injury that made it very hard for him
to walk and to get around. He had been this way for 5 months.
When Jesus healed him, he walked, ran and showed us some
of his amazing dancing skills. Talk about some fancy footwork!
I was jealous and wished that I could dance like him.
We all had a great laugh and praised God!

This young boy's faith really touched me.
He came bringing along his little cousin
who was born deaf in both ears. He came with
Faith and expectation that Jesus would heal him.

Mbare-Rufaro, Zimbabwe: Mid-Crusade Report!

We are in the middle of our crusade in Mbare-Rufaro. It is very cold in the evenings, just a few degrees above freezing, certainly not the ideal situation for an open-air crusade. Yet in spite of this and the people’s lack of adequate winter clothing, thousands are coming to hear the Gospel and are receiving Jesus. God is also confirming His Word with many wonderful miracles. So far we have seen the Lord open deaf ears every night, last night a girl with a paralyzed arm was healed. Some with severely impaired eyesight and a boy who could not see with one eye have been healed. A lady who had a large cancer testified how God has healed her and that the thing had disappeared. Several others who had great difficulties walking ran and leaped for Joy.

What a wonderful Jesus we serve! All Glory to Him alone who is worthy!

Do uphold us in prayer. Let us believe for a great harvest of souls for Jesus!

More updates are coming, one at the end of this crusade and again new reports from our next crusade next week!

Also check out our website http://www.pentecostalfire.com/

Be blessed in all things!
In Christ,

30,000 BAPTIZED WITH THE HOLY GHOST – LAST NIGHT OF CHAWAMA CRUSADE

Our Crusade in Chawama, Zambia ended tonight. It has been a week when we have seen the Glory of our God. Huge multitudes have received Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior every night, and God has poured forth His Grace with Signs, Wonders and Miracles in every single service.

Since my last mid-crusade report, the last two nights have been full of amazing miracles. What awonderful Savior we serve! Hallelujah! We have seen lame and paralyzed people get up and walk, blind eyes see, deaf ears open, tumors disappear, demon-possessed people being delivered, amongst many other things.

Tonight the Fire of the Lord fell, and around 30,000 people received the Baptism with the Holy Ghost and with Fire. The whole field covered with the vast multitude seemed to be ablaze with Rivers of Fire flowing from down from Heaven. All over the field people were weeping, shouting, falling to the ground, speaking in tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. As the Praises of God ascended to the Heavens, God answered with even more Fire; as it is written "The God who Answers with Fire, He is God!"

Jesus Christ was Glorified, and we can say that our Lord Jesus is loved and exalted in this town far more after this crusade, than He was before we came to Chawama!

The teams from RHEMA, State College AG and Swedish Pentecostal Churches stood side-by-side and helped me minister. God let them see many miracles of healing and deliverance as they laid hands upon the people. I believe that their lives have been changed for ever!

Thank you for your love, prayers and support. We are in a very tenuous financial situation right now. We have two crusades scheduled for Zimbabwe at the end of April, and we are around $30,000 in the red. Because of the present economic crisis our ministry income and church offerings have shrunk considerably and we need your help right now. Otherwise we might have to cancel our two Crusades in Zimbabwe in July. I say this with great pain in my heart, as we have never had to cancel a crusade before because of lack of funds. Each crusade costs us around $25,000, but we bring in over 100,000 souls for Jesus with that money. It is money well spent for the Kingdom of God!

Thank you for taking this in prayer before the Lord and for doing your best to help us!

In Christ

THE POWER OF JESUS UNLEASHED – CHAWAMA CRUSADE BEGINS

THE POWER OF JESUS UNLEASHED – CHAWAMA CRUSADE BEGINS

We have just finished the Second night of our Crusade in Chawama, Zambia. It rained hard last night during the first service, but thousands stood in the rain to hear the Word of God, refusing to leave. We moved all our musical instruments away under cover and kept two microphones active for my interpreter and myself, and stood in the pouring rain, preaching the Gospel soaked to the bone.

Thousands were Saved and many were healed from different diseases, with especially many deaf receiving their hearing.

Tonight, the second night we saw an awesome move of God. Perfect weather and a huge crowd. A huge multitude responded to the altar call for Salvation. Then God gave great Grace and confirmed His Word with Signs, Wonders and miracles. Many deaf ears were opened, two ladies who were blind and could "see" only shadows received their sight. Two lame people walked. One was a man pushed in on a wheelbarrow. He had not stood or walked for 7 years. The other was a lady who was physically carried there by her family. You should have seen the way she began to run across the field, and then danced and Praised God! In addition to this several demon-possessed people were also set free by God's Power.

Many others also testified to having being healed from different diseases and infirmities. The teams from RHEMA, State College AG and the Swedish Pentecostal Churches actively helped in the ministry.

We serve a wonderful Jesus, saving sinners, healing the sick, and setting the captives Free! What a privilege it is to serve Him! You area great part in this through your prayers and your financial support

I will write another report after the end of this Crusade. Please do uphold us in your prayers!

In Christ

FINAL VICTORY REPORT –MANDEBVU CRUSADE

We just finished our crusade in Mandebvu, Zambia. It has been most exciting and the Spirit of the Lord has broken through the spiritual darkness that reigned over Mandebvu.

It rained on two of the last three nights of the crusade, but the people were so hungry for the Gospel that thousands stood in the rain and the cold to hear the Gospel. I preached with my clothes soaked; we saw multitudes come to Jesus and God confirm His Word with Signs Wonders and Miracles.

One most outstanding miracle was this that was told to me by Pastor Mavondo, our Director of Operations for Africa. We have not been able to get all the details as yet, but this is what we were told:

A lady came and told one of our team members that she lived in a house close to the field where the crusade was being held. Her mother, who was totally paralyzed and could not speak, had died. The family had gathered to see the body, to mourn and to make funeral arrangements. They were all crying. They could also hear me preaching in the distance, and then heard me praying for the sick. The lady said, “When Pastor Christopher began to pray for the paralyzed and said ‘Lord, send your Life and your Healing Virtue into the paralyzed bodies in Jesus Name!’ life suddenly came into my dead mother and she sat up. She came back to life and stood up! She went to the bathroom and took a shower, and ate afterwards!”

This is what our Lord Jesus can do! He the Savior of the lost, the Healer of the sick, the Deliverer of the oppressed. Even death has to loose its grip when we call upon that Wonderful and Mighty Name of our Lord Jesus! Hallelujah!

On the last night there was no rain. The field was packed with a sea of humanity and we saw a massive response to the altar call with a huge multitude receiving Jesus.

Then we prayed for the Baptism with the Holy Ghost and with Fire. The Fire of the Lord fell upon the multitude and thousands upon thousands were Baptized with the Holy Ghost and with Fire, speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. Tear-stained African face worshipping Jesus, people falling, shouting, weeping all over the place……

So ended our first Africa Crusade for 2009! All Glory to our Lord Jesus!

Thank you for your love and your prayers. We start our next crusade on Wednesday in the township of Chawama. We have several teams helping us. One from State College Assembly of God and another from RHEMA Bible Training Center. Then there is a team of 3 young Swedish Pentecostal missionaries who traveled down from Tanzania to help us in both crusades.

Do uphold us in prayer! Pray especially for good weather. This is supposed to be the dry season, but clouds have covered the entire Southern African region and it is raining. We need a miracle here!

With much love, in Christ
Christopher Alam

MID CRUSADE VICTORY REPORT FROM MANDEBVU, ZAMBIA

Gabriel and I are in Mandebvu, Zambia, mid-way through our crusade here. The rainy season has just ended and this is our Africa Crusade for 2009.

Mandebvu is a very poor high-crime township outside the capital city of Lusaka. The evenings are cold, but huge crowds are coming out to hear the Gospel in every service and multiplied tens of thousands are receiving the Lord Jesus every night. The crowd was extremely rowdy and noisy on the first two nights, but the Spirit of the Lord has broken through.

We are seeing the Mighty Hand of God move in Mandebvu. God is confirming His Word with Signs, Wonders and Miracles. Deaf ears are being opened, paralyzed limbs are being healed and we have seen several people almost fully blind who have received their sight, in addition to many with other diseases and infirmities. In addition to this, many children are being Saved in the children's crusade that Janey is holding in the afternoon.

Do uphold us in prayer for the rest of this crusade and next week’s crusade in the township of Chawama.

On our way to Africa we stopped in Thailand where Brother William, our Director of Operations in Burma, came out to see us. He reported that as a result of our cyclone relief efforts and the evangelistic efforts by one of our main churches in Central Burma, 10 more churches have been planted. This brings the total number of churches started by our ministry in Burma to 152. All Glory to Jesus!

After that we also stopped over in Singapore where I preached in a church and did an evangelistic outreach night for another church reaching the Hindu community. Over 60 received the Lord Jesus in that service.

Thank you for your love, your prayers and your generous financial support, helping us to reach the lost with the Gospel of our Lord Jesus!

In Christ

Sat 3 Jan - 2nd day in Buenos Aires

We slept in, and then went back to La Estancia for an awesome lunch of Chivito and Carne Asado....

Then in the evening we went to Pastor Juan Crudo's church to preach. The place was packed out with people. It was good to see Pastor Juan, his lovely ever-smiling wife and their 3 beautiful children after 15 years. His kids, who I had last seen when they were small, are all grown up, married and have children of their own.

What a joyous reunion!

Pastor Juan's dad, who used to pastor this church before him, went home to be with Jesus about 12 years ago. He was a wonderful man whose company I used to enjoy. He told me stries about Lester Sumrall when he came through as a young evangelist. The future Mrs Sumrall was then a young single Canadian missionary who played the piano in this church when Brother Sumrall first came through....

We had a great service this evening. Many people received the Lord Jesus. Many wanted God's healing touch. We began by praying for those who were deaf in one or both ears and Jesus touched them, in face, as far as I could tell, they were all healed! The crowd rejoiced and we then prayed for the rest. The power of God once again moved over the crowd. Many were healed, the people weeping and rejoicing.... but because of the density of the crowd inside the building we could not call people to come up and testify.

All Glory to our Wonderful Lord Jesus!

We are looking forwards to tomorrow (Sunday). Back to Pastor Crudo's church in the morning and in San Justo for an evening service.

Friday 02 Jan -ADVENTURES IN BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA!!!

We just flew into Buenos Aires from Washington Dulles on United Airlines.

We checked into the "Hotel Colon" (I JEST NOT!! - That is the actual name of the hotel! Actually it is not at all THAT funny...."Colon" is Spanish for "Columbus" as in Christopher Columbus!) The hotel is at the end of the famous Calle Llavage close to the Obelisk. We checked into our room and went straight out to my favorite place to eat in Buenos Aires, the La Estancia Parillada, just a few yards away from the hotel.

Gabriel asked for a small steak, and they came out with their "small" steak, a huge rare "Bife de Lomo" (Flame-grilled Fillet Steak) of at least 1.2 lb or 600 gms. And guess what, my son polished it off in no time. I got a taste, it was extremely melt-in-the-mouth tender.

The thing is that there is no such thing as a "small steak" in Argentina. The smallest steaks are what we would call "huge". This country is a carnivore's paradise and a vegan's worst nightmare!

They love their meat here!

I had a "Chivito al Asador" (Baby goat slow roasted over an open flame) - Crispy outside, and incredibly sweet, tender and tasty inside. YUMMY!!! Gabriel tasted it and announced "THIS is what I'll have for lunch tomorrow!

Argentina has the best beef in the world and it is very inexpensive too. The US will not allow the importation of the much superior and cheaper Argentinian beef because it would push US beef right out of the market and hurt American farmers. So one has no choice but to go overseas to taste this good stuff! Not only that but it is quite inexpensive to eat here.

For dinner we went to Pastor Claudio Freidzon's favourite place: The well known "El Palacio de la Papa Frita" (Translation: "The Palace of the French Fry"!!!) . The name of the place is deceptive, because this is actually a top-class steak house. They are world-famous for their amazing "Papas Souffle"- piping hot, freshly made , fried, thick cut slices of potato that are both crisp and "puffed up" like small pillows. An incredible accompaniment to a good steak. Gabriel and I did not fully understand the menu and we ordered for him what sounded like Short Ribs. What the waiter brought in was this huge very thick world-class melt-in-the-mouth T-bone steak of about 2.2 lbs or 1 kg. It cost only about $12!

I had a plate of tender "Mollejas" or Calf Sweetbreads. Incredibly tasty with a squeeze of lemon. Sweetbreads are the Thymus of small Calves and Lambs. The Thymus is a very tender organ in the throat of the small baby animal that disappears when the calf or lamb grows up. Incredibly delicious, and a much loved dish in Europe and South America.

I wish my America friends would shake off their squeamishness about foods that they are unfamiliar with and be adventurous. There is a lot out there that the Lord has made for us to enjoy!

We have a free day today, and I start preaching tomorrow in my old friends Pastor Juan Crudo's church. Juan Crudo pastors "Cristo La Solucion" a group of large churches that are part of the Swedish Assemblies of God. In fact, Juan Crudo's main church was the first Pentecostal church in Agrentina, pioneered by Swedish missionaries.

The interesting thing is that the Assemblies of God's powerful work in Brazil and Argentina was pioneered by Swedish Pentecostals. The AG in Brazil was pioneered first by brothers Berg and Vingren, Swedish emigrants to the US who were sent out as pioneer missionaries by the the American AG. They later on moved back to Sweden where their descendants live today.

There are TWO AGs in Argentina, the American AG and the Swedish AG, and they both work together quite seamlessly.

We are excited about what the Lord shall do here!

This is what was leftover after we were totally full!

Mid-Crusade Report From Chipata, Zambia

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!

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!

In Christ,

Christopher Alam

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 Pastor Paul Grabill and the congregation at State College Assembly of God in State College, PA, who has sponsored this crusade through their love and generous support.

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,

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
