August 3, 2024 • Congo Week 1 - Night 3
A New Generation
We have just concluded the third night of our gospel crusades here in the Congo, held simultaneously in the cities of Mbuji-Mayi and Kabinda. The atmosphere reminds me of the crusades from twenty years ago, filled with vibrant energy from people experiencing a Gospel Crusade for the first time. In Mbuji-Mayi, we have not held a crusade in over 30 years, and with an average age of 15, an entire generation has passed. Kabinda, on the other hand, is hosting its very first gospel crusade. It is a joy to break new ground, even as our team navigates the complexities of organizing such a significant event. They've remarked that this has been one of the most challenging campaigns in recent memory.

Tumors Vanish!
Tonight marked the second night of our campaign here in the Congo. There are two simultaneous crusades happening this week on two fields in two cities. On both fields, the attendance has been extraordinary. Crowds began gathering hours before the meetings even began, a testament to the deep spiritual hunger present in these regions. The atmosphere was electric with anticipation, and it was clear that the people were eager to encounter the power of God.

Ethiopia Crusade 2024 Preparations
In October, led by Evangelist Daniel Kolenda, we will head to Ethiopia to hold nine Gospel Campaigns in the four cities of Hawassa, Dilla, Sodo, and Hosanna. Denis Artyushevskiy is the senior Campaign Director there, assisted by a core team of eight people. Together, they are getting Ethiopia ready for a move of God that has never been seen there before.

Back after 30 Years!
Our crusade in the Congo has been nothing short of miraculous, but it has not been without significant challenges. As we prepared for six campaigns in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, we ventured into one of the most forgotten and inaccessible regions imaginable. This area is marked by extreme poverty, lacking basic infrastructure such as roads, running water, and electricity. Our Tanzanian directors remarked that they had never witnessed such hardship before. The journey to these towns is arduous; our senior campaign director, Vojtech Trcka, even spent nine hours on a motorbike traveling between two of the cities. This is a testament to the sacrificial obedience of going wherever the Lord leads, regardless of the discomfort or difficulty.

July 7, 2024 • Uganda Week 3
Significant Victory
The latest Uganda Crusade took place in the Lubaga District of Kampala. This area was strategically located between a mosque and a witch doctor’s shrine, and it was once considered the most wicked and darkest place in Kampala. This Crusade represents a significant victory for the Kingdom of God! Hallelujah!

400% Church Growth!
Tonight, we concluded the second week of crusades here in Uganda, wrapping up the first seven of fifteen planned events. The response has been phenomenal. Already hundreds of thousands have come to Christ and the count is still rising!

Witch doctors, demoniacs and madmen!
If you read my report from last night, you know that as a team, in all four cities, we preached about the blood of Jesus last night and went after witchcraft and idolatry, which are strongholds in these cities. The response has been overwhelming. Many attendees have surrendered items linked to the occult—fetishes, charms, amulets, idols, and books—for destruction. We've witnessed numerous individuals freed from demonic possession and oppression. This trend continued today.

Enough is enough
Tonight, I had the privilege of preaching in the city of Gulu, Uganda. Jim Leamon is one of the evangelists carrying this crusade (Jim and Kathy are a husband-and-wife team stationed here. Both graduated from the CfaN Evangelism Bootcamp). He wrote:
"Tonight, Evangelist Kolenda returned to the city of Gulu, Uganda to the exact same field he was on in 2012. This is the third night of the crusade where the crowd has grown exponentially each night. And tonight was no exception. The people began gathering hours beforehand to hear the message he would deliver. Evangelist Kolenda rewarded them with a clear gospel message on the blood of Jesus and thousands responded to the salvation call."

Miracles in droves
Today I traveled to the city of Iganga, one of four cities where CfaN crusades are ongoing this week in Uganda. Evangelist Gary Smith described the scene beautifully.
"As we were pulling up to the field, you could feel the charge in the atmosphere! Some people of Iganga walked for more than 4 miles to the crusade field. As the sun was setting, a wind suddenly began to bring much cooler air and even lightning in the distance. Despite the sudden change in the weather, there was also a sudden change in people's lives as Evangelist Kolenda began to pray for salvation! Thousands of people lifted their voices in unison, repenting and asking Jesus to be Lord of their lives. This indescribable sound of people crying out to the Lord never gets old. In fact, it hits you in the heart, full of compassion, love, and awe of the goodness and mercy of God. While the people cried out to the Lord, it began to rain, but nobody was leaving. It was a beautiful symbol of new birth in the Spirit."
