Finale in the Village

The crusade is over and the finale was magnificent! 425,000 people came to hear the Good news. What a privilege I had to preach to this enormous and incredibly responsive crowd. Daniel Kolenda preached the main message again and was great. He is a humble, yet wonderfully anointed man who is stepping into some very large shoes with grace. It was a pleasure to join him and the rest of the Cfan team. These are all amazing men with great commitment and courage (their lives are frequently in danger).

The final numbers are in and a total of 803,563 people gave their lives to Christ. To put that into perspective, only 40,000 people live in the village where we had the crusade. Many people walked for days to come. The hunger for a real relationship with God is unquenchable here.

We now move onto India where we are told to expect to see even more desperate poverty. We will be joined there by Evangelist Rob Welch and our dear friend and former Pastor Randy Barr. Please continue to lift us all up in prayer. We will not have anywhere near the support team that we had in Africa with Cfan.

We finally have full internet access so Karman is going to send a bunch of photos, including a shot of 5 adults on a motorcycle. Not the record but it gives you an idea what the roads in Nigeria look like.Thank you again for your prayers.
