The Decision Card Count is in! – Freetown, Sierra Leon

2012-04-30T00:40:23Z

Dear Mission Partners,

We’ve received the wonderful report that 301,790 people returned completed decision cards at our most recent campaign in Freetown, Sierra Leone indicating that they have made a decision to follow Jesus. These individuals have now been entered into our follow up system and local churches will be overflowing with new converts.

Thank you for standing with us to make this campaign possible. We are now trusting the Lord for the finance for our next campaign in Uganda. Please continue to pray with us that every need would be met.

Yours in the Harvest,

He is Risen Indeed – Freetown, Sierra Leone – Day 5

2012-04-30T00:51:56Z

Day 5 of the Christ for all Nations Great Gospel Campaign in Freetown, Sierra Leone, April 2012

Dear Mission Partners,

The final meeting of our Gospel Campaign here in Freetown, Sierra Leone has just come to a close and we are rejoicing. The stadium bleachers were packed tonight and the stadium workers were forced to open the gates so thousands could overflow onto the grass (which they originally told us they were unwilling to do).

I spoke about the resurrection of Jesus and it’s unparalleled significance. “And if Christ be not raised” Paul said, “your faith is vain and you are yet in your sins.” (I Cor. 15:17) Without the resurrection the crucifixion would have been just an execution. But the good news is this, “Now is Christ risen from the dead and become the first fruits of them that slept.” Miracles, salvations, healings, and deliverances like the ones that took place tonight bear witness to this wonderful reality – that He is risen indeed!

A woman who was partially blind in both eyes received her sight tonight
A woman who was bent sideways for years suddenly straightened upright and can now walk normally.
A woman whose womb was swollen and painful with cancer said that during the prayer she felt a warmth come over her body and the swelling and pain vanished.
A man with a paralyzed arm and leg was restored.

We are praising the Lord for the mighty harvest here this week and so thankful that we have been given the open door to proclaim the Gospel.

Please also allow me to mention a serious need that we are facing right now. Our equipment needs to be shipped to East Africa for our next crusade (in Uganda), but we need to pay $70,000 before it can leave the port. If it cannot leave within the next few days it will not arrive in time for the campaign. Please help us with this urgent need and may the Lord bless you. A link is provided here for your convenience if you would like to give online (http://bit.ly/cfandonate)

Thank you again for standing with us in the harvest. May God bless you richly.

Yours in the Gospel,

An Amazing Story – Freetown, Sierra Leone – Day 4

2012-04-09T00:59:56Z

Freetown, Sierra Leone Great Gospel Crusade

Dear Mission Partners,

Today I spoke to a man with an amazing story. He attended our first crusade in Sierra Leone in 1991 accidently. He came from a Muslim family, but he was not religious. In fact he was a drug addict, an alcoholic and a fornicator. He had no exposure to Christianity and had never heard the Gospel, but he was a football fan. He used to come to the national stadium quite often to watch his favorite team play and one night, when he saw that a huge crowd had packed into the venue he decided to see what was going on. He stumbled into the meeting drunk and high, but he said the moment he entered the stadium he felt something he had never felt before. The hair on his arm stood up and he had goose bumps all over. Suddenly he became sober. He heard Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke preach the Gospel and surrendered his life to Christ.

That was 21 years ago. Today he is a pastor, and a church planter who has started 10 churches in Sierra Leone. I wonder how many thousands of stories like this we have never heard. One thing is certain; mighty things are happening here and Jesus is doing His work.

Tonight a woman testified that she came to the meeting crippled. Her right foot had been severly broken twice and she could only hobble around with a crutch and even then with pain. But during the prayer for the sick, she said it felt like someone was unscrewing something from her foot. She thought one of the ushers was doing something to her foot. She looked down, but there was no one. The unscrewing sensation continued until she realized the pain was gone and she could now walk!

Tomorrow is the final meeting here in Freetown. Please continue to pray for us and have a wonderful Resurrection Sunday.

Yours in the Gospel,

Evangelist Daniel Kolenda

A Good Friday – Freetown, Sierra Leone – Day 3

2012-04-08T00:21:19Z

Dear Mission Partners,

Tonight at the campaign here in Sierra Leone, I preached about the power in the blood of Jesus. Thousands heard the Gospel and received Jesus as Savior and Lord. I can’t think of a better way to spend Good Friday than this. We didn’t just talk about the cross, we experienced it’s power first hand.

Tomorrow morning will be the last meeting of the Fire Conference. Please pray with us for a mighty outpouring that will impact the whole nation.

From all of us here in Freetown, have a blessed Good Friday.

Yours in the Gospel,

The Tide is Rising – Freetown, Sierra Leone – Day 2

2012-04-06T23:44:00Z

Dear Mission Partners,

The national stadium was filled tonight with 60,000 people hungry for the Word of God. I preached the Gospel, prayed for the sick and Jesus did the rest:

A woman who had been terribly sick for two years was taken to the hospital where they diagnosed her several life threatening illnesses including malaria, typhoid fever, tuberculosis and HIV Aids. The doctors said that there was no hope for her and they sent her home to die. She came to the meeting tonight on deaths doorstep knowing that this was her last hope. During the prayer for the sick the power of God came upon her, strength returned to her body and all her symptoms vanished. She came to the platform with tears streaming down her cheeks as the thanked Jesus over and over and then she collapsed on the ground sobbing, “Thank you Jesus, Thank you Jesus.” It was the purest worship I’ve ever heard.

We heard that one lady came to the meeting tonight on crutches, but the moment she limped onto the field a miracle happened. She dropped her crutches and walked totally healed.

For all the testimonies and all the miracles, all the glory goes to Jesus. The tide is rising here in Sierra Leone and there is much more to come.

Yours in the Gospel,

Evangelist Daniel Kolenda and Reinhard Bonnke

A Defining Moment – Freetown, Sierra Leone – Day 1

2012-04-06T00:27:32Z

Dear Mission Partners,

We have just returned from the first meeting here in Freetown, the capital city of Sierra Leone. I believe that this campaign is more than a few good evangelistic meetings. This week will be a prophetic and historic defining moment for the nation.

Earlier today we paid a courtesy visit to the state president and formally invited him to the crusade (see attached picture). Tonight he attended the meeting in the national stadium along with members of his family. Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke preached a crystal clear Gospel message and when he gave the altar call many thousands responded. We also heard wonderful testimonies of miraculous healings and we are rejoicing!

This is only the beginning and we covet your prayers this week as we storm the gates of Hell. Pray that the Gospel would penetrate even the hardest of hearts, that the Holy Spirit would draw sinners from every corner and that mighty signs and wonders would mightily confirm the declaration of the Word. We are standing shoulder to shoulder in this mighty harvest. The best is yet to come!

Yours in the Gospel,

Evangelist Daniel Kolenda and Reinhard Bonnke

Dear Mission Partners,

I have just heard from our crusade organizer who says that they have counted 540,400 decision cards that were completed and returned during our campaign in Monrovia, Liberia. These precious souls are now being followed up by the local churches that are bursting at the seams with new converts! This is wonderful news for a country whose entire population is less than 4-million. We are rejoicing and thanking the Lord for this mighty harvest.

May I be so bold as to ask for your help right now? We are now in desperate need of finance for the next crusade in Sierra Leone in four weeks time. Could you please do something to help? If you feel led to participate, please CLICK HERE

Thank you again for your support and prayers. We thank God for you.

Enormous Gospel Impact – Monrovia, Liberia – Day 5

2012-03-05T14:47:04Z

Dear friends,

What in amazing week we have had here in Monrovia, Liberia. 260,000 people attended tonight’s final meeting – that’s nearly 30% of the entire population of this capital city! The state president attended the meeting along with other top dignitaries and government officials.

Evangelist Bonnke preached the Gospel tonight and prayed for the sick. We heard wonderful testimonies – deaf ears, blind eyes and crippled legs healed to the glory of God.

Another fascinating testimony came from a self-proclaimed witch. She said she has killed 10 people in the past using spells and juju (including two of her sisters) and a couple of nights ago her coven sent her to the crusade to kill me. When she tried to place the curse on us, to her amazement she said our prayers were too powerful. Suddenly she fell to the ground and began manifesting demons. The ushers carried her out to the deliverance tent where they cast out the demon. She repented, confessed her sin and received Jesus Christ as Savior!

After the testimonies, evangelists Bonnke prayed a prayer of blessing over the people, the leaders and the nation. It was a powerful moment. What has happened this week is actually hard to quantify. But one thing is certain… Liberia has been impacted by the Gospel on an enormous scale. We are rejoicing and we thank the Lord for your partnership in the harvest.

Yours in the Gospel,

The Most Beautiful Sound on Earth – Monrovia, Liberia – Day 4

2012-02-27T00:59:48Z

Dear Friends,

We’ve just returned from the field here in Monrovia, Liberia where the Holy Spirit fell in mighty power tonight on the 160,000 people present. Evangelist Bonnke preached a red-hot Gospel message about the “Prison of Sin” and even as he was preaching, shrieks rang out from demoniacs in the crowd who were being set free. When he gave the invitation there was an overwhelming response and as he led the multitudes in the prayer of salvation their voices resounded like thunder across the field…the most beautiful sound on earth!

We also heard wonderful testimonies of what Jesus is doing. The blind man (that we saw while leaving the field last night) came forward and gave his testimony (see attached picture). A woman who had a huge tumor in her stomach told us that it vanished!

One powerful testimony came from a young woman who had sickle-cell anemia (an incurable, painful disease which causes abnormalities in the red blood cells and leads to premature death). When she came to the CfaN Gospel Crusade in 1998 she was suffering with terrible pain, but after the prayer for the sick the pain left her body and from that day to this she has been totally healed!

This morning was also the conclusion of the Fire Conference and it was something special. After Rev Peter van den Berg preached the delegates stood to their feet and began to receive the fire. By the time I stepped onto the platform the Holy Spirit was already falling. We simply rode the Holy Spirit tidal wave as it swept through. Praise the Lord!

Tomorrow is the final meeting here in Liberia and I’m sure Jesus has saved the best for last.

Yours in the Gospel,

Holy Ground – Monrovia, Liberia – Day 3

2012-02-26T01:20:33Z

Dear Friends,

The crowd grew to 130,000 people tonight here in Monrovia, Liberia and there was electricity in the air. The worship was deep and wonderful. The presence of the Lord was so tangible and sweet – it moved me to tears. The crusade field is holy ground this week.

Many people surrendered charms, fetishes, amulets, idols and juju to be burned tonight. I preached about the blood of Jesus, led thousands in the prayer of salvation and then broke the curses in the mighty name of Jesus. Afterwards I prayed for the sick and wonderful miracles happened.

As we were driving off the crusade field, our car was stopped by a throng of people rushing in front of us and shouting frantically. I rolled down my window and asked what was happening. A young man shouted back, beside himself with excitement. He pointed to an old man in the middle of the crowd and said, “That old man was blind, but now he can see!” Of course the meeting was over, but the miracles were still happening all over the place. The 75-year-old man was totally blind for 13 years and suddenly received his sight!

Tomorrow is the final day of the Fire Conference and we are believing for a mighty outpouring. Please pray.

Yours in the Harvest,
Evangelist Daniel Kolenda
