Dear Friends and Partners,
The second day of our Gospel Crusade in Kumasi, Ghana, has just come to a close. To see the recap from last night’s crusade, click here:

Tonight dark, ominous clouds threatened our program and torrential rains soaked the area surrounding our field, but thankfully, we remained dry. The gospel was preached. The power of God touched thousands of people, and Jesus was glorified!

In addition to our Fire conference (in the mornings) and the gospel Crusade (in the evenings), the Bootcamp students have continued their local outreaches as well. As of today, they have conducted 2,862 separate, individual outreaches and have documented 350,693 decisions for Christ!! Again, this is all in addition to those being saved at the crusade (the numbers from which have yet to be tallied). This means that we will certainly surpass 3 million documented decisions for Christ this year before the week is over! This truly is the season of “Double Harvest.”

When I asked the crowd tonight how many people had received a physical healing in this crusade, literally thousands of hands went into the air.

Tonight, we heard from a woman who came to the crusade last night with a growth on her leg, which has since vanished. She brought pictures of the way her foot looked last night, and we were able to compare it. It looked like a totally different foot. In fact, the shoes she was wearing tonight she said she was not able to wear on that foot yesterday at all!

There was also a 24-year-old young lady who had never spoken before in her life. Tonight, she began to utter sounds – not fully formed words yet. It is miraculous, however, considering she’s never been able to do this in her entire life!

A woman with painful fibroids said that they suddenly vanished during the prayer tonight! She has no more pain.

A young man who had fallen from a tall tree (he said it was “taller than a coconut tree”) said he had been suffering with severe back pain for the last 11 years. Last night he was totally healed. All pain is gone!

Tomorrow morning Reverend Peter Vandenberg and I will conclude the Fire conference, which will culminate in an impartation service. Please be praying with us for a mass outpouring of the Holy Spirit in both the morning and evening services.

Yours in the Gospel,

Dear Friends and Partners,

We have finally made it to the city of Kumasi in the nation of Ghana for our final gospel crusade of 2022. Have a look at the video of our arrival yesterday:

The road to get here has been fraught with many dangers, toils, and snares. Actually, it is miraculous that we have made it this far. One of the biggest challenges we had was with the crusade field. There was simply no place in Kumasi large enough to hold the massive crowd that we are expecting to gather—except for one. It’s a 29-acre field (equivalent of 22 American football fields) in the center of Kumasi, but it has been a “sacred” ground and has been off-limits.
 
If you read the report that went out a few days ago, I explained:
 
The major reason for the opposition is – that this field has never been levelled or prepared for a mass gathering (even though it’s in the centre of the city), and there’s an eleventh-hour reluctance to allow it. Furthermore, it is the centre of the Ashanti kingdom. (One the largest kingdoms in Africa, reaching far beyond Ghana). For centuries, this has been the traditional venue for spiritism and animistic witchcraft practices . . . BUT {thank the Lord} the current king, and many others, DID want it to be used for other purposes (like our Crusade). And after extensive deliberations and negotiations, we prevailed.

Our crusade director said:
“When the bulldozers arrived to prepare the field, the caretaker, a practicing witchdoctor, called the police, and a long standoff took place. After further negotiations, they (finally) agreed for the work to proceed . . . as long as we erected four pedestrian bridges across their ‘holy stream.”

Another problem that we faced was getting our eight trucks filled with crusade equipment (speakers, sound equipment, lights, platform, etc.) across three international borders. At one of the borders, our team was stranded for nearly 10 days. This means that they only arrived on Monday of this week, forcing them to compress five days’ worth of setup into two! The team looked exhausted tonight, but they have pulled off the Herculean feat. This is why they are the best on the planet. Where others would give up and go home, they rise to the challenge and do the impossible.
 
We also have more than 120 BootCamp students that have been here for nearly three weeks completing their training (what is called their “Initiation”). In less than three weeks, they have conducted 1,801 outreaches and seen 340,174 documented decisions for Christ! And that is before the crusade even started!
 
Now, the first night of our gospel Crusade has just come to a close. More than 100,000 people attended this opening service.

The atmosphere was electric. The faith and expectation of the people was palpable. As I preached, the response to the gospel was overwhelming, and many tens of thousands surrendered their lives to Jesus tonight.

Right before it was time to pray for the sick, lightning began flashing in the distance, and rain began to pour on the field. The vast majority of the people never moved. I prayed for the sick and took testimonies in the pouring rain.

A man who had been on crutches for the last eight years as the result of a semi-truck accident was healed tonight and walked without his crutches!

A man with terrible, debilitating chest pain was healed during the prayer!

A little girl who suffered with epilepsy and had not been able to speak was healed!

A man with severely limited mobility due to a back injury was able to move freely tonight, bend down and touch toes and move with perfect freedom!

This is only the first night of our crusade here, and I’m sure that over the next three nights, we will experience a mighty move of God. Please continue to pray for us and for our entire team on the ground.

Together in the harvest,

In the earliest days of Christ for all Nations, the Lord gave Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke a vision of Africa, soaked in the blood of Jesus. “From Cape Town to Cairo!” “From Cape Town to Cairo!” was and is the rallying cry of this ministry, and the passion and commitment in that statement continues to this very day.

While I surely rejoice at all the Lord is doing across the globe, I can tell you that my heart beats a little faster when we’re on our way to a campaign in Africa. And so it should because Africa is at the very heart of the CfaN vision. God has not told us that we’re done yet, and so long as He keeps telling us to go, we will go!

So it thrills my soul to tell you that we’re heading to the city of Kumasi in Ghana in November for our next CfaN Flagship Campaign. I personally cannot wait to be there because I can feel in my spirit what God is preparing for the people of that region. We know exactly what plans He has for the people there – to bring salvation and healing, to see brokenness made whole and lives transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit.
We preach Jesus – the Lord of lords!

Kumasi is a sprawling, huge city with over 3.6 million people. And interestingly, it is one of the most important locations in Ghana for ancestor worship. Adherents of traditional African religions do believe there is a supreme being. However, they believe this “god of gods” is remote and uninterested in them. And so, they pray to the “lesser gods” of places and things, and their own ancestors, hoping they will intercede with the spirit world for those still alive.

Well, we preach Jesus, the Lord of lords and the King of kings! He alone is our intermediary, our High Priest who intercedes with the Father on our behalf. And far from being uninterested in us, we know the Father loves us so much, He gave His only son to die in our place. Through Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross, we are brought into a relationship with God, creator of the universe, the One who reigns above all. In Jesus, there is freedom – freedom from our own sin and freedom from the enemy’s lies. And that’s news that must be shouted from the rooftops. We cannot keep it to ourselves!

It surely is no accident that the Lord is sending us to a place with these historical ties. He is calling us to break strongholds and set the captives free – and the time to act is now.
