Night Two of the CfaN crusade in Tete, Mozambique was a moment of powerful breakthrough. As elsewhere in Africa, witchcraft holds great power over the people. This is what Evangelist Roberts shared with me last night: 

“Last night we had a good crowd for the first night, but there were challenges. The music was off, the ushers weren’t handling the testimonies properly and worst of all, there seemed to be a heaviness and stiffness to the people.  

On Friday nights we have people bring ‘juju’ (witchcraft items like idols, talismans, potions, powders, written spells etc.) so we can burn them. I also ask for a list of foul spirits and curses that afflict the city. Usually there are 10 or maybe 15, but tonight they gave me a list of 26.    

 PEOPLE WERE AFRAID OF THE DEVIL.

I sensed what was wrong. The people were afraid of the devil and the witch doctors. When I took the microphone, I emphasised that the devil is under our feet and that they needed to bring their witchcraft. To prove this point, I went down and pulled two bags of juju out of one of the barrels and held it up for everyone to see. Then I threw it on the ground and began to dance on it. There was a collective gasp across the crowd. When I wasn’t struck down the crowd roared with approval!  

The Bible says that the devil goes about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour and as soon as we figure out that he may not devour us, he loses his power over us! The rest of the night, the heaviness was gone, and people filled the two 55-gallon drums with juju. We had so many miracles take place, we couldn’t get to all the testimonies.”

While this breakthrough is happening in Mozambique, our trucks in the Democratic Republic of the Congo are on their way for next week’s three crusades there. Right now, our urgent prayer requests are for the safety and protection of our teams and financial provision for final costs in the DRC. Please keep standing with us in this harvest season!

We are nearly halfway through the Decade of Double Harvest, the vision the Lord gave me to see 75 million salvations turn into 150 million by the end of this decade. How? It could never happen just by adding some more campaigns each year. It must be through Multiplication and Collaboration. 

Well, today I am sharing a report with you from Mozambique, where CfaN Bootcamp graduate Evangelist Randy Roberts is leading a four-day CfaN Campaign. That’s right – the multiplication the Lord showed me – which is why we train evangelists! – is bearing rich fruit right now. 

Randy sent me this message last night: 

“I just arrived back in my room after the first night of the campaign here and I am rejoicing. God moves in such a profound way in these campaigns that it causes the whole city to stop and acknowledge Him. As you can imagine, the devil doesn’t like that because we are taking ground and so he tries to resist our efforts, hinder our finances and to cause all sorts of problems. All in an effort to get us to quit. He has tried all those things, and we have experienced pressure on all sides, but when we pulled onto the field tonight and there were thousands upon thousands of people, none of that mattered. I didn’t see any of the problems, I only saw the harvest and I began to weep tears of joy and thank Him for drawing these people to Him. As I did, He clearly spoke to my heart ‘I am faithful’. I knew that to be true before, but I know it better now. If we won’t quit and just trust Him, He will come through every time.” 

There were many miracle testimonies after Randy prayed for the sick. 

This little girl, Nazira, had a tumour on her neck. During the prayer for the sick, it completely disappeared!

Antonio had a cyst inside his right eye since January this year, making him blind in that eye. During prayer, he laid his hands on his eye, and when Randy prayed, the cyst disappeared — and Antonio could see again. To test the healing, Randy had him cover his left eye and then showed him fingers from a distance. Antonio was able to count them perfectly! 

My heart is full to overflowing – He is faithful! When He gives a vision, a mission, He is the One who brings it to fruition. Stay tuned for more good news from Mozambique this week!

Originally, the plan for the DRC this year involved a massive Gospel Campaign in Kinshasa, supported by several smaller events in nearby neighborhoods. But as I shared with you, tension and conflict have escalated in this country in the past months. Our team had to be nimble and reassess the changing situation.

“It just didn’t make sense for us to go to Kinshasa at this time,” explained Bret Sipek. Instead, the decision was made to shift focus to a series of smaller, yet highly strategic cities in the Lubumbashi region in July, far from the heart of the unrest.

This change of plan has become an inspired opportunity. These newly-targeted cities are booming, thanks largely to mining. Once sleepy villages, places like Fungutume, Kasumbalesa, Kipushi, and Likasi have swelled to populations of over 100,000 or more, becoming vibrant urban centers. Many of these cities didn’t even exist in their current form just a few decades ago!

Despite rapid development, these mining hubs are often spiritually starved. People come from all over for work and opportunity, and they also bring with them deep needs. These towns are often marked by high levels of exploitation, prostitution and substance abuse – the issues that come with rapidly-growing frontier towns.

The CfaN team has already conducted “Fathers’ Meetings” in each location, gathering senior pastors and bishops to build unity and share vision. Local churches are not only welcoming the initiative – they say they’ve been praying fervently for it.

“In these cities, you see people praying all night,” said Bret. “They cry out to God. It feels like their voices are being heard in heaven.”

Despite – or perhaps because of – the rapid growth and harsh conditions, these places are fertile ground for revival. Several of the planned campaign cities lie near the border with Zambia. Kasumbalesa and Kipushi, for instance, are strategically located to impact not just Congolese communities but also those across the border.

Border towns often serve as intersections of culture, commerce, and movement. In our experience, they’re also places where hearts are open, and communities are responsive to the Gospel.

One of the most exciting developments is a growing emphasis on equipping African evangelists for Africa. In the DRC, our team is pioneering a new initiative: bringing in Zambian “Fire Campers” – budding evangelists who have completed a CfaN Fire Camp – to minister in the DRC Firewave (multiple smaller outreaches leading up to the main event). It marks the first time that Fire Campers from one African nation are being mobilized to serve in another.

Further south, Evangelists Randy Roberts and Denis Artyushevskiy (both CfaN Bootcamp graduates and veteran campaign organizers) have been mobilizing local churches in Mozambique, where three Gospel Campaigns are planned this year – two in July and one in October. Randy shared:

One of the main benefits (in addition to salvations) that we have observed from campaigns is the unity that is cultivated within the body of Christ. We usually don’t see this until preparations are well underway or even after the campaign. However, that is not always the case. We are already witnessing the Body of Christ come together in just the first few meetings in Mozambique.

This story from Tete is evidence that the Holy Spirit is working on the hearts of the people.

In 2007, pision broke out within one of the biggest denominations in Tete – the Zion church. Half followed Bishop Lucas Zaba, forming the United Christian Zion Church, and the other half followed Pastor Manuel Pita, forming the Apostolic Zion Church. These two men had not worked together or even shared a meal since.

We always endeavor to hear God’s voice and be led by His Spirit. If He’s leading us somewhere, He’s already been there before us.

In 2022, our campaign in Beira saw 208,157 salvations. News of this reached Tete, and both men began praying for us to come. When we arrived, their hearts were ready. Within two meetings, they repented, forgave one another, and joined the Board of Advisors to prepare for the campaign in July.

In 2022, our campaign in Beira saw 208,157 salvations.

Our friends Nick and Marlee, missionaries in Tete for13 years, wrote this message to Denis: “One of the things that impacted my wife and I most was how well the pastors from various churches worked together. There was such honor in the way they spoke to each other and how they trusted and made choices together. We also loved seeing how unified they already seem to be, all excited to work together for one goal – to see people saved here in Tete!”>

I am firmly convinced that we have the best team of campaign organizers in the world! But no matter how good they are, they cannot do this alone. The regions they’re working in are volatile. Logistics are complex. Costs are always rising. And the enemy does not want us there.

As a team, we feel a great sense of urgency for this region, where anything can change in a moment, and frequently does. There’s no time to waste. We also feel a growing excitement in our spirits for what God is doing there right now. The Gospel will be proclaimed to cities that didn’t exist a generation ago, to people crying out for something real – people who need Jesus.

These are not just plans – they are divine appointments in the making. We are stepping into cities old and new, into places just desperate for a touch of God. There is hunger in these places. There is hope. And there is an open door for the Gospel – but we cannot walk through it alone.

Will you walk though it with us? Will you help us to write a new chapter of salvation, healing and revival for these cities? Your gift, big or small, can help make that possible. Thank you so very much if you are able to invest in these African campaigns with your donations and prayers.

Together with you for the Gospel,

Daniel Kolenda
