A HISTORIC MILESTONE FOR CFAN

Here is just a tiny taste of the magnificent move of God in Tanzania! A Historic Milestone for CfaN

TANYA GARDINER

For the first time in the history of the ministry we have successfully initiated five simultaneous mass Gospel Crusades in five different cities. As you can probably imagine, the logistical undertaking to execute this was enormous! This is how it worked…

Smaller towns, bigger impact

The five cities we went to were Tunduma, Iringa, Morogoro, Dodoma and Mbeya. These cities fit perfectly in the Operation Decapolis strategy - going to smaller towns where our supermassive Gospel Crusade machines aren't able to go. In the past, we only had one tool in our evangelistic toolbox—a massive campaign sledgehammer. It was very big and could only be used in certain contexts. Now, in addition to the supermassive Flagship Crusades which we are still doing, we have a new strategy that allows us to reach

smaller, more remote, and unreached places with the Gospel while continuing to have a massive impact!

The multiplication effect

The Operation Decapolis Crusades in each city ran from Wednesday to Sunday, five nights each. If you are wondering how we could do this, it is because of the multiplication initiative we have been busy with for several years now. In each city, two evangelists preached two nights each. Most of these preachers are graduates of our Evangelism Bootcamp! Evangelist Daniel Kolenda preached one night in each city, traveling each day to the next ongoing campaign.

Here is just a tiny taste of the magnificent move of God in Tanzania!

TUNDUMA

After the preaching of the Gospel, I taught briefly on healing the sick, and as I began praying for the sick, miracles started breaking out everywhere. Like in CfaN footage that I’ve only seen on videos, crutches were being lifted into the air all over the place and the lame began to walk. The whole crowd was going crazy and started shouting and celebrating. Miracles upon miracles began breaking out everywhere my eye could see!

IRINGA

As a young African female evangelist trained by Evangelist Daniel Kolenda at the CfaN Evangelism Bootcamp, I had the precious privilege of preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ on African soil on a mass scale. In Iringa, I

preached on the power in the

blood of Jesus, and for the first time in my life, I saw almost every hand go up in response to the call for salvation. I am still blown away by the breakthroughs I witnessed.

A little boy named Godwin couldn’t walk for 2 months. After I prayed for the sick on Day 3, he began to walk. I asked if he could dance and he said he didn’t know how to. How precious! I told him I would dance with him, and together we danced and sang praises to Jesus.

MOROGORO

Up on stage, pastors all around me wept as they witnessed this supernatural outpouring of miracles happening before their eyes. Once you’ve seen that, it changes you forever! Andrew was one of the first to testify on stage. His friends brought him to the crusade on a motorcycle and gently placed him on the ground,

and there he lay, flat on his back, waiting for a miracle from the Lord. He hadn’t been able to walk for six months, and was numb in his back and legs. But when I prayed for the sick, Andrew said he felt a surge of power enter his body. Not only was he completely healed in an instant, he also received Jesus and went home a completely changed man. The final night, I saw straightaway that the crowd was much bigger than previous nights. Before I walked up on the platform, the local Crusade organizer told me the pastors said it was the largest crowd gathering for a Gospel Crusade in the history of Morogoro!

DODOMA

As I prayed for the sick, demons started manifesting all over the field in extraordinary numbers. Our deliverance team had their hands full! And we heard many testimonies:

• One man had a brace on his back, used a cane to walk and had to use painkillers.

He stopped using the cane and brace and was completely healed. He stomped all over the stage, showing how his back and legs had received strength. • One woman had severe pain in her spine and was on crutches. After prayer, she was running on stage.

MBEYA

As the sun was setting behind the crowd, I saw thousands receiving the invitation of salvation. Seeing all the beautiful smiles and tears that were shed as they received Jesus is an image that will forever be imprinted upon my heart. After the prayer for the sick, a young man who was deaf for seven years in both ears ran up the stairs onto stage to testify that the Lord had completely restored his hearing. “What has Jesus done for you, son?” I asked. He shouted with joy: “I could not hear for seven years, but now I can hear completely!” The crowd and I roared together with a resounding, “Hallelujah!” “Who is the healer?” I asked him. With arms raised high in the air in victory and with a beaming smile, he cried out, “Jesus is the healer, and He has healed me!”
