Village Outreach Evangelism
Leonard Ravenhill stated, “The opportunity of a lifetime must be seized within the lifetime of the opportunity.” Let us harness the moment, seize the opportunities God provides, and run with Christ to rescue the perishing of our generation. I had a powerful encounter with the Lord that ignited my faith while attending the Reinhard Bonnke School of Evangelism in 2013. I was amazed to see the Lord perform physical healings and miracles after the school at my workplace — TBN’s Holyland Experience. While attending the school again in 2018, the opportunity to partner with CFAN for the Village Outreach Evangelism Trucks in Port Harcourt Nigeria became available.
The Lord showed Himself strong during our travels to Port Harcourt as we prayed for a man in a wheelchair who rose up and walked. People in the airport lined up for prayer after this resulting in many healings, several salvations, and people being filled with the Holy Spirit! Din Bissoondial and I were the second team of evangelists to arrive in Port Harcourt, Nigeria out of a total of six teams (each team having their own week). The evangelism trucks have the ability to go into rural and hard to reach places where a normal crusade cannot go. During the outreach a praise team sings, the main CFAN Gospel Crusade is promoted, and a salvation message is given followed by an altar call and many being healed. The evangelism trucks are a team effort, and all CFAN directors, technicians, counselors, musicians, interpreters, drivers, trainers, and a local pastor all have an essential role to play. In Port Harcourt, we had the opportunity to preach in 12 meetings where 4,815 people heard the Gospel message and 2,346 made a decision for Jesus! Two people who were deaf in one ear were healed, and many backs, knees, lungs, headaches, shoulders, waist pain, and many other illnesses were healed. The demonically oppressed were also set free.
The Village Outreach Evangelism Truck next went to Lomé Togo before the main CFAN Gospel Campaign. Jared Horton and I were the second team of evangelists to arrive. The Lord allowed us to preach the Gospel to 3,912 people in 16 outreach meetings and see 607 people make a decision for Jesus. A man’s tumor on his back disappeared and all his pain left, a man’s blind right eye was healed, and many backs, waists, necks, shoulders, breast, lung, knee and foot pain were also healed. I am so grateful and truly praise God for the opportunity to serve with CFAN on the evangelism trucks. May the Lord abundantly bless you as you share the love of Jesus with those around you.
