BOOTCAMP GRADUATION

LEVI STEWART

As the newly minted graduates crossed the stage, receiving their certificates and the laying on of hands at the first ever Evangelism Bootcamp graduation, you could sense that something truly special was taking place. The culmination of six months of intense, hands-on evangelism training and impartation, this ceremony last June was so much more than pomp and circumstance. It marked the launch date for over fifty fully empowered, strategically educated ministers of the Gospel who will join the CfaN team on the ground in Africa this fall.

The Bootcamp taught these students how to create and deliver powerful evangelistic messages, organize gospel crusades, raise funds and lead a ministry, and much more. In the few short months at Christ for all Nations, each student also acquired hands-on training behind the scenes at the office, led weekly outreaches in the city, and received one-on-one coaching from CfaN leadership. Evangelist Daniel Kolenda personally designed and delivered the program as a fast-track to the mission field and its first ever graduating class is ready to hit the field with the Gospel and continue the

CfaN mission for a Decade of Double Harvest. Here is what a few of them had to say.

Jim Leamon – Thank you again for allowing us to be a part of this Bootcamp. We are forever grateful and feel confident in moving forward to share the Gospel in the nations around the world.

Eric Dykes – This Bootcamp has changed my life! I believe in this program so much I would send my own children through it. It has pushed me into a place of boldness I’ve never been, and thrust me into destiny with Jesus. The men and women of God at CfaN are like none I’ve ever experienced before! I am so excited to push forward with this team to bring the Billion Soul harvest to pass. I want to give my upmost thanks to Evg. Daniel Kolenda, Levi Stewart, Russ Benson, Roselyne Ayeola, Jared Horton, Peter Vandenberg, and the whole staff and team at CfaN. You have all of my honor and respect.

Jackson-Leigh Rathbobe – CfaN Evangelism Bootcamp is an amazing concept, unlike anything I’ve known before. The program design contains every element that is vital for success as described early in the advertising. I felt suitably challenged and encouraged. Obviously the COVID situation was unexpected and unique and I’m sure this had a bearing on the originally anticipated execution of EBC. That said, I was impressed with the tenacity and innovation of the staff in light lockdowns etc. Taking this into consideration, generally leaning toward the apprenticeship emphasizing the handson elements is and will be a plus. This experience has changed my life and, I trust, many others as a flow-on. I am truly grateful.

Kathy Leamon – I loved Bootcamp. It has marked me for life. Thank you for your obedience to the call of God on your lives. No one could train me and Jim for a call to stadiums but you! No one does what you do! Thank you for your faithfulness.
