world. This strategy has long been on Evangelist Kolenda’s heart, and he expressed confidence that the upcoming “launch” is part of how God will fulfill the vision to lead twice as many people to Jesus in the next 10 years as CfAN did in its first 40 years. Evangelist Kolenda said, “Taking a concentrated moment to raise up fresh voices for the Gospel is hardly a waste of time. It’s going to bear extraordinary fruit.” And, as the Prophetic Panel demonstrates, CfAN has used its well-developed online presence to minister to thousands around the globe during the crisis. Daily reports come in of God’s miraculous power touching lives through His Word delivered across screens everywhere. And all of it has been made possible by the continued prayer and financial support of CfAN partners.

Surely it is a joy to share my testimony. My name is Priscilla. I was born and brought up in a poor Hindu family. Both my parents worked as daily wage laborers even till today. I have one younger sister. I grew up with idol worship and visited many Hindu temples in my childhood. My father has two wives and I am the second wife’s daughter. My mother and we two sisters used to live in a separate house away from my father due to harassment of my stepmother’s relatives. Now and then my father would visit us, but basically my mother is the one who raised us by working every day. She had to work to feed us. We two sisters had chal-
lenging times being left alone and neglected, no one to care for us when we were children. By seeing my mother’s struggles, blames and the frequent quarrelling’s among family members, I became very lonely and did not find anyone to share my feelings. Also, I did not understand “why my mother’s situation was like that”. Despite all those difficulties, a couple of times I happened to go to church with my grandmother. She was a seeker and later she accepted Jesus Christ. The situation which made me to turn to the Real God unfolded like this. At the time of 10th grade class exams results, for my first time, I sincerely prayed to pass and get good marks in my studies. Because
one subject I had not prepared very well and wrote exam very poorly. I had more chance to fail than pass. If I failed it would be a big shame for me because I was the 3rd ranker in my class, and all are having more expectations regarding my results. So, in that situation I remembered Jesus Christ and cried unto him and confessed all my sins, asked His help to get good results. Jesus answered my prayer amazingly and I got double blessings! I not only received good results on the exam, but also a Free seat to join Diploma in Electronics and communication Engineering (DECE). In this way Jesus turned my shame to joy miraculously. When I was thirsty to know more about Jesus Christ, he opened a new door wonderfully in this way. I was sent for college to another place 120 km away from my village. Both college and my hostel were placed in one campus only. As our warden was a Christian, she allowed few students to gather for worship. Some Bible College students came and would share the gospel once a week each Sunday. So, I experienced God’s love personally and accepted Jesus Christ as my personal savior and I also completed my 3 years diploma in electronics and communication engineering with a good percentage. After my diploma I came back to my home. My father was against Christianity and some
father. As I was growing in the Lord, it was nearly 2 years later that I was baptized. Following that year, I got an opportunity to work in an Electronics company in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India. It was also far away from my village. In that city I would stay along with my colleagues in an apartment. We were four girls. They were Hindus, but God used me to lead them to salvation in Jesus Christ. Some of the greatest challenges of my life in clude my family’s salvation. Later My mother did accept the Lord Jesus but my father until now is still a Hindu. Although my sister loves Jesus, but because of my father, she married a Hindu in 2005. I waited for a Christian believer to marry. None of my family members were interested in Christian marriage. I prayed four years continuously. During that time God gave me opportunities to participate in all church activities and to complete my graduation in Arts. God has given me more strength in all my sorrows. New doors are opened by God. God opened doors for my marriage amazingly. My church pastor’s family had honored me like their own daughter and took the initiative for my marriage. In 2011 amazingly God made my father to come down for the Christian Continuation on Page 7

HE’S ALIVE
... your spiritual life, your fami- ly life has begun to shake... you realize that you’ve been building on shifting sand; that you’ve been investing into earthly things, into carnal things. You’re so thankful to get online and watch church online on Sunday morning because you wouldn’t know how to lead your family in devotions. If that’s you, I want to challenge you to build upon the rock, to build your life on something that is more solid - the rock of God’s Word. Put all of your eggs in God’s basket. You don’t have to be afraid.” The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent societal shut down has forced many ministries to rethink their outreach strategies. This is especially true for organizations such as Christ for All Nations (CfAN) whose primary focus is sharing the Gospel of Jesus across the globe through dynamic, largescale, in-person events. For more than 40 years they’ve reached millions annually and their fruit speaks for the quality of their work: nearly 80-million individual people have registered first-time decisions to follow Christ at one of CfAN’s Gospel Campaigns. Nonetheless, out of respect for governmental authority, concern for public health, and awareness of God’s divine season, CfAN has canceled its upcoming schedule of outreach events. Although CfAN has not been “on the field,” the ministry has used the time to focus its energies on the next generation of world-changers. With a vision to train and release evangelists, Kolenda and his team have poured their years of experience into a group of 50 evangelists. Later this year, that group will be released into Spirit-led ministry all over the
