A NOTE FROM TAMRYN Behind us lie two South African crusades and two Ethiopian crusades, each one being used by the Lord to catapult thousands into His embrace. We now move forward to our last crusade of 2017 that will be held in ARBA MINCH, Ethiopia from 7 – 10 Dec. Some of you will remember that we were planning an October crusade in Hosaena, another Ethiopian town. Unfortunately, such has been postponed until early next year because a voracious rainy season has turned our crusade ground into a swamp. We look forward to impacting HOSAENA for Jesus come 2018 and using the small break in our crusade calendar to make our time in Arba Minch even more impactful. In His Name, Africa is being saved!
THE GLORY OF GOD IN GABA Situated in the Limpopo province of South Africa, no crusade has ever been held in GABA – until now. A seven-hour drive from Johannesburg, Gaba is like most rural African villages: forgotten by man, but not by God! From 23 - 27 August, this precious community experienced our Jesus in all His glory as He saved, healed and delivered. Night after night, men and women flooded the local soccer field. Between our precrusade outreaches and the crusade itself, a fantastic total of 15,200 people have surrendered all to Christ. Hallelujah! The details of each have been collected and handed over to local pastors for follow-up. The queen of GABA and two royal advisors accepted the Lord publically, responding to the altar call for salvation together with the people. This thrills our hearts. Ancestral worship and witchcraft are rife, with many who received their healing, accepting Jesus as Saviour after they discovered He can truly do what the witch doctors cannot do. Prayer for the baptism of the Holy Spirit yielded magnificent results, His presence overwhelmingly thick and tangible, the Lord inspiring and empowering His children to be His hands and mouth. One elderly lady, who was healed by the Lord from all manner of ailments, berated us for not having come sooner, “I have been suffering for a long time,” she voiced. “Why did you only come now?” Our hearts both sunk and soared at this rebuke. We are pushing as hard as we can, but there are so, so many more places still needing to be told about Him. Do read the testimonies that follow and be abundantly blessed.
Gaba responds to the Gospel.
Prayer for the sick.
The people of Gaba were so hungry for Jesus and were very open to His touch.
Ev. Tamryn and Ev. Samuel pray for the baptism of the Holy Spirit together with the interpreter.
GENSON had broken his leg in an accident in 2012 and relied on crutches to walk. Following prayer, this precious gentleman can now walk unaided. The crowd rejoiced with him. Having shared his testimony, he returned to his place in the crowd, his crutches left forgotten by the stage. MERIAM is 70 years old. “I have not been able to bend or walk properly for five years,” she explained. “I used to stay at home because of the pain. During prayer, I felt the power of God entering my waist and knees. Now, I can walk freely and bend properly. Jesus is alive!” SARA (49 years old) had been plagued by demonic activity for decades. “My stomach felt terrible, like there was a snake moving around in it. At night, I could not sleep.” She visited the local witch doctor for treatment but nothing helped. Sara was desperate. At our crusade, she both received Jesus as Lord and was delivered from that evil, serpentine torment. “My life has changed completely. I thank God for all He has done for me!” STEPHENAH (41 years old) had endured severe pains in her spinal cord following the birth of her one child. Such made working and sometimes even walking, extremely
difficult. “During prayer, I felt a cold sensation entering my spine and flowing over it. I am free! The pain is gone!” Stephenah wept on stage, overjoyed. GLORIA (56) had suffered from a severe stomach ailment since 2013. “It felt like something was constantly cutting me up on the inside,” she explained. “I had no appetite because of the pain. The doctors at the hospital tried to help me but nothing worked.” Gloria shook under the presence of God as she shared her story. “The pain is gone,” she exclaimed. “I am free. I feel like a new person!”
One of the many incredible, assisting pastors receiving his certificate of appreciation.
Crutches are lifted high in the air by our Crusade Director as a healing testimony is heard.
We so enjoyed having several evangelists and some of their team members join us for this crusade, men and women who are passionate about soulwinning. May they take what they have learned and use that knowledge to win thousands for Jesus! We also awarded certificates of appreciation to all the pastors who assisted us during the crusade planning process. It was a very special ceremony with many hugs and enthusiastic handshakes. Yes indeed, together with your prayers and support, GABA has been forever changed! We can say this with all confidence.

THE NAME
ABOVE ALL NAMES In Matthew 8, we read about how Jesus healed the servant of a certain centurion. The story is a fantastic one, causing Jesus to give this Roman leader the compliment of all compliments: “Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!” It is interesting how the centurion did not once use the term “believe” in his correspondence with Jesus. Yet, Jesus commended his faith. What the centurion did address however – and very adamantly – was his firm conviction that Jesus was a mighty authority figure in the spiritual realm. Paul speaks about the name of Jesus being above any other name (Phil 2:9). Before these words had even been written, this centurion had that revelation. What can we derive from this? Faith, dear friend, has less to do with worked-up emotions and more to do with a deep, heartfelt understanding of who Jesus really is. When we truly grasp that our Lord is the ultimate and unshakeable authority, faith comes quite naturally.

by TA M R Y N K L I N T W O R T H Our salvation was a result of having a revelation that Jesus is the Redeemer of this world and could be our Redeemer, personally. However, this is where the faith of many believers stop. They believe that Jesus has saved them from sin and eternal judgement because they have had this revelation. Yet, He saves His children from more than just sin and hell. Our Lord is the supreme authority over ALL that is dark and oppressive, whether sickness and lack or depression and addiction. He is Healer, Provider and Deliverer. Do you have a revelation that He is all these to you, dear believer? This is why the Bible teaches that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17). Scripture teaches who Jesus is towards us. As our understanding of Him grows, so does our faith. Mediate on Scriptures regarding His healing power and your heart will be flooded with the revelation that He is Healer. Mediate on Scriptures regarding His chain-snapping might and your soul will sing with a deep knowing that He is Deliverer. Mediate on Scriptures regarding His allproviding, never-forsaking nature and your being will rejoice with the realisation that He is Provider. How marvellous!
