a note from Tamryn.
What a glorious crusade we had in Angacha Town, Ethiopia! Be blessed by the report and images that follow. Next, we will be crusading in Adilo, Ethiopia (10 - 13 December) before our team breaks for the Christmas season. Our evangelists in Limpopo, South Africa continue proclaiming the Gospel in whatever bustling marketplace they find opportunity. They are excited to be organising a more formal mini-crusade in the village of Mahonisi (16 - 20 December). Please keep these events in your prayers as we push to end what has been a somewhat challenging year on a high note. In these strange and taxing times, hearts are hungry for the Good News and we are eager to preach it!
remote location liberation.
Our crusade was God-breathed in every way. Over four days of meetings, thousands accepted the Risen King as their Saviour.
Angacha Town is located in the Southern Region of Ethiopia. Our crusade there was God-breathed in every way. Due to the global pandemic, the governing authorities of Ethiopian towns remain unwilling to grant permission for large gatherings. Yet, village communities are more open, the pandemic not having infiltrated these remote locations. Angacha Town is one such community, one also dominated by other religions. Even with all the churches of surrounding village communities having been brought on board, there were still only fifteen churches in total who laboured with us, all small and rural. We say that to say this. While everything pointed at our time in Angacha producing more of a mini than mass crusade, our Jesus had other plans for these gatherings. Over four days of meetings, thousands became followers of Jesus. These fifteen churches “exploding with growth” is an understatement. New churches are being planted, larger churches established and the Kingdom of God advanced. Hallelujah! From where we were being accommodated, it took our team one and a half hours to navigate the 30km to Angacha Town (around 18 miles). I say “navigate” because the terrain resembled a 4x4 course, the roads having been utterly eroded into a treacherous mix of ridges and caverns.

miracles in abundance No similar meetings have ever been held in Angacha Town. In fact, the local believers had to build a wooden bridge over a certain crossing to allow both our team and the truck carrying the sound equipment to reach the crusade field. In each meeting, the response to the invitation to receive the Lord as Saviour was fantastic, with thousands confessing their faith in Christ. Our eager army of ushers worked diligently to collect the details of new converts and over 20,000 pieces of follow-up material were distributed. Praise the Lord! Testimonies of miraculous healings abounded. Alemitu is 40 years old. Four years ago, she was diagnosed with both breast and womb cancer. She also had a large tumour in her womb and was in constant pain. During prayer, she felt the hand of the Lord touching her body and all signs and symptoms of unwellness disappeared instantly. “I am free!” she expressed, smiling broadly on stage, her delight evident. Meselech is 48 years old. For the past fourteen years, she had suffered from unrelenting bladder and kidney infections. The discomfort was intense and merciless. “During prayer, I felt something leaving my body,” she explained. “Suddenly, all the discomfort left. I can feel in my body that I am healed!” The crowd rejoiced with her. Abebeh is 70 years old. She leaped about with incredible energy, shouting and ululating as she came on stage. The sensation of a snake moving throughout her body – a common sign of demonic activity – had brought with it much pain and torment over the past eight months. She both received the Lord as Saviour at our crusade and was utterly liberated from this foul torment. “I am leaving changed!” she exclaimed. “I am a new person. Jesus has made me new!” Abera is 50 years old. One year ago, he went completely deaf. During our crusade meeting, his ears popped open. Now, he can hear perfectly. Understandably jubilant, Abera raised his hands to heaven, bounced about elatedly and expressed his thanks to the Lord with unreserved praise. We celebrated with him!

During our last service on Sunday, Tamryn gave a final teaching on how the Holy Spirit desires to fill every believer with Himself and use them to preach the Gospel, with signs and wonders following. We then prayed for all believers in attendance to be filled to overflowing and the results were glorious. An army of soul-winners has been equipped and empowered. How thrilling! Dearest friend, your faithful support has made it possible for this precious, remote community to be forever changed by the Gospel. Our sincerest thanks for sending us into the highways and byways of Africa. In His Name, this continent shall be saved!

mini-crusade feedback Our team in Limpopo, South Africa descended upon various shopping hotspots during the month of November, setting up their speaker system and preaching the Gospel in the parking lots of grocery stores, pharmacies, butcheries and the like. Those queuing for services provided by post offices and government departments continue being targeted with fantastic results. A marvellous total of 1 811 men and women received the Lord as Saviour due to these soulwinning initiatives. Volunteer training and intercession for a more formal mini-crusade in the village of Mahonisi (16 - 20 December) has also begun. Let us keep this zealous team undergirded by our prayers as they win the Limpopo for Jesus!
