More than a third of the population of people of Bunjumbura, capita city of Burundi was at the meeting.
Read this message from our friend Daniel Kolenda:
Dear
Mission Partners,
We’ve
just returned from the State House where the President of Burundi lives with
his family. Our team was invited to be their special guests after tonight’s
Gospel meeting. We had another full service. There was wonderful worship, I
preached a Gospel message, gave an invitation for salvation, and we prayed for
the President and his top government officials who were all present. I’ve never
seen anything quite like it before. They truly fear the Lord and desire to
serve Him.
Tonight’s
final meeting, of this Gospel Crusade, was an amazing success. The only
difficulty that we had was the size of the crowd. There were so many people
that were pressed onto that field. I was concerned, at certain points, that
someone would suffocate. We removed the barriers so that the people could fill
all the available space in front of the platform. As you can see from the
pictures, the platform looked like a raft floating on an ocean of humanity!
More
than a third of the population of the city of Bujumbura, the capital, was at
the meeting tonight. Tens of thousands of people responded to the Gospel. Deaf
ears opened, cripples walked, and many other miracles took place.
The
last time that Christ for all Nations was in Burundi for a crusade was 25 years
ago. Today there is a whole new generation, and most of the hundreds of
thousands that attended this week’s meetings were young people who have now had
a life-changing encounter with Jesus. The bishop sitting next to me on the
platform told me that all three of his children were filled with the Holy
Spirit last night. He said that they were so drunk in the Spirit that they had
to be carried off the field. So many young people were saved, healed, delivered
and baptized in the Holy Spirit this week that it’s hard to even imagine how
the future will be affected. History has been made here! The future of Burundi
is very bright.
Today
is my birthday, and I could not think of a more wonderful gift than the
privilege of sharing the love of God through Jesus Christ. Thank you for
standing with us, shoulder-to-shoulder, in this historic harvest of souls. Now
our hearts and prayers move to Rwanda where we will be in a few weeks for
another Gospel Campaign. Please pray for us as we make final preparations for
another massive harvest here in Africa.
Yours
in the Gospel,
Evangelist
Daniel Kolenda

About Daniel Kolenda
Daniel
Kolenda is a modern missionary evangelist who has led more than 10-million
people to Christ face-to face through massive open-air evangelistic campaigns
in some of the most dangerous, difficult and remote locations on earth. As the
successor to world renowned Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke, Daniel is the president
and CEO of Christ for All Nations; a ministry which has conducted some of the
largest evangelistic events in history, has published over 190 million books in
104 languages and has offices in 10 nations around the world. He also hosts an
internationally syndicated television program.
Daniel
is a gifted, fifth-generation preacher whose ministry is marked by a powerful
evangelistic anointing and incredible miracles after the model of Jesus;
preaching, teaching and healing. The blind receive their sight, the lame walk,
the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear — he has even seen the dead raised —
but most importantly, the poor have the gospel preached to them. It is this
single minded Gospel emphasis that makes the ministry of Daniel Kolenda and
Christ for all Nations so unique.
Daniel
is a graduate of Southeastern University on Lakeland, Florida and the
Brownsville Revival School of Ministry in Pensacola, Florida, but his greatest
education has come from the years of ministry side-by-side with his mentor and
spiritual father Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke. Together they have circled the
globe preaching the Gospel and continue to do so as a single-minded team with
great effectiveness.
As a
previous successful pastor and church planter Daniel holds a tireless
commitment, and dedication to the Church. More than half of the cost of every
evangelistic campaign is invested in a “follow-up” system to see every convert
become a faith-filled, fearless, disciple of Christ and member of a local
church.
Daniel,
with his wife Rebekah and their children, Elijah, Gloria, and London, reside in
the Orlando area.
