Dear Mission Partners,
We have some really interesting pictures of our adventures for you to enjoy today. It began with a visit to the Governor of Imo State here in Owerri, Nigeria. At the governor’s mansion I was invited to speak to the governor, the first lady, the deputy governor and all the top cabinet leaders of the state. It was a precious opportunity to represent Jesus to those in high places. After our visit, the governor and I appeared in a press conference together with all the regional media where I was able to invite the public to come to the crusade.
In the afternoon we met with our amazing team members for a make-shift Christmas dinner. This is our yearly tradition. It is a time of joy, laughter and thankfulness to God for His goodness this year. Several of our team members faced death over the last months on different occasions as they transported our equipment through war zones. Our trucks have bullet holes in them as an enduring testimony to the Lord’s faithfulness and protection over the team. Most of all we thank the Lord for another year of historic harvest!
Tonight, the governor, his wife and their entire government entourage attended the crusade and were present throughout the service as I preached the Gospel. Afterwards the governor asked if we would come back again. It is clear that we have an open door here in Imo State.
After I preached the Gospel, many wonderful miracles took place. A woman with a severe infection in her leg leaving her unable to walk, said that as I was praying tonight, the power of God came over her. She fell to the ground and when she got up she saw how that infection had literally drained right there on the field and she was able to walk perfectly. A couple ladies with large lumps in their breasts said that they vanished instantly. Eyes and ears were healed. Cripples walked, danced and ran without their crutches!
One of the ladies who had been crippled said that as Eddie James was leading the worship, she felt like she had to get up and dance, and when she did, she was healed. She left her walking stick behind and went home rejoicing.
Tomorrow is the final day of the Fire Conference where I will minister with Peter Vandenberg and John Darku. Please pray for a mighty outpouring of the Spirit.
Yours in the Gospel,
Evangelist Daniel Kolenda
Together with the whole CfaN team
