CityCelebration Report

Hello friends. Hope everyone has been doing well back in the states! We have been having a blast here in Zimbabwe! Today, we sent Amy, David, and Dan back to the states. So, it is just Scott and me for the next two weeks.

We have had several great days of ministry since my last message. We had a great crusade, or CityCelebration, Friday through Sunday. It was in one of the poorer, less “churched” parts of town. The first night, there were only about 20 people in front of the stage paying attention. However, when it was time for the alter call, 50 came forward to commit their lives to Christ! They were apparently listening from off in the distance where we couldn’t really see them. The second day about 350 came to the crusade, and the third day about 400 were there. Overall, about 350 came forward to say they wanted to give their lives to Christ! In fact, there are so many new Christians there that we have decided to plant a new church for everyone who attended the crusade!

There were a few people at the crusade who stood out. One young couple with a new baby attended all three days after coming forward the first night. He wrote an incredible ‘thank-you’ note for all of us on the third day I hope to get copied so we can share it. There were also two little 11 year old girls that came several nights and committed their lives to Christ who said that they had never heard of Jesus before.

We have 3 more days of ministry in schools here in Bulawayo, and then Scott and I are leaving for another city called Rusape to spend a week ministering in Churches and schools there as well. Please continue to pray for us and the thousands of students that will be hearing the gospel. Thank you again for all the prayer and support.

In Christ,
