July 2002 - Daloa, Cote D' Ivoire Crusade ReportDear Friends and Partners,Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever! That was the theme of our week-long crusade in the great country of Cote D' Ivoire. With months of planning and preparation behind us we arrived to a city full of expectancy. We had been advertising on radio and through handbills and posters that God was going to show Himself strong through signs, wonders, and miracles. We made special invitations to the sick, crippled, blind, and maimed. We knew it would take notable miracles to make an impact in this Muslim region in West Africa. After months of prayer, planning, and hard work the city was ready for the crusade. The crusade grounds filled with thousands the first night. After preaching Jesus and salvation in His Name, God began to miraculously heal people throughout the crowd. So many tremendous miracles happened that night that when we called for those who would receive Jesus as their Lord it seemed as if every hand went up. That's not normal in a Muslim stronghold. The next night the crowd nearly tripled, over 20,000 came to hear about Jesus and to be healed. Again we experienced the same results when the altar call was given. Night after night God healed those that came and those that watched the miracles gave their hearts and lives to Jesus. We estimate the last nights attendance exceeded 60,000 and the response to receive Jesus was overwhelming!  One night a wonderful lady was testifying that two very large tumors had vanished from her stomach when a roar of clapping and praise broke out on the crusade field. A 23-year-old man who was crippled from birth and who almost everybody knew suddenly rose to his feet and began to walk. His friends were jumping and shouting around him as he made his way to the platform. This young man astonished everybody with his tremendous miracle. Soon eight to ten more who were crippled or lame rose and began to walk! What a night of miracles! What a tremendous, loving God we serve!
God continues to amaze us with His love and miraculous power! As you read this letter we will be holding a miracle crusade in the nation of Honduras. Neja and I thank you for helping us take Jesus to the nations of the world! Your missionary evangelists,
