Crusade #12 - INDIA
🔥 REDEEMING HOPE CRUSADE #12 🔥 “Such a wonderful and powerful meeting, sir!!” Bro. Bharath Kumar eagerly messaged me yesterday at the beginning of the service. And truly, he was right…. Thus far, this has been our LARGEST CRUSADE YET!! 😭❤️🙌🏻🇮🇳
Pastor Yehoshuva in Edarapalli, Andhra Pradesh invited our team to hold a Crusade in conjunction with his Christmas festival service. He pastors a church with four campuses; his uncle also pastors two churches in the area simultaneously. These six churches, along with 10 other pastors came together for the event, working very hard at inviting the surrounding communities, providing free food to all who came.
Pastor Yehoshuva was anticipating around 800 people — but he never expected the massive crowd that would attend!! People were literally everywhere.
OVER 2,000 WERE SERVED A MEAL!!! (The food originally arranged was insufficient so they had to go out and get more!) At least 1,500 stayed to attend the service (60% of them were Hindus) with well over 500+ SOULS trusting Christ as Saviour!! TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!
The crowd was so large that it was broken up into different sections. One sat in the “auditorium”, another under the pavilion, and many many more outside on the grass. The massive 12 foot by 8 foot LED screen that we rent was split up (it’s comprised of several panels) to make two separate screens so the crowds could watch the film at the same time in both places.
Here are a few testimonies of lives touched and changed by the power of the Gospel!! 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
✅ I have been living in a darkness and worst sinful life, I have alote of sins in my life, I tried to overcome from all the sins and temptations, but I couldn't do it. Today I came to this meeting from someone invitation, and God touched my heart. While I watching the movie, I understand greatly no matter how wretched sinner I am, God can forgive my sins. He is the wonderful Saviour. I submitted my life to the Lord.
✅ I am a Hindu, I have been doing idol worship for so many years, but I didn't find any true happiness and joy in my life. I have been struggling to find peace in other gods. But today as I got invitation to attend this meeting by someone, literally God touched my heart while I am watching the movie. I understood that I was lost in my life. When Denver looked around at those idols in Catholic church, that same darkness I have been living through since many years. But today I found who true God is and what He can do to overcome in darkness in my life. Thank you for the wonderful hope in Jesus.
✅ Such a powerful movie, especially when Denver is taking his life. I thought he will die, and literally I never expected that Pastor to go back after the hero did not care to listen to him. I thought the pastor would never come back. By watching that great scene literally tears came. But suddenly Pastor came back and he knocked the door it literally touched my heart, I felt like God is knocking my heart, what a wonderful presentation. God has concern for each and every soul no matter how many sins we may done, God loves us and He will forgive us. Today I was forgiven by the Lord, as I prayed I cried and repented of my sins, and I submitted my life to the Lord!
✅ What a wonderful movie it is! Thank you for the clarification about who is Jesus and What He can do. I surrender my life to Jesus as hero surrender his life to the Lord.
✅ There is no greater joy in this world to know about Jesus. What a wonderful God he is, He is the only way of salvation. Thanks for the wonderful clarification though this wonderful movie. I submitted my life to Jesus. Thanks for the director and his vision for lost souls. It touched so many hearts today, as it was touched to my heart.
✅ It was so wonderful movie, we never had any experience like this, today we came with zero expectations but God touched our hearts, when Preacher knocked the door and shared about Jesus, literally I felt like he is talking with me. Because many times I never cared to listen God's message. But today I understand how my Pastor is concerned about my salvation. I understand very clearly today how God had concern about my salvation. I submitted my life to Jesus. He is the only way. Thanks for the wonderful clarification through this powerful movie.
✅ Today I came with two of my daughters, I requested them many times to trust in the Lord for salvation, but they never cared about my words. Today I forcefully brought them to here, we watched the movie together, they came to me right after meeting, they said to me, “We understand now the importance of salvation and we understand what Christ has done for us.” They accepted the Lord and they would also like to take water baptism. Literally I cried for their words. It was a great testimony in my entire life, I never thought my daughters will submit their lives to the Lord, but praise God, they trusted in Him for salvation. Thank you so much for everyone who make this meeting this much effective! Many souls are coming to the Lord by this wonderful movie. Thank you so much everyone who make this great tool to available for His glory!
“This is the LORD's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes” (Psalm 118:23). 😭🙌🏻🔥
Pastor Yehoshuva was so encouraged by our team and ministry, and He asked us to pray to conduct many meetings in this area down the road. He is very willing to help conduct many meetings in different areas. Bro. Bharath shared with me, “He is requested us to conduct Gospel revival crusades in the month of May. He is expecting at least 5000+ people he will gather each day of crusade!” ‼️ Please make this a matter of prayer. 🙏🏻 Consider the great impact this could make!!
Many people also came up to Bharath and Pastor Yehoshuva after the service, asking them — “When will there be a water baptism service? We would love to take water baptism!” The Pastor is planning to hold this service on January 1st, and we look forward to receiving that report!
There are several more Redeeming Hope Crusades this week!! PLEASE PRAY!! There’s even one going on RIGHT NOW!!
