Crusade #13-#20 - INDIA
CRUSADES #13-20:
🔥 5,600+ IN ATTENDANCE with over 1,570 TRUSTING CHRIST through “Redeeming Hope Crusades” #13-20!! 🔥😭🙌🏻 Our great God has truly done “exceeding abundantly above all that which we ask or think”.
I have decided to share ONE REPORT of the last EIGHT “Redeeming Hope Crusades”. (With the busy-ness of the holiday season, we took advantage of this precious time together as a family before heading back out on the road again on January 5th with our intense travel schedule . . . . Also we are extensively producing our next family album set to release soon!!)

💥 December 28th — Alamuru 🇮🇳 400+ in attendance with over 100 trusting Christ
💥 December 29th — Venturu Village 🇮🇳 700+ in attendance with 250+ trusting Christ
We are OVERWHELMED by the amount of impact God has done through this ministry in the last 10 days. . . . It is simply staggering!!
Thousands of people were graciously fed by the local churches hosting the meeting; many were given transportation to come hear the Gospel for the very first time through “Redeeming Hope”. Blankets were distributed to the widows, the blind, and the poor. Every crusade was supported by at least a dozen pastors (with the crusade on December 27th having over 50 involved!!) These men of God and their people worked tirelessly to make these meetings possible!
Each Crusade contains its own story of Heaven’s marvelous working. These meetings were held in spiritually darkened and oppressed areas, heavily influenced by paganism and idol worship. In some places there was even danger of the meetings being attacked by radical groups of unbelievers (a large crusade held in an area that hates Christianity is bound to attract attention!!) but no threats ever materialized. Some of the extremists even came to eat and watch the movie!! This is the power of our God!!
A vast majority of the people who attended these Crusades were unbelievers — Hindus, pantheists, drunkards, addicts, prostitutes, and people of all ages. I don’t know how many of them had ever heard the Gospel before, but Bro. Bharath and I speculate that at least 90% of them had NEVER heard it before in their lives ‼️😭🙏🏻🙌🏻
I’ve decided to include SEVERAL testimonies in this report (but keep in mind that these are only ONE THIRD of the testimonies we received)! Many of you have told me that reading these is your favorite part! Mine too!! 😇❤️🙌🏻
✅ Me and my wife are struggling with so many personal issues in our lives. Many times we got broken because of my drinking problem, and we don't have peace in our family. Many times I use very bad words, My wife and I many times went to the police station and we stand in front and we approach the court for divorce. Especially I’m the one who applied for divorce, she doesn’t want divorce, she wants to live with me a peaceful life because she is a Christian. So today while I watched the movie between Denver and his wife, I understand how my wife is praying for me and asking the Lord for peace in between us, because she loves Jesus. So this is the day I have to go back to my wife and need to say sorry for all the mistakes I have been doing, because I submitted my life to Jesus.
✅ My life is worst day by day, I am addicted to this wordly life, every single day I'm trying my best to overcome all my temptations, but I can’t be able to overcome. Many times I heard about Jesus, but I never thought He will forgive my sins, I thought he is only the God of good people. I thought I don't have any rights to pray to him. And even I thought he will only be concerned about good people. Today I came here to watch this movie, and I understand how God can forgive no matter how many sins I have done and how much far I have been living, He will forgive and He is willing to save my life from eternal Hell fire. And I realized He has died for all sins of this world. He cared for me and He died for me. I never thought it was this much easy to know more about Him. Today I know Christ forgiven my sins as I prayed to Him. I have great hope in Jesus. I submitted my life to Jesus. Pray for me.
✅ What a wonderful movie. God loves everyone. As I came from Hindu background, I never thought God loves me this much; I thought Jesus is God for English people and many times I thought he is English God, and I thought He is not our God, and I never understand his love before. Many times people are telling Jesus died for your sins. I thought how could someone died for my sins, I thought they all are foolish, because I have to pay the penalty by doing some sacrifice to our gods. But today as I understand God's love, He already forgiven my sins and died for me. His love is greater than anything in this world. I understand greatly how God loves me, no matter my caste or religion. He loves me and forgiven my sins. Thanks for the great hope In Jesus. I submitted my life to Jesus!
✅ My daughter is living in depression from last couple of months. Every day her husband coming home with full of alcohol and He sometimes beating her too. Because of this, many times she told me that she don't want to live this life, she wants to die. She attempted suicide many times. Today we got invitation from the local pastor, as he said we are going to have meal together, and there is movie tonight, so we came hearing something about hope. We don't know what is going on, but while we watched the movie we understand the value of life and how God is concerned about each and every one. He touched our heart and we learn about Jesus. Thank God. He is the only one who can change our situations. Me and daughter found great peace in our lives in Jesus.
✅ While I watching this movie, I got tears. Because it was similar to my life story, I was living as same life. I had many bad experiences in my life, because of addiction to alcohol. My wife and I had no peace in our lives. But today God touched my heart while I watching this movie. As Denver submitted his life to Jesus, I done same thing while in prayer. Please do pray for me I'm trying my best to overcome all my sins, but I couldn't able to make it. I see now I need Jesus in my life.
✅ Once upon a time I lived a very blessed life, I had everything. I lived a luxurious life, and I enjoyed a lot and slowly I addicted to all kinds of stuff, alcohol and betting, I lost my all assets. All of my family and friends left me. I have been living a very worst life. No one loves me or cares about me. I thought of commit suicide many times. But today I found great hope and love in Jesus. I never thought my life could change. I surrender my life to Jesus. I have a great hope in Him. He loves me and He forgiven all my sins. What a wonderful God Jesus is. Thanks for the wonderful opportunity to watch this movie.
✅ I came from Hindu background, we have been doing idol worship since many years, and today we got the invitation from the local Pastor. So I came and watch the movie. I understand the clarity of saving knowledge. I have been believing only through good works we will go to Heaven. But when I watched the movie I understand very clearly, there is no other way to go to Heaven, only through Jesus, because He is the light. We are living in darkness, so we need His light. I learn that Jesus forgive my sins and shed His blood for my sins. I trusted Jesus as my Savior. Please pray for me I want to more know about Jesus.
✅ I lost my wife recently. We had one son. My son got married, we don't know exact reasons my daughter in law left my son, she went with another man. My son is having great difficulty in his life. Today I asked him to attend the meeting, we came with hopeless situation in our lives. Literally we are cried while we watched the movie. We understand greatly people may leave but God never leave us nor forsake us. He is always with us. Thanks for the great privilege to watch this wonderful movie. We both were truly blessed. We found hope in Jesus. We submitted our lives to Jesus.
✅ This movie is very similar to my son’s life. We watched it today at this crusade but we did not sit together. He is having all kinds of bad habits, he left his wife, they are living separately, they don’t have peace and happiness together. He came right after the movie and told me that, I confess my sins, I understand how wretched sinner I am, I want to submit my life to Jesus, I want to live a happy life with my family again. When my son came to me saying to these words I literally got shocked, and I cried a lot because my son got saved today. My son has now a great hope and purpose to live his life because He trusted the Lord for salvation!
✅ My husband left our family. I have tried to contact with him many times, but he is not responding to us and he is not having interest to live with us. Me and my children were in helpless situation, many times we try to commit suicide because of the society and all our relatives are mocking to us. Today I came to watch this film and I understand the value of life, Because God has great purpose in our lives. People may leave us, but God never. We found hope in Jesus. What a wonderful Saviour He is!
✅ There is no greater love in this world except Jesus. It was wonderfully to know about Christ love through this movie. Many times we heard about Jesus how He loves us. But today I watched very clearly with my eyes how He loves and can save us from the Hell fire. Thanks for the clarification through this movie. I trusted Jesus as my Savior. He is only God.
✅ I never knew that, there is a God in Heaven who came down this world, and died for my sins, and who forgiven my wretched Sins. It was so powerful to know through this film. Today God forgiven my sins, as I trusted Him for salvation.
✅ Our entire family, have been doing Idol worship since many years, but we never found real happiness and joy in our lives. We tried many way to find hope, really we don't know what will have happened after death. Fortunately today we came to watch this film, we understand the God's love and forgiveness. Even though how far we may live from God, He will always be there for us. And He died for our sins, and today we found hope in Jesus. Thanks for this wonderful film. We want to know more about Jesus.
✅ I'm a house wife, my husband works very hard to feed our family, but literally I'm careless house wife. Always I used live my life. I never showed love to my husband. I'm a self centred women. Today I came to watch this movie. I understand the importance of wife role in husband and wife relationship. The way hero wife is waiting for him and praying for him, it really touched my heart. I decided to live a Godly life, and I take a decision today to live a happy life with my husband. Pray for me as I submitted my life to Jesus.
✅ I lost my father recently, I have one sister. Me and my mother and my sister we are living together. After my father died we have been facing many difficulties in our lives. Especially we struggling with financially. The total burden I have to take, I have been struggling with many problems in my life. I'm a cab driver. I never knew about Jesus before, but today I attended this meeting with hopeless situation with heavy burden in my heart. And after watching this film, I understand greatly whatever the struggles I have been going through there is a God, His name is Jesus. He will take care of those. I submitted my life to Jesus. I found great hope in Him. He is true God. Pray for us.
✅ I'm an old man, Once upon time I had everything, I had food to eat, clothes to wear, shelter to live. After years, my own son sent me out in his house, I was living in cattle shed. No one is here to show love on me. I don't have hope to live. But I came to watch this movie, I understand that there is God Who is in Heaven and He loves me. People may leave, but not God. I submitted my life to Jesus.
✅ Since so many years, I have been watching many secular movies. Truly I want to say I'm a movie lover, I love the movies most. I never had any experience for Christian movies. I heard from someone there is a movie night today. So I came to watch the movie with zero expectations. Literally I don't have any idea what is going on here. But when I watched this movie I understand the reality of life and the value of life. This worldly movies may impact us to lead a sinful life, but this movie touched my heart. I understand God's love. No matter how wretched Sinner I am, Jesus loves me and He died for me. I submitted my life to Jesus as Hero Denver submitted. Thanks for the powerful clarification who Jesus is and what He can do for His people! God changed my life. Pray for me.
✅ It was so powerful movie, thanks for the great privilege to allow us to watch this movie. Because in our village we don't have any kind of experience this before. It brings a great joy to watch the Christ great love on the big screen. It was so encouraging for us. Thank you!
After reading such powerful and beautiful testimonies, my mind immediately goes to Psalm 107:14-15 — “He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder. Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!” GLORY TO GOD!!
I’m so very happy that everyone who came to these December crusades were able to receive a QR code “Redeeming Hope” card in Telugu…. We printed 10,000 at the beginning of the month, and there are only 500 left!! PRAISE THE LORD!! #GospelSeed 🌱🌾
We also praise the Lord for the safety He gave our team as they drove a total of 3,000 kilometers this past month to the 13 different Crusades. Sometimes they would not get home until 3 o’clock in the morning, just to turn around later that afternoon to held to the next meeting. I’m so proud of these young men for their tireless dedication and sacrifice!!
Furthermore, God gloriously and miraculously provided the funds for every single one of these meetings! It has been incredible to behold His blessing on this evangelistic undertaking…. This has only been possible through the personal sacrifice by many of you and your churches. On behalf of the multitudes who’ve heard the Gospel and come to Christ — I, Katie, Bro Bharath, and the young men (who work with him) would like to say a huge “THANK YOU!!” Your investment has made a huge eternal impact!!
*****PRAISE REPORT***** Since October 18th, by God’s grace and through Holy Ghost power, we have held 20 “Redeeming Hope Crusades”. To the best of our knowledge, over 🔥 13,150 different people have attended with 4,120 precious souls 🔥 accepting Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour!!!! YES — “THIS IS THE LORD’S DOING; IT IS MARVELLOUS IN OUR EYES”!! (Psalm 118:23)
And I believe is just the beginning. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 God has opened SO MANY “great and effectual” doors…. Scores of pastors who attended these meetings are requesting for us to come to their villages, show the film, and hold a crusade . . . . They fervently desire to see the Lord bring Heavenly breakthrough in their community just as He has now done so wonderfully in 20 different locations (in addition to where the Lord has also been using Bro. Shalem Raj — update on those spiritual adventures coming soon)!!
WE NEED YOUR HELP through fervent intercession and financial support. There are many many things in the works…. Please reach out to me if you would like to be a part of these exciting evangelistic undertakings for the glorious furtherance of the Gospel!
