Crusade #4 - INDIA
My friends!! 🔥🙌🏻 Praise God!! 🔥🙏🏻 THANK YOU for your prayers during the fourth crusade of “Redeeming Hope”! (This time held in Uyyuru, Krishna district, Andhra Pradesh, India.)
My heart is overwhelmed! Katie, myself, Bro. Shiflett, and Bro. Kumar have wept many sweet tears rejoicing over 😭🙏🏻 ANOTHER MIGHTY & MARVELOUS OUTPOURING OF THE SPIRIT!! 🙌🏻🔥
God broke through… Over 600 in attendance with 200+ trusting Christ as their personal Saviour!
Bro Bharath shared me: "One of the greatest news I heard was from one local pastor ... that 70% of people attending are unbelievers. They have no idea about Christ. They all are Hindus and Muslims." HOW INCREDIBLE!!!!
👇🏻 Here are a few of the testimonies that were recorded and translated for you to read. (These stories of redemption and revival represent so many others touched by Heaven!!) 👇🏻
✅ “I'm a wretched sinner; I've done a lot of bad things; I'm living a sinful life; I thought many times that no one loved me nor could forgive me. But after I watched this movie, I understood how God loves everyone and cares for me, even though I'm very far away from Him. I'm really thankful to the Lord for His love and mercy. What a wonderful God! He is my forgiver. He died for me. After I watched this movie this night, I submitted my life to the Lord.”
✅ “When I heard and got an invitation that there would be a movie tonight, I thought there would be something normal, like maybe some superheroes or some movie with things like that. But when I watched this movie with my tears, I understood the burden of this movie director and Denver character, and really, I thought these were all Hollywood movie people. But Bro Bharath Kumar gave the wonderful testimony of this movie and how it's gone, the making of this film, and all the characters involved. I was really shocked. All these are Christians, and especially all these God's servants. I'm truly thankful to the Lord for the vision and burden for the entire team to make this great film to understand the Gospel clearly, and I really understand the plan of salvation for each individual. Thank God, today I have more faith in our Christ.”
✅ “Today I came to watch this movie. I come from a Hindu family background, and we have been doing idol worship for many, many years. When I watched this film, I understood very clearly that “there is no other way to go to heaven”, only in Jesus. Even as we are in Catholic churches, I understand there is no difference between us and them because we are all doing idol worship…. Even so many Christians worship Mary and make a lot of sacrifices in different formats like this. But when I understood very closely, especially when the Roman Catholic Church priest came and had a discussion with Denver. He got more confused. I even felt the same thing. But today I understand very clearly that there is no other way for people to go to heaven. There is only one way; it is Jesus and Jesus alone. What a great hope we all have! This is the thing that I need!”
✅ “In my family, I'm the only person who knows about our Lord; no one has accepted Christ as their personal saviour and Lord. They are all living in this worldly life; I pray for them and am burdened for them. Today I invited them to watch this film. They watched this wonderful movie with me. Please do pray that, as I know my saviour, they may know Him too. Continue to pray for my family and their salvation. I don't want to see them go to hell. I want them in heaven with me.”
✅ “This movie touched my heart. Even though I'm the worst sinner and have done so many bad things, there is a God in heaven who loves me unconditionally and sheds His precious blood for me. Thank God for the great hope in Jesus. Today, I witnessed His goodness in my life. I know of Christ, but I don't have a personal relationship with him. But after I watch this movie, I clearly understand that God loves me more than I deserve. Today I accepted Christ as my personal saviour and Lord.”
✅ “Many times, it's very hard to tell people about Jesus, but this film is a great tool to explain who our God is and what he has done. Sometimes words may not affect the person, but when they see things in reality, like in this movie, they understand clearly the value of life and the value of salvation. I thank God for the film makers for making this great film available in our own language. It was so blessed to watch this film. Thank you so much!!”
✅ “In this movie, when Denver started to preach the Gospel to Marco at the end, it really touched my heart. Today at this film, I saw many people being witnessed to for His glory, like Marco. Many people raised their hands for salvation. What a wonderful day this is! Thank God for this wonderful film!”
✅ “What a wonderful movie. I really thank God for the wonderful opportunity to watch this great film. I really thank everyone who made this great film. I want to talk about the preacher who shared the gospel with Denver about to take his life. This is what everyone must have; we need to share Jesus with everyone; we don't know how other people feel about their lives; many people are waiting to talk with someone, and they want to listen about their need for Jesus. I felt the same thing when I watched that great scene; I literally cried at that time. As Bro. Bharath Kumar shared the testimony that the great man of God in the film is in heaven, everyone got emotional, and we felt very bad to know that he is not on this earth, but we are rejoicing that he is in heaven. We are wishing a very happy birthday to the wonderful man of God on his special day, even if he is not with us. We remember what he has done for the Lord.”
👉🏻 Friends, today is my dad’s birthday…. He is in Heaven, looking down as a part of that great cloud of witnesses…. What a tribute to post this report on this special day. ❤️🙏🏻😭🙌🏻
Please pray for us. A 5th crusade has been paid by for a dear pastor friend and church in Pennsylvania. Praying for more open doors and a harvest of souls!!
We need your prayers.
