JANUARY 2025 — INDIA REVIVAL CRUSADES

Greetings, friends! I want to share with you the open door that God has set before us in the days ahead . . . to preach the Gospel to up to 22,000 people and invest in approximately 1,000 preachers! — Evangelist Caleb Garraway

At the end of December 2023, Bro. Bharath Kumar (our man on the ground there in India) approached me on the behalf of several pastors and asked, “Bro. Garraway, when can you come over to be with us? So many of these preachers are wondering if you’d be willing to preach here… they want to see the Lord do a continued work of revival as He has done already through this film in India…. Can you please come, Bro. Garraway?”

Well, I honestly didn’t know how to respond to this – this wasn’t something that I was looking for or even expecting. Just a few months ago, I never would have dreamed that ANY of this with the “Redeeming Hope Crusades” would have happened. IT’S ALL THE LORD’S DOING!!

After praying about it and through the encouragement of several preacher friends — including my own Pastor — I’ve decided to go from January 5-12, 2025 and conduct 6 evangelistic crusades. Two of the meetings would be revivals held in two separate locations — each with anywhere from 200-250 pastors/churches involved with the potential of 7,000 people in attendance! The four other nightly services would be “Redeeming Hope Crusades” held in four separate places with the goal of 2,000 people coming to each meeting. In addition to this, on five of the mornings from 10am to 1pm in 5 different locations, I’d have the opportunity to teach around 200 national pastors each day.

I’m blown away! God has put before us an open door to preach the Gospel to up to 22,000 people and invest in about 1,000 preachers!

We need your help. After itemizing the expenses for this massive undertaking, we’ve calculated that it will cost $55,000 …. For the rentals, chairs, staging, lights, and transportation we would like to make available to help facilitate bringing in the multitudes from a 50 kilometer radius to each meeting.

To give some perspective on this — For the two large crusades with the potential of 7,000 people each, I would like to rent 500 autorickshaws and make them available to the pastors and churches represented. ….So instead of a dozen churches carrying the weight of bringing in a large crowd, now each pastor & church involved is responsible for bringing 25-30 people. An autorickshaw can fit 10-15 people (or even more as you can see in this video) and costs an average of $20 to rent. 500 rickshaws will cost us $10,000 per night!

We plan to rent 170 rickshaws on the four nights of our “Redeeming Hope Crusades”. (That will cost $13,600.)

ALSO — we would like to be a blessing to the pastors who’ll come to the morning sessions. I would like to provide them a very nice meal and cover their transportation costs. We’ve figured this to be $9 a preacher. Well — $9 times a thousand is $9,000!

I am asking for your help. Would you please prayerfully consider sacrificially giving to help make this evangelistic endeavor possible? Anything that you could give would be a huge blessing. We are specifically praying for 55 churches or people to sponsor this undertaking at $1,000 each. If God would lead you to give more than $1000, we’d be able to reach our goal much, much faster in this short amount of time.

Everything given to this undertaking is a direct investment into eternity and goes to our newly formed non-profit organization “Redeeming Hope Crusades”. (Checks must be made payable to “Redeeming Hope Crusades” and sent to P. O. Box 387, Washington, IA 52353. You can also make a donation online HERE or on the form below.)

Lastly and most importantly — please please pray…. We need the Lord. I firmly believe that WITHOUT intercession, there will be no outpouring…. My heart craves for the supernatural working of God during these meetings…. For a great manifestation of His power and glory! For souls to be saved. For the Holy Ghost to have great liberty. For God to light a Heavenly spark of revival among His people there in India. Please pray that He begins EVEN NOW preparing the hearts who will be touched with the Gospel. Please pray that God would grant wisdom to Bro. Bharath Kumar and our team as they work tirelessly with hundreds of pastors and coordinate this massive endeavor through the leadership of the Holy Spirit. And of course — please pray that God would continue to provide the funds needed. I know He will, and I’d be thrilled if He used you to be one of our partners in helping these meetings reach their full potential….

I believe the fields are white unto the harvest, the Lord could come back at any time — and the time to act is NOW.  God bless you, and together let’s see what the Lord is going to do for His glory and the furtherance of the Gospel!
