Hallelujah!! Many said YES to Jesus! … at the Rwobuhura Crusade!
Hello my brothers and sisters in Christ! I hope you had a blessed Christmas times and I wish you all a prosperous new year.
I didn’t write much to wish you a merry Christmas and new year greetings, but I hope you all know that I was busy preparing for the crusade of ending the year 2010. I have now come to say thanks to you all for your support to help me do the work of God in fishing/winning souls for Jesus. May God bless you all for your support in all ways, because I believe that you have been there praying and your prayer helps a lot in doing this work.
As I was telling you, the crusade was to start on 28th December 2010 at 09:00pm, but it came to midday when I had not got the transport for machines and the team and the fuel. But God was faithful and helped me try by all means to see that we can go.
We left here for the crusade at around 05:00pm and I suggested that we don’t do the crusade on this day, but what surprised me was the number of people that were waiting for us at the church. We reached at around 7:30pm, but found a hundreds of people waiting at church and they said that we can’t sleep without sharing anything. So we had nothing to do apart from wiring/connect the machines and share little with them. I had to apologize for keeping them waiting till night hrs and encouraged them in few words that God has good plans for us all. So we went and rested. They touched my heart that night to see that they waited for the whole day and they really love the word of God.
Then on 29th we had a seminar in the morning and the message was to keep the vision/dream till it come to be fulfilled. This encouraged me a lot as we were sharing. We saw that there may come many things to discourage you from (or to kill) your dream/vision, but we need to go on as the pregnant woman. She feels much pain when carrying the baby in stomach, but she persists until she gives birth. Remember about Joseph. Many people were encouraged to go on no matter what. Then we went to the crusade in the evening and there it was wonderful. I saw the number of people that I have never seen in all crusades I have been to. We declared God’s love to all and many gave their lives to Jesus and we prayed for the sick and people testified immediately that they have received healing.
Then on 30th, it was wonderful because I was able to meet again with my friend pastor who helped me on learning English. (I hope you know about this if you have ever read on my testimony of how I learnt English.) It has been a long time not meeting him, but this time I was pleased to meet him again and He was happy to know how God is using me.
And also the pastor of the church that we were on was to be consecrated on that same day as a reverend. This pastor is the one that baptized me when I got saved, so I was happy to lead a crusade at the church he is leading and he was happy too for this. So we had a wonderful morning. That event was to take place at 02:00pm, so we had to have our seminar first and that day’s message was that we need to make our needs known to God, and cry to Him in all corners, for He is able to hear us and answer us. Remember about Hannah. So after the seminar his leaders came and led the event of consecrating him as a reverend and then went to the crusade. We had a MP candidate and LC5 candidate and needed our prayers to continue their campaign. I was blessed to meet such honorable guys.
On the crusade, I preached and the Lord was with me, because when I welcomed people to get saved, many people came in front and gave their lives to Jesus and it was great.
Then after seeing lives won for Jesus, the Holy Spirit led me in worshiping, and while we were still worshiping people started to receive healing, and then I prayed for the congregation. Afterwards, many people wanted to testify, but it was late so I gave only three to testify. One was suffering back pain for years and couldn’t bend it, but after prayers she was healed and bending well. Another one had tumor on her neck and was seen outside, but after prayers it disappeared and was no longer feeling pain. The third one had pain in chest and couldn’t breathe well, but after prayers he was healed and feeling well. I have never experienced such move of the Lord in my crusades. This time it was wonderful and I felt it even before leaving Mbarara. So I really gave the honor and glory to God for His miracles of healing winning souls for His kingdom.
Then on the last day, the 31st, we had no seminar because we wanted people to rest and be strong enough for crusade and overnight prayer welcoming a new year. So I travelled back to Mbarara for some reasons and then back to the crusade in the afternoon. We had our last crusade and then to the overnight prayers. I can’t tell you the number of the people that were there. I really liked the way these people love God and we thanked Him for all that got saved and I wish I had a video camera to cover the all attendance. About 350 people, young and old, gave their lives to Jesus.
So during the night on 31st, we had a wonderful time of worshiping, thanking God for 2010 and praying for His mercy and help in 2011. We entered the year while praying and thanking God. We ended at around 03:00am and got onto the truck and came back to Mbarara. It was hard to come back on the truck during that time of the morning and there were much coldness with much wind on the truck. I don’t know if any of you know about the wind on the truck, but we had to come back because we wanted to attend the services on the New Year day.
That’s little I have managed to share about this crusade. I ended up in little debt, but am trusting God to help me cover it in Jesus name, because His name was glorified in Rwobuhura. When we were leaving many people from other places were asking me to go and minister to there places too. I give honor and glory to God. WHO AM I?
Pray for God’s provision for me, so that I can be able to have machines (to use on crusades without hiring), a truck to transport them, a van to transport the team so that we can to do this work always.
Be blessed in all you are doing and have a blessed new year 2011 in Jesus name.
Your brother and friend Ev.Evard.
