| AFRICA HOPE AND DESTINY CRUSADE-TANZANIA |

As the darkness fell each night in Dar Es Salaam, with Muslim prayers blaring from the speakers surrounding Jangwani Grounds, threats of violence, machete bearing guards and armed police patrolling the site, we heard the voice of God saying," Trust ME, I will show Myself mighty during Ramadan." Over 25,000 Books of Hope were distributed to people at altars during the Hope and Destiny Crusade. God is calling his people to a powerful new place, not just at the front lines, but even behind enemy lines with his Word. Special thanks to those of you that joined with me in the 30 sec "prayer for the night" on FACEBOOK AUG 18 and the results that followed! |

Satan resisted at every level. Even, when Kenya Airlines went on strike, our flights to Tanzania were canceled and the airport was like a riot -- of you prayed! God turned the entire course of the strike to get us to Dar Es Salaam on time. The Jangwani grounds resounded with praise, power and the word of God as Pastor Jimmy Jack challenged the largely Swahili audience with the promise of God and Dr. Ron Kenoly ministered in music along with Rapper Jazz from Harlem. It was an honor to share the platform with these mighty men of God and the Lord showed Himself mighty. AGWM Missionary Jeff Garret and leadership from Tanzania Assemblies of God showed tremendous leadership in the crusade. Tens of thousands flowed into the grounds and met God powerfully at the altar each night. |

Dr. Ron Kenoly brought powerful music ministry to the Hope and Destiny Crusade. His ministry in praise and worship ushered in the presence of God in a powerful way to quench a thirst that water cannot reach. |

Rev Doug Wever of Global Teen Challenge taught 2 day seminars on follow up to hundreds of Pastors to protect the legacy of Lasting fruit." He and Mike also worked to meet with a team of pastors a lay people and AGWM leaders to form a steering committee to launch Teen Challenge in Tanzania. |

In Africa, running "the snake" takes on a whole new meaning for the sound team. It was a challenge to always keep watch along the wires for the "other snake" that might just be enjoying the shade and music. Can you see it on the left? On the right our machete wielding worker invites the snake to the altar where he "met Jesus." Talk about time to die to self! |

The excitement and joy captured by Mike Zello at the altar in the 3 minute video to the left is a compelling image of how God changed addicts, Hindu's Muslims and the lost alike. These are not "mature believers" following a fashion of praise that they have learned, , but the unbridled joy of those who have personally encountered the savior for the first time. |

I have just two weeks to tie things together here in the states as I prepare to leave for Africa again, with Swaziland on schedule September 15 for the ALL AFRICA training with Rev Mike Zello and Kevin and Helen Ward at Emafini. Please pray for the Staph infection I am still fighting to resolve and cellulitis to go AWAY!

5) Pray for workers for the Harvest ...Teen Challenge Centers in 86 countries need staff and we currently have invitations to start Teen Challenge in 43 nations. They are crying out for help. They need the power of God to meet a pressing social need... but we know it has a SPIRITUAL ROOT.
We offer SPIRITUAL RESOURCES to meet the need.
MATTHEW 9: 37 Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. 38 Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.” |
