GREAT KABALE HARVEST FESTIVAL

Last week was a great week in Kabale. The church of Christ in Kabale was hosting visitors from USA working with A Light to the Nations Ministries, who came to Kabale for a gospel crusade.
The Visitors came Tuesday 5th July and the Crusade started on Wedenesday 6th July 2011 up to Sunday 10th July 2011.
People came from as far as 200km away just to hear the word of God. Many brought sick people for prayers.
Pastors of over 15 churches in Kabale city came together to host this big crusade and each pastor was so committed to the success of this great event.
Every day would start with a conference where the visitors would take time to teach the word of God to the believers and leaders. And then the afternoon more people would join in worship and praise. The choir would lead praise and worship for some time as more people would be ferried in. Many especially those who come from very far were ferried in with trucks but others walked despite the scotching sun. I watched in amazement as people walked in tired but happy, hungry for the word of God! Some carrying or helping sick people.
After several hours of praise and worship then Ev. Dana Morey the leader of the team would come on the stage to deliver the message of the day. As he preached you would see that people are very attentive and taking in his message from God word by word. And them he would make an alter call inviting all those who would love to receive Jesus and hundreds would lift up their hands in total surrender to the King of kings and Lord of lords, Jesus. By the end of the crusade there more than 13,000 people who had committed their lives to Jesus for the first time. This brought a lot of Joy in our city as we saw hundreds every day fill up the decision cards.
Then the Evangelist would start to pray for the sick, i was surprised to see the multitudes of people who put up their hands in need of prayer! We saw so many people receive miracle healing in the name of Jesus. There are many who had not seen for years and they received they sight again, the lame walked and several people who were mad were delivered. Many people in Kabale still practice witchcraft and many people run to witch doctors seeking for help and they end entering into covenants and soul ties with evil spirits through witchcraft. Sometimes these people run mad. But as the preacher started to pray for the sick, many people were delivered from the powers of darkness.
Then the preacher did something incredible, he called out all the people who had witchcraft and fetishes to bring them forward, he called for a big container and asked for petrol and they were set on fire, people started to rejoice and celebrate and to the amazement of every one people started to be set free left and right.
By the end of the week, there was great joy in the city. When the crusade ended, people went back home rejoicing in the Lord, saying that we will never be the same again.
Our visitors went to back to USA on Monday.
Thank you Jesus for this glorious week and for the great harvest of souls that came into the kingdom!
