Arrival in Ugep, Nigeria
Tuesday, 19 January 2010

Yes,
we arrived today in Ugep/Cross River State/Nigeria to a tumultuous
welcome. Such excitement and expectation! It stirs our hearts. What an
honor and privilege to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ! Tomorrow the
Crusade begins and we expect great things from God. Please pray for us
as we stand at the frontline of the Gospel. In spirit we are here
together with you, our dear partners in the Gospel. Please stay tuned
to “the mighty acts of God”.
Yours here from Ugep,

Ugep is charged with faith
Wednesday, 20 January 2010

What
a wonderful start here in Ugep! Have a look at the crowd-picture. The
Gospel rang out as clear as a bell and a wave of salvation followed.
The prayer for the sick yielded glorious healings: A blind man saw, a
crippled walked....
The atmosphere was charged with faith – gripping the congregation as well as the preachers. Faith
breeds boldness. The leading men in Jerusalem “saw the courage of Peter
and John” (Acts 4:13). Their fearlessness was plain for all to see.
Israel’s supreme judges with their fossilised traditions were shocked
into wide-eyed astonishment at the sight of mere Galilean fishermen
addressing the court with the confidence of kings issuing edicts. The
Bible is the book of the bold, not the cringing.
We will continue to preach this glorious gospel with great boldness here in Ugep. Please continue to pray for us.
Yours on God’s harvest-fields,
Evangelist Daniel Kolenda,
Together with the whole CfaN Team.
Ugep is Buzzing!
Thursday, 21 January 2010

We are experiencing a mighty surge of Gospel impact here in Ugep.
Even now I can hear outside my window the thousands of people who have
literally flooded the streets on their way home from the meeting, which
doubled in size from last night. The word is out…Jesus is here - and all of Ugep is buzzing!
The response to the Gospel message tonight was overwhelming and the miracles were popping like popcorn. A
23-year-old woman deaf and dumb from birth heard and spoke tonight with amazing clarity. The crowd could hardly contain their joy when she repeated after me; “One”, “Two”, “JESUS!” It was glorious!
A woman who had been paralyzed on her right side demonstrated how she had received full use of her arms and legs. She went walking and leaping and praising God like the man at the “Beautiful Gate”. I choke back the tears as I think of it now.
A woman brought her son who had been insane for last 15 years. He had been completely mad; violent and uncontrollable. Now he spoke softly and was in his right mind. He told me that Jesus had healed him. Praise the Lord!
This
morning was also the start of the Fire Conference and Rev. Peter van den Berg and I were amazed by the responsiveness of the people. They
have not come just to be spectators; they have come to receive and I am
sure that they will in Jesus name. Stay tuned, much more to come…
Yours in the Gospel,
