November 2021: West Africa

Welcome to a glimpse of my life as an Evangelist! 

This month I traveled with 85 fellow Christ for all Nations Bootcamp Evangelists as we entered West Africa! This is a massive undertaking as 22 field leaders, 22 pastors, 22 counselors, 22 van drivers, 44 interpreters, 44 security men, and 11 Gospel truck drivers joined together to go 22 separate ways to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ! Just this week alone I have seen thousands of decisions for Christ along with too many healings to count! None of this would be possible without your prayer and financial support. From the bottom of my heart, I give thanks to you for believing in me and supporting the call of God on my life. 

Every morning our team begins the day with worship and prayer before we hit the marketplaces, schools, and streets.  We prepare our hearts and position ourselves in the right posture, as a servant, before we preach the Gospel! I have preached to children and adults both young and old. The people of Africa are beautiful and I consider it an honor to be here living life with these precious people created in God's Image.   

After our morning devotional time, we are divided into small teams where we are given our assignments for the day. Each day we make 6-10 stops at different locations--schools, marketplaces, streets, or villages. Friends, the harvest is ripe! I have witnessed hundreds upon hundreds of people begging for prayer and asking questions to learn more about Jesus. Often times I have returned back to the hotel with a hoarse voice because I have exerted myself in sharing Gospel stories and prayer.  

 

Upon returning to the hotel, we gather together again to share testimonies and a team meal together. This is a time for us to reflect and celebrate all the Lord has done. We laugh and we cry, together. We are an army of warriors with only one goal in mind--to know Jesus and make Him known. We lay down our lives to spread the Good News!

Testimony Time: Just today as my team and I went back out into the mission field to do kid crusades we saw over 4,000 children not only give their lives to Jesus, but also get touched by the Holy Spirit. There are many schools, many souls in need of the Lord, and only so many laborers or support to send us. Matthew 9:37-38 says, "Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” Partner with me as we change the world for generations to come!

What's Next? I have two more weeks in West Africa on my initiation trip.  The final week will consist of a massive open-air crusade where Evangelist Daniel Kolenda will be preaching at what is expected to be the largest Gospel Crusade in the WORLD, EVER! Millions of people will attend this event and encounter Jesus. After this Africa trip, I will head back to Orlando, Florida where I will graduate from the Christ for all Nations Evangelism Bootcamp! Just this week it was announced that I have been accepted to join CfAN in their next upcoming Decapolis Gospel Crusade Campaign in Africa. This is where there will be several crusades going on simultaneously in 5 different cities! This internship will give me an opportunity to learn how to do in-depth crusade organizing, behind the scenes, alongside experienced Evangelists who have traveled the world. With this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I will need to raise support for travel expenses. I’m believing that between GOD, you, and me, we can do this financially, TOGETHER!.

Not all are called to GO, but all are called to GIVE! There are several opportunities for you to partner with me in the future, and I look forward to sharing this journey with you as we bring the Gospel to the nations!

October 2021: Call to Action

Dear Friends, Family, and Ministry Partners, 

It is my greatest privilege and honor to welcome you to my first newsletter as I embark on my journey to become a full-time Evangelist.  Please read my update below and know that you are each in my thoughts and prayers daily. I can not do this mission alone and am thankful beyond words for your support and prayers. Let's do this, TOGETHER! 

The Burden

My friends, I want to share with you a burden the Lord has put on my heart. It is something that burns within me, day and night, and I must act. The burden deep within my heart is, “NOW is the need for Salvation.” See, the world is full of evil and sin, bringing humanity further from GOD. There is no government package or worldly cure that can save souls. Salvation is found only through Jesus Christ who is the same yesterday, today, and forever! 

The Lord called me into full-time ministry and I am laying down my life to be a traveling Evangelist, bringing hope to the hopeless, and light to the darkness. Tomorrow is not promised and there is an urgency to bring the Gospel message to others, NOW! I thank you in advance for partnering with me and supporting me as I follow the Lord wherever He leads.  

Mark 16:15-18 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”

Accepted the Lord’s Call to Proclaim His Gospel

In January I applied to be part of a prestigious program and was accepted out of thousands of applicants to attend and be equipped to serve and minister to the nations. I moved to Orlando, Florida in August and have been busy laboring for the harvest ever since. For the last 3 months I’ve been training at Christ For All Nations (CfaN) Evangelism Boot Camp, where I have intensely studied how to plan, prepare, and preach at open-air mass Gospel crusades by world-renowned Evangelist, Daniel Kolenda.  Many compare this Boot Camp to the Navy Seals, as it is a difficult and rigorous training including classes, exhibitions, reading/writing assignments, tribunals, volunteering, and serving at American Gospel crusades. Experts such as Evangelist Levi Lutz, Evangelist Jared Horton, Evangelist Erik Levoyer, Jako & Karin Hugo, Todd White, Dr. David Remedios, Eric Gilmour, Scott McNamara, and many others have poured into my life teaching me in areas such as spiritual discipline, crusade planning, the art of altar calls, theology, and preaching a Biblical Gospel message. I have encountered God in a whole new way while deepening my relationship with Him. I have seen salvations, healings, and deliverance take place in the streets of Orlando and life transformation happen before my very eyes. NOW is the time for me to take what I have learned in Orlando and apply it to Africa! 

What’s Next?

In just a few short days I will be traveling to Africa for the CfaN Evangelism Boot Camp initiation trip with around 100 of my fellow classmates as we bring the love of Jesus to the people. I will be proclaiming the Gospel in kid’s crusades, village outreaches, and one on one evangelism, leading up to the LARGEST mass Gospel crusade in the HISTORY OF THE WORLD! An estimated 2 MILLION people will attend and hear the Gospel presented by Evangelist Daniel Kolenda and other CfaN missionaries. Many of these people will be hearing the Gospel for the very first time and experience the power of the Holy Spirit. Each person who makes a decision to follow Jesus at these crusades will connect with a local church where they will be discipled and grow in their faith.  Generations will be impacted, leaving a lasting legacy on not only families but communities. 

On November 20, 2021 I will graduate from the CfaN Evangelism Boot Camp with a certificate of allowing me to partner with even more evangelists on the field. Then, I will be prayerfully planning and preparing for my next assignment from the Lord, ministering in Kenya, Africa, in July 2022. I am also partnering with my fellow Evangelism Boot Campers and planning to bring the Gospel to India in November of 2022. The harvest is ready, we have to GO! 

Testimony Time

In the photo below, CfaN Evangelism Boot Camp students were ministering at a Gospel Crusade in Orlando where the Lord delivered this woman from bondage and completely set her heart free of pain. Afterward, she gave her life to Jesus and filled out a decision card. Now she is in a follow-up discipleship program where trained pastors will walk hand-in-hand with her as she grows in her faith.
