Showers of Blessing
Dear Mission Partners,
As the second night in Ethiopia comes to a close, we stand amazed by all God is doing. Tonight, the Gospel was proclaimed, miracles took place, and Jesus was glorified. I had the privilege of preaching again in Hawassa, where the crowd doubled from yesterday. The energy was electric, far beyond what local leaders expected.
After leading thousands to Christ, we witnessed the ever-unforgettable scene – barrels filled with occultic items set ablaze as people cast off chains of bondage and fear. The fire burned, but what it symbolized was even brighter – freedom in Christ. Afterwards, Evangelist Mark Morozov led a powerful prayer for healing, and the crowd rejoiced as bodies were restored.
Meanwhile, in the city of Dilla, Evangelist Randy Roberts faced an unexpected challenge – rain. It came down in sheets, soaking the crusade grounds. But the hunger in the crowd was stronger than the storm. Even standing in mud, they refused to leave. After preaching, Randy prayed for the sick. Here’s a few testimonies from tonight in both cities.
Bortukan, who had suffered severe back pain for over 20 years, was instantly healed after prayer. She tested her healing by doing squats with a smile!
Betel, who struggled with asthma for 17 years, is now breathing freely for the first time.
Tariku, who had pain on the left side of his body for three months, saw that pain completely vanish.
Turrufat, whose eyesight had been failing for 18 years, can now see clearly and confirmed her healing by counting fingers at a distance.
Serfekasa, who battled kidney problems for eight years, tested her healing on stage by doing squats pain-free.
Tomorrow, I’ll join Randy Roberts in Dilla, while Gary Smith and Mark Morozov continue the crusade in Hawassa. Please keep us in your prayers as we press on in the power of the Gospel.
Yours in Christ,
Evangelist Daniel Kolenda

The Gospel is the Answer
Dear Mission Partners,
The first night of our crusades in Ethiopia has just ended, marking another step in our historic initiative. As we near our 50th anniversary, we’re pressing into God’s promises and witnessing something extraordinary. So far, we’ve completed 33 of the 50 planned crusades, with 17 left – 9 of which will take place in Ethiopia in the coming weeks.
This week, crusades are in full swing in Hawassa and Dilla. I started tonight in Hawassa, where I’ll preach again tomorrow before heading to Dilla for the weekend. Evangelists Gary Smith and Mark Morozov will continue ministering in Hawassa, while Randy Roberts leads in Dilla until I arrive.
It’s been 12 years since Evangelist Bonnke and I were last in Ethiopia. Since then, the country has faced political unrest, conflict, and economic hardship. The 2020 war displaced millions, sparking a humanitarian crisis. A peace agreement was reached in November 2022, but the nation is still healing. We believe the Gospel is the answer, and we are preaching it boldly.
The response in both cities has been overwhelming – joy and freedom are palpable! It’s a preacher’s paradise!
After I preached the Gospel, Gary Smith prayed for the sick in Hawassa, and Randy Roberts did the same in Dilla. Here are just a few of the incredible testimonies:
Deme, a soldier with a gunshot injury who couldn’t bend his knees for 7 years, was healed! He left walking and jumping, pain-free.
Sambre, who suffered severe neck pain from a car accident a year ago, was healed and can now move freely.
Delube, who had leg pain from a motorcycle accident four years ago, was also healed – squatting without pain.
Yanathan, who had nerve pain in his leg and vision issues for the past year, received a double miracle! His leg pain disappeared, and his vision was restored – he can now read the Bible without trouble!
This is just the beginning of what God is doing in Ethiopia. The spiritual battle is intense, but we know the enemy is defeated, and Jesus is being lifted high! We press on in prayer and faith, expecting many more lives to be touched.
Thank you for standing with us in prayer. The harvest is great, and we are privileged to witness it firsthand.
Yours in Christ,
Evangelist Daniel Kolenda
