The Harvest is Happening in Thailand! – Mae Sot – Gospel Crusade
Dear Mission Partners,
I am overflowing with thanks to God! On the same weekend that CfaN was in Venezuela, we also held a Gospel Crusade in Mae Sot, Thailand for three amazing nights. It smashed all our expectations! I want you to hear it in the words of Evangelist Mattheus Van der Steen, who preached every night:
“Just a very short distance from our crusade field lies the border with Myanmar, where fighting continues and countless families are suffering from war, displacement, and uncertainty. Yet in the midst of so much pain and darkness, the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ is bringing hope. What a time to preach the Gospel! What a time for the harvest!”
On the first night, precious Thai people came from Mae Sot and surrounding villages, and many responded to the Gospel. Our teams collected decision cards late into the night.
Then came night two. Evangelist Mattheus said:
“Thousands of Burmese people flooded the crusade field. Many came from refugee camps, having lost their homes, loved ones, and everything they owned because of the terrible war. But tonight, in the midst of their darkest hour, the light of Jesus broke through! When the invitation was given, thousands responded to receive Jesus. Children, families, and elderly people came forward, many with tears streaming down their faces. Even the forecast thunderstorms changed direction, and we preached without interruption.”
The hunger was so great that we ran out of registration cards before the preaching even began!
The final night – a holy moment
With both Thai and Burmese translators on stage, it flowed supernaturally. Evangelist Mattheus shared:
“Thousands of Thai and Burmese people stood together, lifting their lights and declaring: ‘Jesus, send me! Send me to my village, my family, my nation!’ What a holy moment. This is how the Gospel multiplies. They came to hear the Gospel. They left to carry the Gospel! And then the fire and power of the Holy Spirit fell! Especially among the young generation, we witnessed unforgettable encounters with Jesus. I truly believe Mae Sot will never be the same again. Heaven’s burden becomes heaven’s assignment. And heaven’s assignment becomes a harvest for generations!”
When Kimola arrived at the Gospel Crusade, he couldn’t walk. A stroke four years ago left his legs paralyzed. During the prayer for the sick, a woman laid hands on him, and Jesus touched him! He came to testify that he had been healed and walked back and forth across the stage several times to demonstrate the miracle the Lord had done for him.
For ten long years, Pititra suffered with hip pain that radiated down her leg. Every step she took was painful. But on the first night, when the sick were prayed for, she realized that the pain was completely gone. She danced with Evangelist Brady Liette on the stage, giving Jesus the glory!
Steven Lee had a bad fall at home six months ago, and ever since then, he had been in severe pain. But as the sick were being prayed for, he told us, he had a sensation in his back as if someone was massaging him. He testified that Jesus had come to him and healed him, so filled with joy, he could not stop smiling. He stayed on stage and danced for about 20 minutes!
Those thousands of lights on the field in Mae Sot did not start with this crusade. They started with people who decided to be part of something bigger than themselves. Men and women like you gave, month after month, until a field was ready and the Gospel could be heard.
Right now, I am on my way to our final Gospel Crusade for 2026 in Calabar, Nigeria. You can have a part in this harvest move of God! When you become a CfaN Monthly Ministry Partner, your steady giving helps us plan ahead and reach the next town, the next city and the next nation. Join us and let’s see what we can do together for God.
Together with you for the harvest,
Evangelist Daniel Kolenda
