MIRACLES AND TRANSFORMATION
Uganda is undergoing a significant transformation as a powerful wave of revival sweeps across the nation. Our current series of FIFTEEN mass crusades, including five that have just concluded and two more scheduled for this week, is making a HUGE impact on the nation.

SIGNIFICANT VICTORY
The latest Uganda Crusade took place in the Lubaga District of Kampala. This area was strategically located between a mosque and a witch doctor’s shrine, and it was once considered the most wicked and darkest place in Kampala. This Crusade represents a significant victory for the Kingdom of God! Hallelujah!

400% Church Growth!
Tonight, we concluded the second week of crusades here in Uganda, wrapping up the first seven of fifteen planned events. The response has been phenomenal. Already hundreds of thousands have come to Christ and the count is still rising!

Witch doctors, demoniacs and madmen!
If you read my report from last night, you know that as a team, in all four cities, we preached about the blood of Jesus last night and went after witchcraft and idolatry, which are strongholds in these cities. The response has been overwhelming. Many attendees have surrendered items linked to the occult—fetishes, charms, amulets, idols, and books—for destruction. We've witnessed numerous individuals freed from demonic possession and oppression. This trend continued today.

Enough is enough
Tonight, I had the privilege of preaching in the city of Gulu, Uganda. Jim Leamon is one of the evangelists carrying this crusade (Jim and Kathy are a husband-and-wife team stationed here. Both graduated from the CfaN Evangelism Bootcamp). He wrote:
"Tonight, Evangelist Kolenda returned to the city of Gulu, Uganda to the exact same field he was on in 2012. This is the third night of the crusade where the crowd has grown exponentially each night. And tonight was no exception. The people began gathering hours beforehand to hear the message he would deliver. Evangelist Kolenda rewarded them with a clear gospel message on the blood of Jesus and thousands responded to the salvation call."

Miracles in droves
Today I traveled to the city of Iganga, one of four cities where CfaN crusades are ongoing this week in Uganda. Evangelist Gary Smith described the scene beautifully.
"As we were pulling up to the field, you could feel the charge in the atmosphere! Some people of Iganga walked for more than 4 miles to the crusade field. As the sun was setting, a wind suddenly began to bring much cooler air and even lightning in the distance. Despite the sudden change in the weather, there was also a sudden change in people's lives as Evangelist Kolenda began to pray for salvation! Thousands of people lifted their voices in unison, repenting and asking Jesus to be Lord of their lives. This indescribable sound of people crying out to the Lord never gets old. In fact, it hits you in the heart, full of compassion, love, and awe of the goodness and mercy of God. While the people cried out to the Lord, it began to rain, but nobody was leaving. It was a beautiful symbol of new birth in the Spirit."

Intense Spiritual Warfare
The spiritual warfare is real here in Uganda. Earlier today, some of the Bootcamp students found themselves in a terrible situation. They were trapped and detained by some radical religious fanatics for trying to preach the Gospel. It was a potentially dangerous moment that put our whole team on edge. The crusade director here in Kampala told me that, as this was going on, he received two phone calls at the exact same moment. The first call was to tell him about that situation where our students were in danger. The other call was telling him that witch doctors were on our crusade field pronouncing curses on our team!

Her House Full of Flies
Tonight was the final night of the first week of our campaign here in East Africa where 15 crusades are being conducted in Uganda alone! This week we have been busy with the first three crusades, and we will conduct four more in the second week.

Wave of Revival!
Tonight, I preached in the city of Lira, Uganda. It’s hard to express the joy I feel in my heart as each night I pull up to a new field where a crusade is ongoing, and I’m greeted by the dozens of CfaN team members serving there, many of whom I have not seen for months. Technicians, organizers, preachers – most of them CfaN Bootcamp Graduates, all carry the same heart for the lost and the same DNA of crusade evangelism. There are now five generations of these grads, several of whom have literally spent years on the field since graduating! I think they are the best and most experienced crusade team in the world at this point and they all feel like family to me. What a joy!

Delivered from Demons
This morning as I was leaving the city of Hoima, we drove past the crusade field where I preached last night. It was early in the morning and the field was empty, except for a large group of intercessors who were gathered there on the field, crying out to God and praying for the meetings (which will continue there through Sunday night). I saw those same intercessors on that field when we arrived in Hoima yesterday as well.
