After
having ministered in several places in Egypt and some forbidden
areas of the Middle East and China the opportunity to hold a crusade
in Nepal miraculously presented itself. I first heard about the
freedom that had come to Nepal in the latter part of May 2006 and
immediately began to ask the Lord to raise up someone to go into
this nation while the window of opportunity was open. It had been
against the law to convert Hindus to Christianity but I knew God was
about to do something new among those of this nation that had been
held in prison for so long. Through a series of divine events over
180 pastors from Nepal organized and participated in putting a
crusade together in September of 2006 in the city of Kathmandu.
Together
the pastors and I set out to test the new found freedoms and
publicly invite Hindus to come to Jesus and to accept Him as the
only true and living God. From the first day God did extraordinary
things in the meetings. Every morning we held a special meeting for
the pastors and leaders and in the afternoons there were meetings
for everyone. Every bus and van that we could rent and that was
donated was packed to capacity inside and outside. The people came
hungry for a move of God and the power of God was present to both
heal and save.
We
watched as the Lord Jesus Christ did signs and wonders, the mute
spoke, the deaf heard, the blind saw, the crippled walked, devils
went out of those possessed and Hindus were transformed by the power
of Jesus. Yes there were some in the meeting that did not get healed
and some who did not surrender their lives to Jesus but some of the
pastors told us that this was the largest gathering of Christians
that they had ever witnessed in Nepal. Others told us of their awe
over the display of the power of God and we all rejoiced in God who
makes all things possible.
On
the last day of the three day crusade we had the largest gathering
of pastors and church leaders of the previous days. I

did not count
them but I am told that more
than 2000 chairs were set out and they were all occupied. The
afternoon meeting was also the largest of the previous meetings
with some estimating the crowd to be as much as 10,000 people.
During the testimony time there were more people testifying of
miracles and salvations than we had time to hear. At the time of
the altar call for salvation the front was packed with hundreds
of people. I prophesied as I beheld an open vision and saw peace
come to the Nation of Nepal, which took place within two months
of the crusade. I also spoke saw the nation of Nepal receive the
church and the Christian community as an asset and blessing to
the nation, a process which also has begun.
If we would have had more
buses and vans we would have had more people in the crusade.
Many of the people who desired to come had to be left behind
because there was no room for them. Please believe God with us
that no one who wants to come to these historic meetings at the
National Stadium this March will be denied.
