CfaN reports mass salvation, church growth and impact at simultaneous crusades across Uganda
Evangelist Kolenda of Christ for all Nations (CfaN) and his team faced considerable spiritual opposition from radical religious groups and witch doctors during their recent trip to Uganda for extended crusades throughout Africa.
As the crusades continued, Kolenda had put out a call for prayer as riots began breaking out near where their teams were ministering. “🙏 Urgent Prayer for Our Team Member on the Ground in Kenya,” Kolenda wrote on social media. “The protests in Kenya have escalated into riots. The parliament building is on fire, and there are 10 confirmed dead so far. We have received warnings from several contacts that many cities in Kenya, including where we are currently parked, are experiencing riots. There are roadblocks, and some have mentioned that we could be targeted. Trucks might get stoned or set on fire. We could not pass earlier and have parked for the night. Please urgently pray for our safe passage tomorrow. We will be safe, but we urgently ask for your prayers.”
Nonetheless, God’s presence triumphed, sparking a revival across Uganda. Reports include miraculous healings, liberation from demonic oppression, and numerous conversions.
Impact extends across the nation of Uganda
The ministry is raising up multiple evangelists to do the work across Africa, resulting in significant impact and multiple crusades happening simultaneously across the nation. This includes the ‘CfaN Evangelism Bootcamp’ and collaborating with evangelists in an initative Kolenda calls the “Decade of Double Harvest.” The initiative is gaining momentum.
In Lira, the audience grew each night, responding passionately to the message of salvation. Kolenda highlighted a moment when countless hands were raised during the altar call.
In Hoima, a significant healing was witnessed: a woman named Kabababazi, who was paralyzed and labeled as the “mad” woman, was brought to the crusade bound. After the burning of witchcraft items and intense prayer, she experienced immediate healing, regaining her sanity and physical strength.
In Busia, a mute and demon-possessed girl, who had been silent and tormented for a year, began to speak and praise the Lord following prayer, marking her complete healing and liberation. In Iganga, despite sudden rainfall, thousands repented and accepted Jesus. In Gulu, individuals burned their occult items, freeing themselves from witchcraft practices.
Unprecedented growth of the church
Local churches are witnessing unprecedented growth as a result of the evangelism work by Kolenda and co. One church in Gulu reported a 400% increase in membership as a direct result of the crusade’s impact.
Ongoing Follow-Up and Discipleship Efforts
The goal of the mass crusades is salvation and discipleship. Getting new believers plugged into local churches is paramount. Each new believer receives a materials with core foundations of the faith, the truths of God’s word and guidance for new Christians. This booklet includes a follow-up form to help connect new believers with local congregations for sustained spiritual support and growth.
The next eight gospel crusades are being prepared for now across Uganda. These efforts will extend into July, with anticipation of a significant harvest of souls for Christ.
