Proclamation Reaches Millions in Nigeria!
After experiencing unparallelled numbers for attendance (6 Million)
and spiritual decisions (3.4 Million) at a 6-day Millenium Crusade
in Lagos, Nigeria, Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke returned to Uyo,
Nigeria in March where more than 720,000 people made spiritual
decisions for Jesus Christ during the week-long Gospel Crusade.
The Holy Spirit is using proclamation through ministries such
as Bonnke's Christ for the Nations to call millions from darkness
to light. (Christianity Today, Feb 5, 2001 Issue, and Christ for
the Nations website.)
Proclamation Events Bring Church Unity
Following a recent state-wide mission in Maine by the Luis Palau
Evangelistic Association, Dr. Art Gay, senior pastor of First
Baptist Church in Portland remarked,
"We've never had 600 churches ever in fellowship with a common
goal—in our country here about 160 churches—that's going
to teach us and help us discern what the Holy Spirit is saying
to us next."
Another said, "Mission Maine has been a catalyst to unity,
with a few thousand people receiving the Lord. You pray, you prepare,
you proclaim, then you preserve. That's where the churches are
going to ahve to stp up to athe p late. That's the cooperation
I've seen between a parahcurch organization and the church. I
think it's a great marriage."
