Following our Lord’s directive, we prayed and were led to hold our first monthly crusade in a town called Adiembra.  It is a Muslim outlying district of Takoradi.  Even though it is predominately a Muslim area, at night it is common to see the younger people walking aimlessly and smoking and drinking.

For two weeks prior to the crusade, we took the students to the area to bathe it in prayer and invite people to the crusade.  During the crusade, about fifty students were involved, from leading music, working the sound system, interpreting, serving as counselors, serving on prayer teams, deliverance teams, children’s teams, ushers, and altar call ministers.

The crusade went well.  A group of Islamic men came to “visit” the second night of the crusade because they did not appreciate the message Aaron preached the night before that Jesus is the only way to heaven.  They stayed for a while to make sure that Pastor Stella, our Bachelors graduate of 2009, did not—in their own words,  “repeat Aaron’s mistake.”  Of course she was preaching the truth from God’s Word as well.  When they started to make a “ruckus,” our students encouraged them to remain peaceably or leave peaceably.  They chose the latter, but we pray God’s Word entered their hearts, and they will heed the message they heard and come to Jesus.

Among the new converts was a 92 year old man, which shows that you are never too old to receive Jesus!  Our students reported healings and deliverance from alcoholism among the people they prayed with.  One man who came forward for healing said by the time the crusade was over, his pain left.  He said, “It was gone in stages, but praise God it was gone!”

We did not leave the children out!  Our converted Muslim student, Afiba,  took them to a separate area and shared the gospel on a level they could understand.  From the picture, they looked pretty happy about what they heard!
