HARVEST HIGHLIGHTS

2021

FROM THE PRESIDENT As we look back at 2021, we wanted to take a moment to personally thank you for standing with us in prayer and through your generous support to Christ for all Nations! You share an eternal reward with us for every soul that was saved and set free! Here is an excerpt we received from Macoby Donaldson (Director of the CfaN Evangelism Alliance) as we close out the year: “This year CfaN along with the participating members of the CfaN Evangelism Alliance: • Conducted 5,053 Evangelistic Outreaches (An average of 13.8 per day) • Documented 2,271,178 Salvations

• With a total of 4,781,768 people in attendance and hearing the Gospel Praise the Lord for what He has done, and we look forward to 2022 with even greater expectations and faith for the multiplication and collaboration to continue as the laborers are sent, and the harvest is reaped.” Discover the incredible harvest of souls we witnessed in 2021, and the multiplication of evangelists through collaborating with our Bootcamp Graduates. The Decade of Double Harvest, to see 150 million souls saved by 2030, is well underway! We pray your faith is built up and you are blessed as you read Harvest Highlights from the year and all that we accomplished for God’s kingdom, together with you! Thank you for faithfully sowing into the preaching of the Gospel!

BOOTCAMP INITIATION April 19 - May 9

IN JUST THREE WEEKS, THERE WERE 316,458 DOCUMENTED DECISIONS FOR CHRIST! Christ for all Nations witnessed a massive harvest for Jesus when 94 Bootcamp students and 19 Evangelism Trainers hit the ground on April 19 – May 9 in Tanzania! The group dispersed among five cities for three weeks of preaching the Gospel and ministering to the

sick. In just three weeks, 316,458 decisions for Jesus were made! Hallelujah! Evangelist Jared Horton, one of the Evangelism Trainers on the ground in Tanzania during Initiation and Bootcamp instructors, shared the following: “…these evangelists set each city ablaze with the Gospel of Jesus Christ with Kids Crusades, Gospel truck outreaches and one-toone Evangelism! Signs, wonders and miracles began to break out everywhere as these evangelists

ministered! Numerous blind eyes and deaf ears opened in the name of Jesus. We are truly seeing the multiplication of evangelists happen right before our eyes. Just to give you an example of this, 13 of the 19 Evangelism Trainers were 2020 Bootcamp Graduates. These graduates are already training other evangelists for this massive Decade of Double Harvest! The future is bright! The harvest is plentiful and the laborers are being multiplied and equipped!”

WEEK 3 TESTIMONY: MBEYA “The Lord did amazing miracles today as we shared the Gospel. We saw a woman with abdominal pain healed and baptized in the Holy Spirit. This lady had pain in her abdomen and had total blindness. We prayed and Jesus healed her abdominal problems and she began to recover her sight! While we were there, she started to see light! Her husband was so excited as he witnessed her vision coming back.” – Evangelist Gabriel Garcia, CfaN Bootcamp Graduate. 7


OPERATION DECAPOLIS June 9 - 13

Over the course of five days, Evangelist Daniel Kolenda took 12 flights, spent 44 hours and 8-minutes in flight, 113 hours and 8-minutes traveling (in-flight, layovers, driving) and stayed in 7 hotels. In addition: • • • • • • • • • • •

THERE WERE 60,752 DOCUMENTED DECISIONS FOR CHRIST! The crusades in each city ran for five nights each. In each city, two evangelists preached two nights each. Many of these preachers were graduates of our Evangelism Bootcamp! Evangelist Daniel Kolenda would preach one night in each city and then move to the next, where the crusade was ongoing. The guest evangelists included: Daniel King, Jared Horton, Paul Maurer, Gary Smith, Michael Job, David Rotärmel, Roselyne Ayeola, Evelina Smane, Joe Turnbull, and Daniel Garcia. Prior to each crusade, Bootcamp Interns were stationed in each city 6 weeks prior, helping to organize the crusade. Evangelist Daniel Kolenda and Peter Vandenberg officially graduated these interns from Bootcamp with their diplomas and Bootcamp rings on the CfaN Crusade platform! Also, those same Interns/Graduates assisted in praying for the sick and interviewing the testimonies each night. They ministered with great power and anointing.

BUKOBA TANZANIA

[BOOTCAMP GRADUATE CRUSADE]

July 29 - August 1 THERE WERE 11,301 DOCUMENTED DECISIONS FOR CHRIST! The city of Bukoba, Tanzania was shaken by a Christ for all Nations Gospel Crusade in collaboration with Bootcamp Graduate Evangelists Denis Artyushevskiy, David Rotärmel, Lilliana Alvarado and Isabela Borges. This was a ground-breaking moment for CfaN. For the first time in the history of the ministry, the CfaN technical and media teams were on the ground working with CfaN Bootcamp Graduates – without Evangelist Daniel Kolenda there to preach the Gospel. The vision to hold this crusade was birthed in the hearts of Denis Artyushevskiy and David Rotärmel, both Evangelism Bootcamp Graduates.

14


WE ARE TRULY SEEING THE FIRST FRUITS OF MULTIPLICATION AND COLLABORATION THAT ARE SUCH A VITAL PART OF THE DECADE OF DOUBLE HARVEST. With much prayer and scouting research, the decision was made to host the campaign in Bukoba. Nearly six weeks of preparation – marked by numerous challenges and last minute changes – led to a phenomenal Gospel Crusade that saw 25,000 people in attendance over the four nights and 11,301 salvations for Jesus! 15


BUJUMBURA BURUNDI

[BOOTCAMP GRADUATE CRUSADE]

August 25 - 29 TOTAL ATTENDANCE WAS 278,000. “In 2018 the U.N. reported that Burundi was ‘the least happy place on earth,’ but that reality came crashing down on the crusade field as the joy of the Lord filled the crowd of 78,000 and they erupted into worship”, noted Evangelist Michael Seth Clifton, a CfaN Bootcamp graduate who recently preached in Burundi! We

16

want to share with you the powerful report from another crusade organized by Bootcamp Graduates that took place on August 2529 in Bujumbura, Burundi. “True multiplication took place as CfaN Bootcamp Graduates and Decapolis veteran crusade directors Jacob Ebersole, Jim Weitner, and Michael Seth Clifton took the expertise they gained in Bootcamp and Decapolis into the field, holding a massive Gospel Crusade in Bujumbura, Burundi. They were lovingly referred

to as “Bonnke’s grandchildren,” by Burundian bishops and pastors as they prepared the Gospel Crusade from May to August... The aftershocks are spreading through Burundi even now with testimonies of a new unity in the church pouring in and a revival of evangelism catching fire in the nation... Every major television and radio station was present to capture the baptism of the Holy Spirit on the final night of the crusade... Total attendance for the 5-day crusade was 278,000 and 25,237 Burundians registered decisions for Christ.” – Evangelist Michael Seth Clifton, CfaN Bootcamp Graduate. Hallelujah! The team of CfaN Bootcamp Graduates included: Evangelists Jim Weitner, Gabriel Garcia, Felicia Brown, Jonathan Sanchez, Ian McClure and Tabitha Glasscock.

EAST AFRICA CRUSADE INITIATIVE [BOOTCAMP GRADUATE CRUSADE]

THERE WERE 11,301 DOCUMENTED DECISIONS FOR CHRIST!

This summer, CfaN Bootcamp Graduate and Evangelist Carl Butler collaborated with Evangelist Michael Job and the following CfaN Bootcamp Graduates, including evangelists Angelin Kouadio, Roman Nechay, Julian Reddihough, NiaCerise Conteh, Joe Franklin, Isabela Borges, Ryan Fishburn, Darryl Ingram Jr, Matias Piti Toivainen, Erik Levoyer, Nico Ferreyra, and Troy Anderson. Here is a summary Evangelist Carl Butler provided about the incredible harvest they witnessed in the following Tanzanian cities: Gairo, Mpwapwa, Ifakara, Mangula and Kilosa. “It is such an honor to lead the East African Crusaders initiative in association with CfaN. Over the last 10 weeks I have worked with

5 teams of powerful Bootcamp Graduate Evangelists, along with the help of a great Tanzanian support crew of 7 people and a couple of internationals. Together, we have conducted 145 outreaches, five Fire Conferences (three days each), and five Gospel Crusades (each five days long). In total, we have seen 75,436 precious souls pray with us to receive Jesus. So many people have been healed, filled with the Holy Spirit, and set on fire for God. Thank you Evangelist Daniel Kolenda for raising a mighty army of soul winners. It is a privilege to play a small part in seeing the fulfillment of your inspiring vision for the Decade of Double Harvest.” - Evangelist Carl Butler, CfaN Bootcamp Graduate.

OPERATION DECAPOLIS October 6-10

THERE WERE 210,553 DOCUMENTED DECISIONS FOR CHRIST! Once again, a new high-water mark has been made! In October we concluded Operation Decapolis - six crusades in six areas lasting five nights each (thirty nights of crusades) - all in one week! In addition, we conducted two weeks of “Gospel Invasion” leading up to the crusades, where about 20 CfaN Bootcamp graduates conducted hundreds of outreaches in the area. In all, we documented 210,553 decisions for Christ in Dar es Salaam! Hallelujah! But the number of campaigns is not the only thing that was different about this Decapolis. This time, all six campaigns were held in one city, and there were very good reasons for this.

22


23


In the Decade of Double Harvest, a major part of our strategy is flexibility. We have to look at the circumstances of each region or city individually and use the tools at our disposal to reach as many people as possible. The last time CfaN was in Dar es Salaam, in 2013, the population was just over 4 million. Now it’s nearly 7 million, and experts predict it will hit 13 million by 2035. With the city infrastructure stretched to the limit, it can easily take over two hours to drive just over 6 miles. That’s a massive obstacle to a non-believer thinking of coming to the campaign. If we were to host one mass event as we have done in the past, only those who live in the vicinity would be able to come. As we studied the problem, we felt the Holy Spirit telling us to instead hold multiple campaigns in different areas of the city, so that hearing the Gospel is within reach of everyone. No matter where in the city someone lived, they were within half an hour from a campaign.

24

26


Similar to the June Decapolis, evangelists were paired together for the five-day crusade in the following SIX districts of Dar es Salaam: Kimara Evangelists Evelina Smane and Denis Artyushevskiy Gongo La Mboto Evangelists Daniel Garcia and Lukas Repert Jangwani Evangelists Jim and Kathy Leamon and Jacob Ebersole Kigamboni Evangelists Randy Roberts and Joe Turnbull Mbagala Evangelists Robert Enge and Dr. Roselyne Ayeola Kawe Evangelist Levi Lutz (Director of the CfaN Bootcamp) and Macoby Donaldson (Director of the CfaN Evangelism Alliance) In each of the six campaigns, amazing things happened: blind eyes and deaf ears opened, people rose off stretchers in front of the huge crowds, the lame threw their crutches away, and most importantly, we counted thousands upon thousands of documented decisions for Christ.

27


BOOTCAMP UPDATE “OVER 200 EVANGELISTS HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFULLY RAISED UP.” “We are living in the greatest harvest of souls in human history! I believe that in this season we can choose excuses or we can choose harvest, but we can’t have both. These CfaN Bootcamp Evangelists have clearly chosen harvest! The Fall 2021 CfaN Evangelism Bootcamp has just

28

reached completion. Evangelist Kolenda and myself (along with our wonderful team of seasoned instructors) have just successfully trained, equipped, and deployed yet another wave of elite crusade evangelists! Not only did these evangelists have the opportunity to be on the ground, preaching the Gospel in Ibadan, Nigeria in support of our historic flagship crusade, but they also won many to the Lord before even leaving Orlando. The final numbers are not yet in, but we can safely say this has exceeded even our greatest expectations! These amazing men and women have


come from all over the world to be trained here at our headquarters in Orlando, Florida. This makes the third Bootcamp that has been completed, and over 200 evangelists that have been successfully raised up. Each class of evangelists we train seems to grow hungrier and hungrier. The urgency to preach the Gospel to the lost seems to constantly intensify. This leads me to believe one thing. Despite all the amazing miracles, and multitudes of salvations we have seen already through these Bootcamp Evangelists, the best is still yet to come!” - Evangelist Levi Lutz, USA Bootcamp Director.

BOOTCAMP INITIATION

October 25 - November 10 THERE WERE 239,903 DOCUMENTED DECISIONS FOR CHRIST! While the Crusade Teams labored behind the scenes in the final month before the Ibadan Gospel Crusade, the spiritual work – bringing people to Jesus – had already begun. During that month, the most recent group of CfaN Evangelism Bootcamp students hit the ground running in Ibadan for their Bootcamp Initiation. That’s when they put into practice all they’ve been learning during Bootcamp. In three weeks, they conducted over 1,800 outreaches through CfaN Gospel Truck outreaches, Kids’ Crusades, and in the marketplace.

30

They witnessed an astounding 239,903 salvations — before the Crusade even began! Isn’t that glorious? And the miracles of healing and deliverance that happened every single day of Initiation were like a holy wildfire in the streets, spreading the news by word-ofmouth everywhere the Bootcamp evangelists went. Shortly after the Ibadan Crusade, with their Initiation behind them, these students graduated and were launched into evangelistic ministry. These are the days of harvest!


31


CFAN FLAGSHIP GOSPEL CRUSADE — IBADAN, NIGERIA November 11-14

THERE WERE 725,792 DOCUMENTED DECISIONS FOR CHRIST!

During the four-day Flagship Gospel Crusade, Evangelist Daniel Kolenda gave clear, impassioned Gospel presentations to the massive crowds. It was marked by the in-filling of the Holy Spirit, physical healings, freedom from addiction, deliverance from demonic oppression, and a myriad of other miraculous encounters with God. The incredibly vast crowd included many prominent Church and government leaders, including the Governor of Oyo State and his wife. In addition to local worship teams, Nations Church Worship Director Eddie James led powerful and memorable times of worship.

32

More than 1.2 million people attended the November 2021 Christ for All Nation’s (CfaN) Gospel Crusade in Ibadan, Nigeria. CfaN history was made in Ibadan on Day Three. This was the grand finale of our Fire Conference there. Fire Conferences are events for registered delegates only – primarily pastors, bishops, and church leadership. That morning over 150,000 delegates attended, making it the largest Fire Conference in history! (continued)


33


34


Peter Vandenberg (CfaN VicePresident), John Darku (West Africa Campaign Director), Levi Lutz (CfaN Bootcamp Director), and Daniel Kolenda were the preachers, but the ministry team consisted of more than 100 CfaN Bootcamp students, graduates and coaches. In the final session, they all went through the massive crowd, each one laying hands on hundreds or even thousands of delegates. It was epic and life-changing – an impartation of Holy Spirit power for service to Jesus. One notable miracle happened to a military man who had been in a motorcycle accident thirty years ago. As a result, his skull had caved

in (the scars of which are still clearly visible), and a metal rod had been put in his leg, making it difficult to walk. A few days ago, he had fallen in a ditch and was badly injured. But Jesus supernaturally completely healed him at the crusade. He said he couldn’t feel the rod in his leg anymore. He was pain-free and had perfect use of his legs. He even started jumping up and down on the platform. This tough man wept for joy as he thanked God for his healing. Thank you so much for sending and supporting us through your prayers and giving. A tremendous impact has been made here for the Kingdom of God, and hundreds of thousands of lives have been eternally changed.

35


THANK YOU Thank you for helping make this possible! The only way our teams were able to conduct two, Operation Decapolis events this year (conducting five crusades simultaneously in June and then six crusades simultaneously in October) is due to us actively multiplying the laborers through the CfaN Evangelism Bootcamp, and because of our faithful partners, like you, who pray for us and sow into the ministry! We rejoice in the hundreds of thousands of salvations and miraculous testimonies, but this is not the time to sit back; we are going faster than ever, pushing harder, to see God do even greater things in 2022 (and in the years to come).

36


Be sure to visit CfaN.org/2021 today! Your gifts continue to make an eternal difference!
