Global Evangelist Alliance

I recently had the opportunity to take part in the GLOBAL EVANGELISTIC ALLIANCE committee meetings in Bogotá Colombia and it is truly amazing to witness first-hand what the Holy Spirit is doing in the realm of global evangelism. Under the leadership of evangelist Daniel Kolenda, the GEA executive committee is comprised of more than thirty internationally recognized, Spirit-filled, evangelists like Todd White, Ben Fitzgerald, Andy Byrd, and many others. When Dr. Billy Wilson asked Evangelist Kolenda to spearhead the GEA as the evangelistic arm of the global Empowered 21 movement, the CfaN president was not interested in simply a prestigious position of influence but was adamant about creating a platform for collaborative evangelism with real soul-winning outcomes. The purpose of the alliance is to unify global evangelism efforts such as Gospel crusades, evangelism training, ministry networks, and strategic events that mighty men and women of God are already doing. Rather than sitting around a boardroom table discussing the various theories on world evangelism, the GEA is committed to actually winning the world for Jesus.

The GLOBAL EVANGELISTIC ALLIANCE is creating a Kingdom-expanding impact as we have never seen.

One of the goals discussed at the Bogotá meeting was appointing national, regional, district, and city evangelism representatives that will cover the globe. In fact, within the next three years, the GEA plans to have a technological structure in place that will allow evangelists from every nation to collaborate with each other for outreaches and campaigns of all shapes and sizes within this international framework. This will open up a whole world of opportunities, not just to leaders of big ministries, but to every kind of follower of Jesus who burns with a passion to win the lost.

Raising up the next generation of soul-winners was also a vital component of the meeting. Each evangelist was encouraged to submit their top evangelism insights for the purpose of creating a streamlined evangelism curriculum that will be compiled and edited for use at the first GEA school of evangelism next spring. The aim is to have one or two aspiring evangelists from every nation attend this school and receive training in order to take not only a burning fire for souls but also international best practices for evangelism back to their countries. Combining this with exciting new technology and the growing international network of Holy Spirit soul-winners that are coming together, the GLOBAL EVANGELISTIC ALLIANCE is creating a Kingdom-expanding impact as we have never seen.
