Crusade in Africa: June 26-June 29, 2008
A section of the crowd numbering 10,000 
A small teaching on the sidelines
If a good preacher wants large crowds, India is usually a safe bet. But even so, India is nothing compared to Africa where people throng by the thousands to a religious event. There were about 10,000 to this one in Dar Es Salam! Though the event took place for an entire fortnight, I could be there only for five days due to prior commitments, but they were five days to remember.
An African crowd stirred up is a crowd to behold, but what I will never forget is the deliverance that took place after the talks were over. As we prayed over the people, many would be thrown to the ground and roll, frothing at the mouth, while stretcher bearers would quickly come and take them away. The entire thing was organized on a war footing, but then I realized that this was war!
And, as always, in Tanzania the organizers always make sure that I am kept busy, so I'd take up a small class in the morning, preach at the crusade in the afternoon, and go and give a few more talks in the evenings. All in a day's work! :) By the end of it I had lost my voice completely, but I had finished by then so I didn't really care!
