Dear Ministry Partners,

I just returned from the second night of our four-night Gospel Crusade here in South Asia and we had an amazing response.  Tonight the crowd tripled in attendance from last night as thousands came out to hear the Gospel and receive prayer and hundreds of people came forward to receive salvation!  Praise God!  We don’t have an exact count on how many received Christ yet, but once the crusade is over, we will be able to send out an accurate count.

Due to safety concerns, I’m not able to disclose the exact location of this crusade for fear that radicals might find out the location and try to stop the crusade.  We’re very safe here, but please do keep us in your prayers for cooperation with local officials.

This morning was the first morning of the pastor’s conference where we trained the local pastors and ministry leaders from the surrounding area.  About 130 pastors and leaders attended the conference today.  I always try to do a pastors conference when I’m in this part of the world because these pastors have almost no formal Bible training whatsoever.  Many of them were from a different religion before they were saved and became pastors shortly after due to their zeal and desire for the Lord.  It’s always a pleasure to speak into their lives.

Thank you for continuing to pray for us and for sending us here to preach the Gospel.  We’re confident tomorrow night will be even better.  Please continue to pray for our safety, good weather and that thousands would be saved here this week.

I’ll be sending out a report for each crusade this week, so stay tuned for more information.

Together in the harvest,
Evangelist Chris Mikkelson
