What happens `noW that they`re saved`?

What Happens ‘Now that They’re Saved’?
the message of salvation clearly and powerfully. Tens of
thousand each evening gave their lives to Jesus Christ
and kept the many personal workers very busy with the
start of the follow-up activities, which by the end of the
week had became an avalanche of salvation. The total
of returned decision cards for the week’s meetings
was a stunning 713,590, all of which will be funneled
into the local churches as the follow up program moves
into top gear.
After every Gospel Crusade, Christ for all Nations must pack all the equipment and head
to the next town and evangelistic outreach…but ensuring that the new converts will be
discipled after CfaN leaves is essential. That’s why CfaN always works with the local
churches to form a follow-up network.
The vital link in this process is a small booklet entitled “Now that You are Saved.”
Each person that makes a salvation commitment receives their own personal copy that
explains their decision and instructs them on “what to do next” in their new walk with the
Lord. In addition to instructing the new Christian, the booklet contains a two-part decision
card – one copy stays with the new believer and one copy goes to the local church so
they can follow-up.
The Power of the Gospel
After the prayer for salvation, each evening, a prayer for
healing was made and once again people pushed toward
the platform area to testify of God’s healing grace as the
great crowd rejoiced and celebrated with each one.
Into the Highways and Byways
Getting to the town of Otukpo in Nigeria requires a flight inland from the capital city
of Abuja and then a two-hour drive. Whilst it is on a main artery between far apart
centers, the town itself is not a major destination for any but local travelers.
This month, the CfaN team together with Reinhard Bonnke and Daniel Kolenda traveled
to Otukpo to hold a Gospel Crusade. As the team entered the town by road, it was
very obvious that the people had been waiting in great anticipation for their arrival.
Crowds lined the road and cheered a welcome, declaring that the favor of the Lord
was now upon the town.
Jesus Shines
Even though it is the rainy season at this time of year,
the team had set up the huge open-air equipment on
the chosen field and despite wet and muddy conditions,
were ready in time for the event to begin. Much prayer
was offered up with regard to the weather and as a result,
not one of the eleven open air meetings was disturbed
by rain all week. Instead, the people of the town and
whole surrounding area flocked daily to the crusade
ground and huge crowds, the size of which had never
been seen before in the area, packed the field to hear
the Word of God. Each morning, as early as 6 AM, the
twenty thousand Fire Conference delegates were in place
at the venue, eager to receive from the Lord. They were
not disappointed as every message built upon the next,
reaching a mighty Holy Spirit climax in the final meeting
as Daniel Kolenda ministered.
Nightly at the crusade, the crowds pushed onto the open
field and rejoiced as Reinhard Bonnke on the first night
and Daniel Kolenda on the subsequent nights, preached
Evangelist Daniel Kolenda commented on a healing
that, “One lady who was healed from diabetes yesterday
brought her report from the doctor confirming her
testimony. Then she told me, ‘I am a Muslim.’ When I
asked if she knew who had healed her she shouted,
‘JESUS’ and then she told the crowd, she would follow
Jesus the rest of her life. (See photo below.) We see in these
meetings how salvation, healing, deliverance and Holy
Spirit Fire all converge under one heading…The Gospel
of Jesus Christ. They are all a part of the same glorious
gift that God offers to ‘whosoever will.’”
(Above) Blind in both eyes for five years, this lady suddenly received perfect sight.
She was so overjoyed she began to dance on the platform to the great delight of the crowd.
On the third night of the crusade, Daniel Kolenda
reported this amazing healing, “One young man who
was suffering with HIV AIDS for the last 4 years, told
me the incredible story of his healing. He had come to
the Fire Conference this morning and after Rev. Peter
van den Berg preached, he felt faith rise in his heart.
Without a single hand being laid on him he received
his healing by faith and went to the doctor for ablood
test. He brought the report to me tonight…HIV
NEGATIVE!” (See front cover photo inset.)
During the Saturday night meeting, Daniel Kolenda gave
a short Gospel message and call to salvation then talked
about the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. After this
message, the huge crowd stood with their hands raised
to heaven and as the Evangelist prayed, the fire of God
fell on multitudes. The crowd roared their praises to
heaven in new tongues for over thirty minutes and as this
was taking place, suddenly a great sweep in healing was
felt across the people and healings starting happening
all over the field. Hundreds then pushed forward to tell
what God had done for them and the crowd, reluctant to
leave, rejoiced with each one.
Given that the month of August is the very heart of the
rainy season in Nigeria, this had indeed been an ‘out of
season harvest’ for kingdom of God.
Report by Peter van den Berg
(Left) A lady who formerly suffered from diabetes shows the document from
the doctor confirming her healing.
For over thirty-five years, we’ve seen how God has blessed this partnership between
CfaN and the local churches. Countless times we’ve heard reports of churches doubling
and tripling over night following the crusades. The new converts are being connected
with churches to grow and solidify their foundation in Christ. This process is one of the
most important aspects of every crusade …that’s why nearly 50% of our campaign
budget is dedicated to the Now that You are Saved booklets.
It costs US$0.20 per booklet. . .which includes the paper, printing, global container
shipping, and local distribution of these materials.
Right now, we are trusting the Lord for the finances to pay for an additional 4 million Now
that You are Saved booklets that we’ve had to order because of a greater than expected
harvest season. Praise God!
Help connect new believers with a church for discipleship.
Your US$25.00 gift will provide 100 new Christians their own Now that You are Saved booklet.
Your US$50.00 gift will provide 200 new Christians their own Now that You are Saved booklet.
Your US$100.00 gift will provide 400 new Christians their own Now that You are Saved booklet.
Did you know? There are over 86,000,000 copies of
Now that You are Saved now in print in 55 languages.

Full Gospel
The Gospel is the power of God unto salvation, and that
power invaded the Otukpo Crusade field night after night! The sick
were healed, the lost were saved, demons were cast out. This is
the Gospel as Jesus preached it:
And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel
of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among
the people. Matthew 4:23 (NKJV)
Miracles Testify to Truth
After the Gospel message and salvation altar call every
night, hundreds lined up to share their healing testimonies with
the exuberant crowd. One man, blind in both eyes for eighty years,
received his long-awaited healing. A 13-year-old girl, a hunchback
from birth, was suddenly straightened and healed. These miracles and
many more testify to the authenticity of the Gospel that we preach
and the goodness of the God that we serve.
Rainy Season Harvest
This crusade was our “out of season crusade,” because it took
place in the rainy season in West Africa, but the Lord held back the
rain and gave us a full harvest. A total of 713,590 people responded
to the Gospel, received Jesus as their Savior, and completed a
Decision Card. All praise be to God!
Thank you to everyone who prayed, and gave to make this
crusade possible. It was worth the effort and YOU share in this
great Harvest!
Yours in His Love and Service,
