Operation Decapolis – Zambia
From Darkness to Light
Evangelists Alejandro Escobar and Joe Turnbull preached nightly in George District, a compound of the capital city, Lusaka. This is an area well-known for criminality and desperate poverty.
Alejandro Escobar shared with us:
When we walked into the compound of George, the atmosphere felt heavy. On the first day, it was very difficult to get the people to even dance or respond. Evangelist Joe and I had to push, preach and plough the ground for the first two days. This field was known for the strongholds of drugs and witchcraft, but the Gospel has a way of drawing all men and piercing the hearts of sinners.
After two days of ploughing, something powerful occurred. On the third night, as we preached about the Blood of Jesus, and the power it has to break chains, heal bodies, and save the lost, thousands called upon the name of Jesus. But not only that – hundreds of people brought their idols, witchcraft, juju, drugs and so on to be burned in the barrels in front of the crowd.
We burned the idols and prayed to break the curses over the land, and in that moment something glorious happened. Suddenly the peace of God descended upon that field. For the first time that week, the people erupted into praise and dance, singing “There is power in the name of JESUS!” True freedom and joy filled the atmosphere.
That night was a genuine breakthrough and the days that followed were glorious. The Holy Spirit kept pouring out blessings. Miracles spontaneously erupted all over the field. Crutches and wheelchairs were left behind. Blind eyes were opened and tumors were healed! The light of the Kingdom of God shone in the darkness, and the darkness could not overcome it. Jesus is King over George!
TESTIMONIES
James knew he couldn’t live like that anymore, so he brought three full bags of juju, amulets, fetishes and other items he used for witchcraft, and burned it in front of all the people. The Gospel Campaign director, Isaac Nasaari, sent me an update about this ex-witchdoctor. He is now part of a local church in George where he is being discipled and he is preaching to all his past customers who call him for witchdoctor services, leading them to Christ. This is the true power of the precious blood of Jesus! From darkness to light!
Together with you for the Gospel,
Evangelist Daniel Kolenda
