Africa, South America and Asia
Gospel Campaigns on Three Continents
Over the past few years, I know I’ve told you, “This is a first for CfaN” many times. The pace of change and expansion continues to pick up. We’ve had so many firsts as we implement the strategies the Lord has given us to multiply and collaborate for the harvest. Remember the first time we held multiple Gospel campaigns in the same region in the same week in 2020? How about the first time we took Evangelism Bootcamp students to Africa? Or last year, the first time we held a CfaN Gospel Campaign in Thailand?
Well, today I have another big “first for CfaN” to celebrate with you! Over the next few weeks, CfaN will conduct mass Gospel Campaigns on three continents: Africa, South America and South-East Asia.
This has never happened before. It’s not something we set out to do, as such. It is a matter of being ready and willing to walk through doors that are opening, seizing the opportunities that God gives while those opportunities are wide open.
Come take a trip around the world with me today!
Calabar, Nigeria // 11 – 15 November 2026
AFRICA
I’m starting with this one, which is actually the last campaign for the year, because Africa is front and foremost for us at CfaN. “Africa shall be saved” is the beating heart of this ministry – and I can’t wait to be back in Nigeria for this Gospel Campaign!
Calabar has seen a lot of change this century, going from rural town to urbanized. It is packed with people. Since we were last there in 2018 (seeing over 200,000 decisions for Jesus), the population has grown by 39.5%!
Our Campaign Director for Africa, Rev. John Darku, says:
“The Pastors’ Meetings have seen enthusiastic participation and there’s big anticipation building. We've also identified a venue. There’s work to be done – we must temporarily dismantle a big boundary fence to make enough space for the crowds we’re expecting.
On the spiritual mobilization front, we've raised prayer centers in 30 locations across the city, interceding for the campaign. Alongside that, counseling training is running for ten weeks across the whole state, with a target of raising 100,000 counselors to minister to those who respond to the gospel. We're training over 10,000 ushers to help coordinate the crowds each night!
We're encouraged that the Governor and Deputy Governor of Cross River State are both members of participating churches, and the Commissioner of Police, along with the entire state security apparatus, stands fully behind us.”
Valencia, Venezuela // 30 – 31 October 2016
SOUTH AMERICA
Venezuela is so very ready for a move of God! In the aftermath of the twin earthquakes in June, we kept hearing the same thing from all the pastors: Venezuela needs the Gospel now more than ever.
With this call ringing in our ears, campaign preparations picked right back up after the earthquakes. In this nation that has suffered so much, the hunger for God is like nothing we’ve seen before. Ministering in churches, the team is seeing miracle after miracle.
Operations Director Jana Bielava shared:
“From the very first Sunday, things went beyond anything we expected. We preached at a church, and they brought in a beggar off the street who was blind. Right in the middle of the sermon, he stood up and started screaming that he could see. The church had collected money for him to get surgery, but he turned around and said he didn't need it anymore. God had healed him right there.
And it wasn't just that one healing. We saw tumors disappear with our own eyes – wild miracles, over and over, right in front of us.
But what struck me most was the leaders. Pastors of huge churches with thousands of members are all completely united. They have made this their top priority. We are convinced that God is doing something unique that will shake this nation forever.”
Mae Sot, Thailand // 30 October – 1 November 2026
SOUTH-EAST ASIA
In Thailand, Campaign Director Brady Liette is preparing for a CfaN campaign right on the Thailand/Myanmar border. In his words:
“Mae Sot is such a unique place because of its location. There is a huge Burmese population living on the Thai side of the border, along with Karen (tribal) and other ethnic communities. This campaign has become much more than simply a Thai campaign.
We are working with Thai, Burmese and Karen churches together, and that has been one of the most exciting parts of the preparation. The campaign will also intentionally minister across the different communities. Friday will have a stronger Thai emphasis, while Saturday and Sunday will have a major Burmese focus.
Earlier this month we held a pastors’ meeting and more than 500 pastors and leaders attended! There is tremendous interest from the Burmese churches, especially because of the opportunity to reach people who have been displaced or affected by events in Myanmar.
There’s a bigger vision in motion, way beyond this campaign. We are holding two evangelism training camps, one in Thai and one in Burmese. We want to reach people, train believers, send evangelists and multiply the Gospel beyond the border.”
Are you with us?
We need your prayers and help to get this all done! I am asking you today to build up treasure in heaven with us, where moth and rust cannot destroy. Will you help us meet the urgent call in each of these nations to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ? These last weeks of preparation are financially critical. So, thank you with all my heart, if you are able to give for these campaigns today.
Together with you for the Gospel,
Evangelist Daniel Kolenda
(and the CfaN team worldwide)
Thank you with all my heart, if you are able to give for these campaigns today.
