Evangelism Crusade in Świnoujście


My second road trip with Mission Music took me to the port city of Świnoujście. The 3 churches there organize every summer a Christian Culture Week that lasts 10 days. We were there for three days. The city gave for free the use of the concert shell on the main boardwalk. About 250 people were seated for the concert, and another 100 in the café’s surrounding area listened every evening to the gospel. On the grounds were also set up 3 tents, one of them seating about 200 people. One evening I called people forward that had various sicknesses for prayer. One women was crying from the pain she had in her back and shoulder. She was healed instantly and to prove it stretched and repeatedly touched here toes. Her tears of pain turned to tears of joy! A few other people were touched as God did a work in their life.

The day before we left Pastor Gabriel called at 11:30 pm and asked if I can go with him to a brother who is very sick and in pain. It turns out that for many years he suffers from back injuries. He just returned from the hospital the day before and was scheduled the following week for another operation. He could barely walk or move. The power of God was present. As we prayed sweat rolled down his forehead and I knew God was healing him. He turned to the left and right, bent over backwards and then forwards with very little pain. I felt that God would heal him more as he steps out in faith and ministers to others. His wife then asked for prayer for two very large growths on her side about 4 inches long and protruding about 1 inch.

Later after talking with pastor Gabriel he reported that the tumors are reducing in size, and that the brother instead of going for an operation got in his car and traveled to a few nearby cites to testify to others and encouraged them to evangelize their towns! Praise God!
