OPEN AIR GOSPEL CRUSADES/ OUTREACHES
The Almighty God opened for us the door to minister in open door gospel crusades. The gospel is still not widely preached and many souls are still hungry for the God. The gospel is power and it comes to heal, change and transform. We held two open air gospel crusades and many souls came to Christ. The souls that came to Christ are in church and are being discipled.
