GEORGIA was a powerful breakthrough! This is one of the greatest and most important evangelistic missions of my life!
What has happened in Georgia is one of the biggest spiritual breakthroughs we have ever seen, where, like Ukraine, a divided nation has decided to come together as one, just as Jesus prayed we would: “Father, may they be one as We are One.”
Our 3-day event, 16-18 November, was held in the modern Olympic Palace in Tbilisi. It was successfully filled by the united efforts of members of all the different Christian denominations that exist and work in the Republic of Georgia; pastors, leaders and people united in the love of Christ. This co-operation created a tremendous public witness to the love of God and an atmosphere of unity and harmony – the Body of Christ – united in action.
Mr Zaza Vashakkmadze, Head of the State Department of Religious Affairs, opened the 3-day event with these words, “We could never imagine that we all could be friends. Even 6 years ago this couldn’t happen, but look at us now: we are friends, love each other and together serve our nation, Georgia. Mr David is my friend!”
The three days of meetings began with a drum and dance show for the youth, testimonies from world famous Christian basketball players from America, and from Miss Ukraine 2007, Lika Roman, followed by a 100-strong choir leading us in worship into the very presence of God each night.
The dynamic Gospel message was based on my life’s experiences with Christ. It seemed no one could keep their seat when so many hundreds each night prayed the sinners’ prayer and then I led them in prayer for healing.
Although, because of the layout of the arena, it was impossible to call the people forward from the stands onto the floor to give their healing testimonies publicly, stories were quickly relayed to us of those who were healed or had accepted Jesus as their Saviour. People were healed in the hall and on their way home, whilst others were healed watching and listening through mobile phones in the hall or live on Facebook.
On the last night, hundreds of young people stayed behind talking, unable to tear themselves away from the arena which, for three days, had been filled with such an atmosphere from Heaven!
On the Sunday I spoke in one of the largest churches. Bishop Oleg said, “Everything we saw in these 3 days was only the tip of the iceberg, but what went on underneath was massive, and in the days to come we shall see the fruit of it. It was something we never thought could be possible – an interconfessional, inter-generational teamwork. But it was the Lord’s Work, we have done nothing!”
Thank you for praying. Thank you for supporting this ministry,
David
