Missions
City of Aba Nigeria!!
March 3 – March 17th 2024
A First!!!
I preached on different nights on 3 simultaneous Aftermath Crusades in the City of Aba, Abia State, Southern Nigeria!!
• 14,692 Aftermath Crusade decisions for Jesus
• 265,001 Schools & Street Invasion decisions
• 128,811 Flagship Crusade decisions!
MISSION GRAND TOTAL 408,504 Decisions!!
I was privileged to take part in all three of the very first CfaN ‘Aftermath’ Crusades to be held in one city simultaneously in Africa, in three different locations by the same team of Evangelists.
This was part of a large group of CfaN evangelists who were involved in schools, street and flagship crusades.
After the conclusion of the four large crusades in Aba, Nigeria, a small team of Bootcamp graduates – myself, Dario Giustino, Michael Job, Trudy Makepeace, and Dieter Wagner remained, and conducted three aftermath crusades
Here is a record of what happened:
Crusade 1 The Aftermath Crusade at BTC,
Aba City Centre Boys Technical College
We chose a field in the centre of Aba because we believed many people there had not attended the previous crusade.
I appeared at this crusade on several of the nights to do preaching and praying for the sick.
The first night with 3,000 people in attendance and saw over 50% of the Crowd getting saved! The Crusade quickly became a hot topic in its region. We saw God move every single night, powerfully convicting people’s hearts of their sins. Mighty miracles, signs, and wonders underlined the Gospel message every night!
We saw people getting healed:
• A man called Madagar He has had his knee out of his socket for months. As we prayed for the sick, his knee instantly snapped back, like a magnet back in its place! We ran circles on stage together.
• Another lady had blurry sight after 20 years and was unable to read – now was able to read our Now That You Are Saved follow up book on the stage.
• Another young man named Innocent, came with five years of terrible asthma and severe heart problems giving him pain. During the prayer these disappeared.
The miracles attracted people from very far away to attend the Crusade.
We had an attendance of approximately 5000 people on Sunday.
Sunday was an extraordinary night. Heavy rain poured just like it was the last time with Evg. Reinhard Bonnke when he preached. It became so intense that we got concerned that the crowd would leave…but the people did not! After the blessing at this crusade, the joy of Salvation broke out all over the field. The Crowd cut the tapes apart and ran forward in hundreds! Praising & thanking Jesus while jumping for Joy! This eruption of joy continued for about 10 minutes!! The structure of the Field forced us to drive through it to exit. As we drove out, the remaining people ran through the entire field towards our car, waving & shouting at us! Some knocked at our doors. Mamas were holding their babies & children to us for blessing. The people truly loved us & we love them.
Impact:
We are receiving daily reports from the local Chairmans & Pastors on how things are going in BTC Aba. We heard how these were the most significant and biggest Crusades they ever had there, and new converts are attending the Churches. We were with the local pastors, overseeing and supporting the follow-up process for the next two months in terms of quality and also providing financial support.
Finally, we thank and the famed Rev. John Darku, who was Reinhard Bonnke’s African Crusade Director for 40 years who gave assistance and advice for these crusades and for making these Aftermath Crusades possible, changing the lives of thousands.

Crusade 2 Umuogele
Umuogele is one of the poorest places in Aba. Some of the people there have no means of transportation; therefore, they could not come to the flagship crusades in the city. Thousands tasted the goodness of God, and they brought their family, friends, and acquaintances with them the next evening to experience the Lord for themselves. My heart was broken anew for every single person. It was a very special time there!!
We saw people getting healed:
- But when she saw that there were many strong lights on the field, she was deterred from coming to the field because she had severe eye pain when she looked at strong lights. Nevertheless, because of her curiosity, she decided to go anyways. There she heard the clear gospel and decided to entrust her life to Jesus. As we prayed for healing, she tested her eyes and looked straight into one of the sources of light. Suddenly, she realized that she was no longer in She told us that pastors and believers had told her before that Jesus could heal her, but she didn’t believe them and didn’t want to go to church. But now when she had no more pain! After the prayer, she knew that Jesus had healed her, and she said that she wanted to follow Jesus and go to church.
- Jesus Heals Eyesight! Another woman could no longer read without reading glasses, but Jesus touched her eyes. She could not believe it herself and therefore only came the next day to testify, because she really wanted to be sure. She tested her eyesight all day the next day, and when it didn’t get bad again, she knew that Jesus had really healed her. We experienced many more healings and miracles; it was such an incredible time to see honour God was moving.
Impact:
Each night of the campaign was so special! We saw many miracles breaking out across the field. People were saved, healed, and delivered. Every night, the attendance grew as word spread of what the Lord was doing. The hunger was so evident as people came to hear about the Good News of God. You could see this hunger for Jesus in the eyes of the people. Above you can see the huge amount of follow materials we used for the crusades!

Crusade 3 Umuahia South
We saw the miraculous hand of God upon Umuahia South during the aftermath crusades in Nigeria. Although it was the least attended and fewest decisions among the 3 aftermaths, God still confirmed His Word with salvation and physical healing every night. The following figures shows the result of the Umuahia aftermath crusade:
| Day | Attendance | Decisions |
| Day 1 | 400 | 355 |
| Day 2 | 2,500 | 979 |
| Day 3 | 2,300 | 1,450 |
| Day 4 | 2,900 | 1,326 |
| Day 5 | 6,500 | 2,490 |
| Total | 16,500 | 7,395 |
We saw people getting healed:
Waist pain, stomach pain, back pain, leg pain, blurry vision, heart problems, chest pain, right knee pain, swollen face/stomach/leg from kidney enlargement was healed, prostate enlargement and pain gone, head pain, shoulder pain, and arm pain were all healed during the course of this week during the crusade.
Some highlights include:
• One woman who had a cast on her leg had extreme leg pain and difficulty
walking. After prayer all pain left, and she could walk on her leg perfectly well.
• One young man who had backpain for 3 years was healed after prayer. All pain
left and he was bending up and down and dancing on stage as a result of his
healing.
• One woman had a hernia and stomach pain for 2 years. She could not bend and
was in pain until the prayer for the sick at the crusade. All pain left after the
prayer for the sick and she was moving up and down and dancing on stage.
• One man had 10 years of waist pain that was totally healed after prayer.
• One woman for 8 years had terrible leg pain and eye problems. After the prayer
she was totally healed!
• Since 2012, one woman had right knee pain from a dislocation. After the prayer
all the pain left, and she was healed.
• Another gentleman was tormented by demonic spirits and heard voices in his
head every few seconds for the last 15 years. After prayer, all voices stopped
and he was set free.
Praise God for these souls that got healed!
Impact:
Another miraculous thing that happened in Umuahia was that of the pastors. We saw pastor’s lives change after the fire conference that we did. They said their ministries have changed. Our chairman during the fire conference prayed for the sick (exactly as he saw us do in the crusade) and many were healed. He challenged all churches to stop all the programs and meetings and get on the streets evangelizing and praying for the sick. He challenged the churches to always preach the gospel and pray for the sick in every church service.
