PICTURES – MUSOMA

Most of our team in Nairobi, Kenya, on July 21, 2012 — about to embark on the twelve-hour bus trip to Musoma, Tanzania

This is a picture of some of the crowd at the Nukendo Grounds, the most prominent public space in Musoma. The five night festival attendance was over 190,000 people. Evangelist Rob Welch and his translator Bishop Augustine calling the people to receive Christ as their Savior. 

Rob and Bishop Augustine preaching the Gospel to the multitudes. Bishop Augustine is a fellow evangelist and was used wonderfully by the Lord to translate the messages at the festivals. 

Leon Pannkuk instructing new believers on the next steps they need to take to grow in their relationship with Christ.

The open Bible at the podium before the listening people… Rob kept the attention of the huge crowd focused on the message of Jesus.

Team member Dave Claybook in the midst of the crowd. 

For His Glory’s festival, likely the largest public event ever in Musoma, was well publicized and drew many thousands of curious people who had not yet trusted in Jesus. At the invitation to receive Christ, most of the people present prayed to receive Christ.
