KAMPALA, UGANDA

THE KAMPALA MIRACLE

June 6, 2012

Dear Missions-Partner,

We are rejoicing tonight after the first meeting of our Gospel Campaign here in Kampala, Uganda has just come to an end.
 
The very fact that we are here is a sign and a wonder in itself.  We experienced a miracle of provision a couple of days ago that has made this event possible and already we can see that this is going to be a historic event.  Here are just a few things that have happened since we arrived:

  • Many of you may be familiar with the remarkable story of what happened in Jinja, which is located just about an hours drive from where we are now.  (If you're not familiar with this story, you can read all about it in Chapter 30 of evangelist Bonnke's autobiography '“ Living a Life of Fire).  Today, for the first time in two decades, evangelist Bonnke set foot on Jinja soil again to pray for this city that has suffered so much since those events transpired some twenty-three years ago.  Hundreds of pastors came out to meet him and the presence of God moved in a very special way.  I wish I had more time to tell you the whole story, but suffice it to say that what Satan meant for evil, God has turned around for good.  The peace of God has returned to Jinja and a new day has dawned!
  • Last night we were received by the president of Uganda, his wife and his whole family at the state house, where we had dinner and wonderful fellowship.  Afterword Evangelist Bonnke preached the Gospel and we prayed over the first family.
  • Tonight evangelist Bonnke preached a powerful evangelistic message and thousands responded. Then we prayed for the sick and wonderful miracles of healing began to take place
  • An old lady who was totally blind in both eyes received her sight tonight (see the attached picture)
  • A father carried his daughter from the hospital with the intravenous catheter (from an i.v. drip) still attached to her arm.  She was inflicted with both typhoid fever and malaria. Tonight she was totally healed and she walked, unaided, up onto the platform to testify.
  • A man who had a severe back injury in a motorcycle accident was confined to a back brace
    Tonight, after the power of God came on him, he ripped that brace off and began to dance and jump!

There is much more - too much to tell.  We are so grateful to be here and so excited about what Jesus will do here in Kampala this week. Please bombard heaven for us this week.  Pray that every chain will be broken and every captive set free.

Yours in the Gospel,

Evangelist Daniel Kolenda

SALVATION, HEALING AND DELIVERANCE

June 7, 2012

Dear Missions-Partners,

This morning was the beginning of the Fire Conference here in Kampala.  Rev. Peter van den Berg and I ministered to the pastors and church workers who have come from far and wide to receive an impartation for their lives and ministries. I believe that the Fire Conference, in many ways, may have even more long-term impact than the Gospel Campaign itself because of it's multiplication effect.  Once the campaign is over, these ministers, filled with power from on high, will take up the baton and continue on to see Uganda impacted for eternity.

Tonight, after I preached the Gospel, there was an overwhelming response from those who wanted to repent of their sins and put their faith in Jesus Christ.  Thousands were born again into the Kingdom of God.  And the blood that brought salvation is the same blood that brought healing tonight;

  • A lady who had four lumps in her breasts said that, during the prayer, she felt heat cascade over her and she felt like things were leaving her body.  Afterward, she checked her breasts and found that all the lumps had completely disappeared along with all pain!
  • A woman who had fallen into a pit and broken her arm went to the doctors, who put it in a cast, but it did not heal properly '“ it was twisted and misshapen.  But during the prayer she said she could hear popping and cracking coming from her arm.  Before her very eyes that twisted arm snapped into place and is now perfectly normal!
  • Another woman who had a back injury also heard the bones snapping and popping as the spine righted itself and now she is completely well!

As I was praying for the sick and rebuking sicknesses, demons began to manifest all over the place.  Many were violently thrown to the ground as the demons were leaving their bodies.  This mass deliverance that started tonight will continue tomorrow night.  I will be breaking the familiar local curses in the name of Jesus and we will burn the articles of witchcraft that are brought; charms fetishes, amulets, idols etc.

Please pray for a mighty and complete deliverance tomorrow for the people of Kampala.

Yours in the Gospel,

Evangelist Daniel Kolenda

JUBILEE!

June 8, 2012

Dear Missions-Partners,

This is a very special year for the nation of Uganda.  They are celebrating 50 years of independence and everyone is using the word "Jubilee.'  But the greatest jubilee of all is the Good news of the Gospel; proclaiming liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind and setting free those who are oppressed. I believe this Gospel campaign is a prophetic sign to this nation and what we are seeing this week is not only a sign, but also a wonder.

After preaching the Gospel and breaking the curses tonight in the name of Jesus the power of God began to roll across that field.

  • A young man, totally blind in both eyes for five years received his sight tonight!
  • Another young man with AIDS was hit by the power of God on Wednesday. He said he felt electricity going through his body.  He was so sure he had been healed that he came forward to give his testimony.  But the ushers told him to go see his doctor and have a check-up.  Tonight he brought the diagnosis straight from the hospital '“ I read it with my own eyes '“ HIV NEGATIVE!
  • A girl unable to walk, walked for the first time tonight as well as a woman who was carried to the meeting due to walking disabilities!

These are but a small sampling of the many wonderful things that Jesus is doing.  But the greatest miracle of all was the many thousands who surrendered their hearts to Christ tonight, making him Lord and Saviour.  This is the Jubilee that Uganda needs and this is the acceptable year of the Lord's favour!

Yours in the Gospel,

Evangelist Daniel Kolenda

THIS IS THAT!

June 9, 2012

Dear Missions-Partners,

What a glorious day we've had in the presence of the Lord.  The Holy Spirit fell in power in both the Fire Conference this morning and then again in the mass meeting tonight.  As Peter said on the day of Pentecost, "This is that which was spoken of by the prophet Joel." Many demon possessed were delivered, deaf ears were opened, the lame walked and tumours disappeared!  Multitudes responded to the Gospel and received Jesus as Saviour and Lord.  Our bodies are weary, but our spirits are souring.  We are looking for one more mighty harvest tomorrow night.  I believe Jesus has saved the best for last.  Please continue to pray for us.

Yours in the Gospel,

Evangelist Daniel Kolenda

HARVEST 2012

June 10, 2012

Dear Missions-Partners,

Uganda is a nation that has been in the news a lot lately.  The Kony 2012 initiative put the international spotlight on this country that has been plagued by violence, bloodshed and mass murder.  We have seen a lot of concern for the people of Uganda '“ even to the point of putting up posters and petitioning government officials.  But perhaps the most significant thing that has happened this year is the Gospel Campaign that has just come to a close here in Kampala.  It is likely that more people were born again here this week than in any other single place on the face of the earth. We have seen the lame walk, the blind see, the deaf hear, the mute speak, tumours disappear, mass outpourings of the Holy Spirit, witchcraft abandoned, repentance and restitution, forgiveness granted, curses broken, demon possessed delivered and the blessing of God descend in a huge, public, national and prophetic expression of the Kingdom of God!  This is what we came here for; this is God's initiative '“ HARVEST 2012!

Although the Devil did everything he could to stop this Gospel Campaign from happening; financial difficulties and logistical challenges, many dangers, toils and snares, the Lord has been faithful, you have prayed for us and helped us financially and now the work has been done.  Local congregations are bursting at the seams with new converts and the Church has been elevated; not only in a spiritual way, but also having received the public recognition of the President himself and the First Lady who personally attended the campaign.

I mentioned before that, this year, Uganda is celebrating 50 years of independence and it is being called a "Jubilee" year.  It just so happens that, even though we weren't aware of any of these things, the Lord directed us to be in Uganda this year, not once, but twice (it is the only nation we will be in more than once this year).  

I can't help but feel that there is an extraordinary spiritual significance that is far deeper than we even realise.  HARVEST 2012 continues next month as we return to Uganda, this time to the city of Gulu (which happens to be very close to where Joseph Kony was born and is now home to thousands of refugees, displaced during the hostilities between the government and Kony's army, the LRA).  God has a plan for this nation and we (you and us) have a strategic part to play.  Thank you for interceding and also for standing with us financially.

Yours in the Gospel,

Evangelist Daniel Kolenda

WONDERFUL NEWS FROM KAMPALA!

Kampala, Uganda

Dear Mission Partners,

We are rejoicing with the report that 150,660 people made decisions for Christ at our recent campaign in Kampala, Uganda.  We believe this is a special season for the nation of Uganda and we are looking forward to returning to in just a few weeks '“ this time to the Northern city of Gulu.

This campaign was on the verge of being cancelled due to lack of finances, but you responded to the urgent need and by God's grace we were able to move forward.  On behalf of our whole team and the thousands who heard the Gospel '“ thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of our hearts and may God bless you richly in return.

Yours in the Gospel,

Evangelist Daniel Kolenda
