Dynamis World Ministries a.k.a. Christopher Alam Ministries International September 2007 Pentecostal Fire Fell Upon Chegutu! Dear Friends, people who live there. hegutu is a town located in central Zimbabwe. It is situated on the highway connecting Harare and Bulawayo, the two largest cities of Zimbabwe. Only a small part of Chegutu straddles the highway. Most of the community is spread out behind the trees making it invisible from the road. It is not a very large place, but it is important because it serves as a central point for the large farming villages in that region. Many believers attended the Mobile Bible School, which is a pre-crusade training program we run six days a week for several weeks prior to each crusade. This program is very important because it ensures good and effective post-crusade followup of the new believers. Because we believe this is a powerful tool to empower the local church, we require that the participating churches suspend all programs except their Sunday morning services. Most people zip through Chegutu without even stopping. So, although most know where it is, very few know much about the place or the Additionally, we expect pastors, their leadership, and a sizable percentage of their membership to attend the Mobile Bible School. If C there are churches that do not want to engage wholeheartedly in the entire event, then we do not accept them as a participating church. Our team, led by Pastor Mavondo, Director of Operations for Africa, efficiently prepared the crusade together with local participating pastors and their congregations. It was extremely cold at the start of this crusade. This has been the coldest winter in Zimbabwe in 100 years, with temperatures just a few degrees above freezing. Despite the cold, multitudes of people attended the crusade every night. Pastor David Newberry, an experienced missionary with 35 Jesus Christ, the same, yesterday, today, and forever. Hebrews 13:8 Go ye into all the world and preach years of service in Africa, was very excited about the turnout and measured the size of the crowd. The tightly packed mass of humanity stood shoulder to shoulder filling an area at least 200 by 100 yards. It is important to note that African crowds differ from American crowds. Americans do not like physical contact with others in crowds, but Africans don’t mind crowding together six to nine people per square yard! In addition to this, there were thousands packed in the streets between the houses along edge of the field, as well as in the area behind the platform. You can just imagine what it was like! I share this with you in an attempt to convey the tremendous hunger for the Gospel of Jesus in Zimbabwe today. We have seen this each time we have been to Zimbabwe during the last couple of years. The US State Department is issuing warnings about going to Zimbabwe, but I go there all the time and I have felt safer there than I would in the streets of New York City! The safest place to be is in the will and the presence of God, and one thing I have learned is that it is always the will of God to go to dark places to preach the Gospel! He never intended us to use the “will of God” excuse to stay out of difficult places and remain only in areas of comfort! It is harvest time in Zimbabwe, and we have to preach the Gospel and bring souls into the kingdom of God. As Christians, we are the salt of the earth and light to a dark world, and if we are afraid to go to places like Zimbabwe, how will people hear the Gospel and be saved? Multitudes responded to the Gospel message every night of the crusade and received the Lord Jesus – there is nothing like seeing sinners being gripped by conviction and coming to the Savior! God also confirmed His Word with wonderful signs, wonders, and miracles. There was a paralyzed woman carried by her children to the Saturday crusade service. Jesus healed her, and she rose up and danced! The crowd praised the risen Christ who alone can do such wonders. A young paralyzed man dragged himself to the crusade where Jesus touched him and he began to walk. There was a little girl, who was brought by her sister and had never stood nor walked since birth. God healed her and she stood up and walked all over the platform. The crowd went absolutely nuts praising God! O’ the power that is in the mighty Name of Jesus; the Name that is above every Name! There were many deaf people healed. One little boy who was born deaf and mute began to hear when Jesus touched him, and he was then able to repeat every word that I spoke. There were paralyzed and blind people, those with tumors and cancers, and multitudes with other diseases who were also healed. God was showing the people of Chegutu that His son, Jesus, is alive! On the last night, thousands were baptized with the Holy Ghost and with Fire. People speaking in tongues, falling, weeping, shaking, and shouting as Pentecostal Fire came down upon the multitude. After this impartation of the Holy Ghost, literally thousands testified that they were healed by God’s power during the meeting!

In addition to this, there Clockwise from left: This woman was paralyzed and carried to the crusade by her children. For several years this man was paralyzed and could not walk!

During their time with us, we will take care of these pastors and feed them. The economy is very bad in Zimbabwe with over 80% unemployment and 5,000% inflation. Many of these pastors have little to eat, and we want to bless them with good food while they are with us, which will cost us about $10,000 to feed them. In addition to the added food expense, we need to purchase a reserve generator for our crusade operation. This is approximately $10,000 for this additional generator. If you or your church can stand up and sponsor these needs in any amount, it would be a great blessing for us! Thank you for your love, prayers, and support! In Christ, Christopher and Britta Alam Testimonies... Belinda Matekia, 15, was born totally deaf in both ears. Jesus healed her, and now she can hear perfectly! Judith Kangungu, 42, was completely deaf in one ear in addition to being nearly blind, and Jesus opened both her eyes and her ear!
