Mubi, Nigeria

One should call it THE MIRACLE of MUBI because it is beyond description. The largest single meeting had an attendance of 630,000 people, and that in Northern Nigeria! The Holy Spirit brought us to the place and He made us seek the lost, look for the overlooked, and as we found them, they in turn were found by Jesus. The total attendance over the five days of Gospel Crusade meetings was an astounding 2.4 million people.

We also call it the Miracle of Mubi because it happened against all odds. First, we were on the point of cancellation, due to lack of finance, when the Lord made “a way in the mighty waters.” Second, it is the most unlikely of all places in Nigeria to have seen such a glorious ‘heavenquake.’ To say this place had been overlooked, is an understatement, as even well-traveled Nigerians from other areas confessed that they had never heard of it. But Jesus had, and He led us there by His Spirit to experience an almost indescribable flood of salvation, deliverance, and healing power over the five days of meetings.
 

Because of the rural nature of the area, people traveled in from the surrounding region, many on foot, and even while our technicians were setting up the crusade equipment days before the event. They reported that thousands of people began congregating on the open field around the platform. The number grew daily until by the time the first meeting began, a multitude estimated at 50,000, were already ‘camping’ on the crusade ground forming a ‘Crusade City.’ Every evening, the ‘residents’ were joined by hundreds of thousands more who streamed to the evening Gospel meetings and for the whole week, it looked like the entire activity of the town of Mubi had been transplanted to the crusade site.
