On July 20, 2013 Evangelist Daniel King will give away over
half-a-million salvation books in the nation of Honduras. Trained counselors at
eighteen massive Gospel Festivals throughout Honduras will distribute the books
to new believers. This massive distribution of literature is part of “One
Nation, One Day,” a nationwide outreach to this Central American country.
The book entitled “Welcome to the New Honduras” covers the topics
of salvation, healing, the Holy Spirit, faith, and how to walk with God. In the
back is a decision card that will be filled out by each recipient and given to
the local churches so they can follow up with the new believers.
Daniel King has visited sixty-three nations around the world and
seen over one million people receive salvation in his services, but this is the
biggest outreach he has ever participated in. He says, “We are asking God for
the entire nation of Honduras to hear the good news of Jesus Christ in just one
day. Many different ministries are joining hands together to make this
unprecedented evangelistic outreach possible. God is calling us to work
together to change an entire country. It is amazing what can be accomplished
for the kingdom of God if we do not care who gets the credit. No logos. No
egos. Just Jesus.”
Eighteen evangelists are joining together to conduct Gospel
crusades in the capital of every state in Honduras. Almost two thousand
short-term missionaries are invading the nation for a week of ministry making
this one of the biggest mission trips in history.
The president of Honduras has personally invited the teams to
come. The legislature of Honduras passed a law declaring the day of the
outreach to be a national holiday. The missionaries have been invited to visit
every public school in the nation to present the Gospel. Two hundred doctors
and nurses will be offering free medical exams. Eighteen containers of food
have been shipped to Honduras. Almost five million meals will be given away to poverty
stricken people.
Honduras was chosen for this outreach because of the great
need in the country. According to the Associated Press, the largest city in
Honduras is the murder capital of the world. 1,218 people, an average of over
three people every day, were killed in 2012 in San Pedro Sula. This violence is
caused by drugs, criminals, and gangs. It is hoped that this massive
proclamation of the Gospel will cause a decrease in crime and change the future
of Honduras.
The goal of reaching an entire nation for Jesus was birthed
twelve years ago when Daniel King and his friend Dominic Russo were both
students at Oral Roberts University. Sitting together in a dorm room, they
started dreaming about what it would take to present the Gospel to every person
in a nation in one day. Now, under the leadership of Dominic Russo, this dream
has become a reality. Other ministers involved include John Bevere, Tommy
Barnett, Myles Monroe, Kari Jobe, Tommy Tenney, Sharon Daugherty, Mark
Chironna, Jack Myers, and Rick Ciaramitaro.
Isaiah 66:8 asks, “Can a nation be saved in a day?” The leaders
of “One Nation, One Day” believe that for the first time in history, this
prophetic question asked over four thousand years ago will be answered with a
resounding “Yes.” They are asking God for the entire nation of Honduras to be
changed in one day.
