Caicó, Brazil - Crusade of Faith and Miracles with Evangelist Daniel King

Caicó, Brazil is located in Northeast Brazil in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. According to a census in 2013 a total of 66,246 people live in the city. The city has the highest rate of suicide in the state and the third highest rate of suicide in the country of Brazil. Caicó is known as a stronghold of idolatry and the people fight mental depression and spiritual oppression. The city is considered to be a stronghold of Catholicism. The patron saint of Caicó is St. Anne and every year a festival is held by the Roman Catholic Church to honor her memory. Caicó is also known for hosting the largest carnival in the state of Rio Grande do Norte.

The planning for the crusade began six months in advance. A crusade director visited the city of Caicó and met with the local pastors. They indicated their eagerness to participate in the crusade. All nine of the evangelical churches in the city participated in our crusade. The total membership of these nine churches equals 1,357 which is about 2% of the population of the city of Caicó.

Three months prior to the crusade, prayer cards were given to all the church members. Each believer was encouraged to write down the names of ten unsaved people on their prayer card and to begin to pray for them to be saved. When the event drew closer, the church members reached out to the ten people and invited each of them to attend the crusade. Permission was secured from local authorities to hold the event. One month prior to the crusade, one thousand posters were distributed throughout the city. The local churches distributed seventy thousand crusade pamphlets and fifty thousand youth crusade invitations. In the eight days prior to the crusade, seven sound cars were used to announce the crusade for six hours each day for a total of two hundred and fifty-six hours of sound car announcements. Seven hundred and fifty radio spots were run on three different radio stations over a fifteen-day period. WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook were also used to advertise the event.

Our international team of ministers included six Americans, one Canadian, one Paraguayan, one German, and at least five Brazilians. When the team arrived in the city, we immediately began ministering in local schools and neighborhoods. We also gave away food to hungry families.

We held a three-day training event for local believers. Then we did a youth event and used music and a strength team to attract the young people. When the crusade began, the city was ready. On Friday night, three deaf people were healed and began to speak. This miracle caused attendance on Saturday night to greatly increase. We also did a children’s festival and a pastoral leadership seminar.

A total of 641 people filled out decision cards at the crusade indicating they decided to follow Jesus. This harvest of souls represents an increase of 43% in the number of Christians in Caicó, On the Sunday after the crusade, all nine churches in the city reported that new people attended their churches.

I Need Your Prayers - Unrest in Brazil is Threatening Our Festival

I need your prayers.  Today, I am headed to Brazil for a Gospel Festival in the city of Caicó.

As our team is getting on the plane, we received word about a strike that is paralyzing the country of Brazil.

The truck drivers of Brazil are worried about rising gasoline costs and they have gone on strike. They are blocking many of the roads with their trucks and because of there actions food is not getting to the stores and gasoline is not getting to the gas stations. Empty grocery stores are causing lots of unrest as people worry about what they will eat.

The president ordered to police to clear the roads, but the police disobeyed because they say they are on the side of the truck drivers in the dispute. So, now the President has ordered the military to clear the roads. In the midst of this chaos, many roads are blocked and many airplane flights are being canceled because of a lack of fuel. For more information, click here.

So I need your prayers for our Gospel Festival that is happening this week.

1. Pray that our entire team makes it to the city where the Gospel Festival will take place.

2. Our sound system is on a truck coming to the Festival from one thousand kilometers away. Pray it will be able to pass through all the roadblocks.

3. Pray many people will come to the Gospel Festival despite the unrest.

4.Pray the chaos will make people turn toward God and many people will be saved.

An Evangelism Research Project

We are only a few days away from going to Caicó, Brazil for a Great Gospel Festival.  

Our team will be visiting schools to invite students to the festival. For the young people, we have a strength team who will be breaking stacks of bricks, tearing phone books in half, and blowing up hot water bottles in order to attract teenagers to the festival. One member of our team is a children’s minister who will be doing a big kid’s festival. We are purchasing lots of toys and candy to give away to the children. We will be doing a leadership conference for the pastors and three nights of crusade meetings.

Caicó, Brazil has a population of 80,000 people and it has one of the highest rates of suicide in the nation of Brazil. It is known as a stronghold of idolatry. Our goal is to reach every person in the city with the Gospel. We expect 10,000-15,000 people to attend the crusade meetings.

Research Project

This Caicó crusade will be my sixth time preaching the Gospel in Brazil, but this will be one of the most significant of all my crusades.

This is because in addition to preaching the Gospel to the crowd in Brazil, I will also be conducting research at the same time.

For the past three years, I have been working on earning my Doctorate of Ministry degree at Oral Roberts University. This consisted of taking on-line classes and doing intensive one-week seminars on campus. All of my class work has been finished and now all that remains is writing my dissertation.

The Doctorate of Ministry degree is designed to be a practical degree and so the dissertation for my doctorate is called an “Applied Research Project.”  It consists of writing several chapters of theological and historical research and then conducting a research project.

You probably will not be surprised to find that the focus of my study is mass evangelism. This year, I have been reading dozens of books on the history of mass evangelism and reflecting theologically on the importance of evangelism.

Now at our upcoming crusade in Brazil I will complete the research part of my project. The goal is to provide an academic snapshot of a large evangelistic event in a developing nation. I have been doing crusades like this for years, but now I will be able to demonstrate academically what God is doing.

The main part of the research will consist of taking a survey of all the people who attend the crusade. Here are some of the questions I will be trying to answer: Who attends a large evangelistic event? What percentage of the crowd are unbelievers? Are the attendees religious or secular in their background? If they are religious, what church do they identify with? Why did people decide to attend? How did people hear about the event? Which part of the advertising is successful? What attracted people to come to the event? Do they come for the music, or the preaching, or the spectacle? Or do they arrive because they are bored and there is nothing else to do?  Do they attend out of curiosity or because they want to receive a miracle or because a friend invited them? What beliefs do people bring to the event? What are the demographics, economic level, and educational level of the people who attend? Are they children, youth, or adults? Do the unbelievers who attend understand the message about Jesus that is presented? Do people remember the information that is imparted through the sermon? Do people respond to the message? How many people are getting saved at the event?

In addition, we will be giving pre-crusade surveys and post-crusade surveys to all the participating pastors in order to capture their viewpoint and interviewing the volunteers who choose to participate as ushers and councilors at the crusade.

This project will provide information that will help evangelists be more effective in how they promote and conduct evangelistic events. This research will also provide information that can be used to defend and promote the use of mass evangelism campaigns. And when I finish the research project, I will be Dr. Daniel King.

Thank you! This month your financial gift to our ministry will be maximized because it will have an impact on the nation of Brazil, and it will have an academic impact on evangelism that will endure for many years to come.

Thinking evangelistically,

Daniel King

P.S. We still need your help in order to complete the budget for the Brazil crusade. Please pray for many people to be saved and please rush your financial gift to us. We need it in just a few days. Every dollar you give will help us reach more people for Jesus in Caicó, Brazil. Thank You and God Bless You!

Raising Up A New Generation of Evangelists

During the coming month, our ministry is doing two things to help other evangelists.

1. I am traveling to Johannesburg, South Africa to meet with a group of evangelists. I have been invited to part of the Executive Committee of the Global Evangelism Alliance by Daniel Kolinda, the president of Christ for All Nations, the ministry founded by Reinhard Bonnke. The meeting is organized by Empowered 21, an organization started by Billy Wilson, the president of Oral Roberts University. By participating in this meeting, I will have the opportunity to help develop strategies for world evangelism with other great evangelists.

2. Our ministry is sponsoring our fifth annual Soul Winner’s Alliance meeting in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Each year a select group of evangelists gets together for a time of training, encouragement, and fellowship. Last year, the evangelists at our meeting had collectively conducted over five hundred mass evangelism crusades and have seen millions of people ushered from darkness into light.

Thank You!

Your financial support is much needed and appreciated. When you support our ministry, not only are you helping us to conduct large evangelistic events, you are also helping us to train other evangelists. Because of your giving, hundreds of thousands of people will be rescued from an eternity in hell! Thank you.

Your financial support this month will help make two different meetings of evangelists come to pass, one in South Africa and one in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Both of these meetings will have a direct impact on soul winning efforts around the world. To GIVE, CLICK HERE. 

A Conversation About My Visit to an Atheist Convention

On my last blog post about my visit to the National Convention of the American Atheists, I received a lot of feedback. Quite a few atheists attacked me because my opinions differ from atheist positions, but regardless, I appreciate everyone who took the time to comment because my main purpose in going to the convention was to understand atheists better and every comment online has helped me in achieving that goal.

One result of my article was a telephone conversation with two skeptics, Joshua Richards and Rex Burks. They were both friendly and we had a productive conversation.

Joshua Richards used to be a youth pastor, but now he has become an atheist.

Rex Burks is an atheist who has studied Christianity by attending a different Sunday School every Sunday morning for the past two years.
