FREETOWN, Sierra Leone — More than 11,500 people — thousands of Muslims among them — made public decisions for Christ in April when an evangelistic campaign was conducted in war-ravaged Sierra Leone.
A team of 27 evangelists from International Crusades, along with the International Mission Board joined with churches of the Baptist Convention of Sierra Leone in witnessing to unsaved victims of war in Freetown.
“A simultaneous outpouring of God’s Spirit was reported by evangelism teams in every location where visitation and crusade meetings were held,” said Southern Baptist missionary Ron Hill.
One Baptist church doubled in size in one day, Hill said. The next day, a single visitation team led 64 people to Jesus. Volunteer Steve Cook, a truck driver from Borger, Texas, reported that almost everyone his team witnessed to accepted the Lord.
Muslims hung a banner reading, “Hold tight to the rope of Islam.” Radio announcements warned Muslims to beware of the teachings of the strange people visiting their homes.
