Thousands Make Decisions for Christ at Greater New
York Billy Graham Crusade
We would like to congratulate Billy Graham for his years of faithful
service and dedication to the cause of Christ. His life, message,
and ministry has touched hundreds of thousands of lives for the
furtherance of the Kingdom of Christ!
By the end of his historic Greater New York Crusade, Billy Graham
had preached to more than 242,000 people,
and over 8,700 people of all ages
and widely varying nationalities had committed their lives to Jesus
Christ.
Mr. Graham spoke of the deep, immediate need of mankind for forgiveness,
and gave a clear explanation of repentance and the new life it brings.
"The Bible says that today is the day of salvation," he
said. "This should not be the end of anything. This should
be the beginning of a new day with the Lord in New York."
For more than 8,700 people, the Greater New York Billy Graham Crusade
was just that.

North Country Encounter - Steve Wingfield
The Steve Wingfield Evangelistic Association just completed a very
successful Encounter crusade in Watertown, New York just a few miles
from the former home and conversion site
of "the father of modern revivalism" - Charles Finney.
The Encounter involved the participation of about 100 churches
which supplied more than 600 volunteers including 400+ counselors.
The four day event held in the Watertown
Municipal Arena saw 530 people make
public decisions for Christ. Over the course of the Encounter more
than 12,600 young people and adults
attended the various crusade
events.
Steve Wingfield spoke every night of the Encounter with classic
messages extolling God's love and His ability and desire to change
lives.

JUST 10 Series in England
Evangelist J. John of England finished the JUST 10 series in England
with over 12,000 people attending
each week and some awesome stories of transformed lives. The missions
were held in Bangor, Birmingham, and Lincolnshire.
JUST 10 Birmingham has been a story of God's power and grace at
work in the lives of so many people across the churches of Birmingham
as they have worked together to realize the dream. It's been exciting,
although at times a little pressured; rewarding, yet costly to the
organizing team, but most of all we have seen lives being transformed
by personal encounters with Jesus.
