This prophetic declaration was given by Reinhard Bonnke in early Feburary of 2013. This is the same German evangelist who declared “All Africa Shall Be Saved,” and witnessed more than 55 million African souls make a decision to renounce Islam, witchcraft and other false gods—and commit to follow Jesus Christ—in just a nine-year period.

Our last three days - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday - were the final days of clinics in three different Indian villages. I had my high point of the journey during this time.
It is Sunday and the 36 of us have been divided into several smaller groups. Each group went to two churches to lead various parts of the services. Some gave testimonies, some demonstrated the 5-step healing model we have been using, and some preached.

Well, today is our second clinic, and we have gone to a city larger than the small village of 40 homes that we went to yesterday. Again we began the day with a circle of 36 people worshipping Jesus in the midst of the city. We are from six nations (U.S., Canada, Australia, England, China and India), and through our worship, we are lifting high the name of Jesus and His kingdom and His power over all other powers in this city. We are opening a portal in the heavenlies directly above us for His grace to fall and flow through us this day as we minster Jesus to a Hindu people.
Jesus performed healing, and people received the Gospel. I have always hungered to see this happen and today, I not only saw it, I participated with 35 others in DOING it. Every member of our team saw God move in miraculous ways through them!
9:00 in the morning we walked into a quiet village in India with 200 houses, three Hindu temples and no functioning Christian church.
We are very excited for all the Lord is doing in us and through us in India! Steve Stewart has developed a great new way of keeping friends and family up to date on everything God is doing while we are on our trip. Every day they will be posting video blogs and updates to their Facebook page. You can follow us in India by “Liking” Impact Nations on Facebook.
I have experienced tremendous joint pain for the first time in my 60 years. I injured my knee about 10 weeks ago and then re-injured it 3 more times in the following 8 weeks. I either sprained it or tore something in the side of my knee. I put out a prayer request for healing and am very grateful for all the prayer and email responses. Your prayers and friendship are appreciated more than you can imagine. Many have issued prayers of command for the knee to be healed, and I have agreed with them and seen God's healing power flow into my knee. I gave it three days of rest before I was scheduled to teach again. Now, two weeks later it is almost completely pain free.
