AFRICA’S CALL FOR THE GOSPEL
Dear Friend . . .
Evangelist Ron Susek
I am reminded of the words
written by the Apostle Paul: "For a wide door for effective
service has opened to me, and there are many adversaries” (First Corinthians 16:9).
The countdown to Africa has begun. The door began to open
in Zimbabwe and opened wider as invitations came from
Malawi and Kenya.
I have been greatly encouraged by the many notes I have received assuring me of your prayers, my friends. Thank you.
We are entering upon a serious mission that will certainly be
met with opposition--both human and satanic.
FIRST STOP ~ Zimbabwe

pastors’ summit.
People in Zimbabwe
Capitol City ~ Harare, Zimbabwe
have been in prayer
as I prepare to
address some 2,000 at a national convention. The truth
they are requesting is the gospel. Officials from the Mennonite World Alliance will also be
attending the conference.
The conference will be followed a week later by a Great
Commission Summit. One of my themes will be Discovering the Real
You. The purpose is to train pastors how to use the gospel to bring deep
resolution to the thousands who have suffered great trauma from the
injustices and massacres they have faced.
Bishop Danisa Ndlovu (right) of Zimbabwe spent time at our home discussing and praying how we can see the gospel spread across his nation.

of Zimbabwe visiting Ron's home. The
two men discussed the soon coming national conference that Ron will address,
as well as the Great Commission Summit
for pastors to follow. They spent significant time in prayer and discussed ways
that the church can take a leadership role
in the emotional healing of Zimbabwe.

Malawi.
Malawi awaits our arrival
with unusual possibilities.

Kachingwe is setting up a national press conference to carry
the news of our efforts throughout the land. The press is expected to be present when I address 800 pastors in Lilongwe, the capital city of Malawi.

remains an item for prayer.

That applies from the highest of leadership to the average man

THIRD STOP ~ Kenya
Capitol City ~ Nairobi, Kenya
GOAL: Meet with pastors and President of nation regarding future work in Kenya.
Kenya is one of Africa's most beautiful nations with magnificent animal game parks. Still, there is a gripping need for the
gospel to be preached.
Reverend James Matara is heading a group of pastors who
will attend a luncheon at which time I will throw out the
challenge to spread the gospel across the land. While Christianity is widely accepted in Kenya, I am told in every country
that Christianity is a mile wide and an inch deep.

Other Facts:

Mt. Kenya is snow-capped and has glaciers
Most popular safari destination
One of Africa’s best agricultural areas
This is a serious crisis. Remember that all of the Islamic nations within the 10/40 (latitude lines) window in
Africa were once Christian. They were toppled by the threat and sword of Islam. The same will happen to other
nations in Africa if we do not preach the pure gospel and teach solid doctrine.
This is a day when years of missionary labor is under threat all across Africa. Jesus commanded us to feed his
sheep. The door is open. The hour is now. I must press forward.
I am sharing this information hoping to stir and awaken great prayer. Nothing is more shameful than for
Christ's disciples to sleep while He is in agony. And the crisis that is upon the church in Africa indeed is felt all
the way to heaven.
So, I humbly ask, no I even plead, for your prayers.
The trip to Africa is being funded by a grant, but I need your special help to meet our budget at home. Thank
you for your faithfulness!
Your friend in the gospel,
