Watch the testimony of Panna from Bangladesh by clicking here. You will find out how Jesus saved her life during our Bollovpur Crusade on March 2–4, 2026. As a result, she also felt strong urge to join a local Assemblies of God Pentecostal church.
Dear Partner In Missions,
Our Lord Jesus Christ performed countless miracles and mighty signs during our most recent mission trip to Bangladesh from February 24 to March 10, 2026. I want to encourage you, as a partner in missions, with these testimonies. At the same time, I want remind you that your prayers and support played a vital role in making them possible. The greatest miracle of all is always the salvation of a soul rescued from eternal punishment and brought into new life in Jesus Christ.
In the video above, Panna from Bangladesh shares how Jesus completely transformed her life during the crusade we organized in Bollovpur, West Bangladesh, on March 2–4, 2026. She is one of the 1,850 people who accepted Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior during our latest mission trip.
Coming from a Hindu background, she still begins with the traditional Hindu greeting “Namaskar,” which is very common in Bangladeshi culture (Christians in Bangladesh often greet one another by saying “Immanuel,” meaning “God with us”). After that, it is deeply moving to hear how Jesus encountered her and her family, turning their lives upside down in the best possible way. The Holy Spirit opened her eyes to understand who Jesus truly is and what He had done for her personally.
In the video, she explains how the worship songs, prayers, and the preaching of God’s Word touched her so deeply that she wanted to be baptized and become part of a local Assemblies of God church. That church organized the crusade together with the Salvation To All Nations mission organization.
In the center of the photo is Pastor Probir Mondol, the regional leader of the Assemblies of God churches in West Bangladesh, wearing a blue shirt. In the background is Pastor Barnoba Gomes, the regional leader of the same church movement in East Bangladesh. On the right side of the picture is Pastor Stuart Davids from Seguku Worship Center in Uganda, who preached the Gospel alongside me in Bangladesh. Pastor Probir Mondol became greatly inspired by our crusade and wanted to continue reaching his region with the Gospel. The two smaller photos above show the evangelistic outreach event he organized in Bollovpur at the beginning of May. The fields are truly ripe for harvest in Bangladesh.According to Pastor Probir Mondol, people who gave their lives to Christ during the crusade have continued coming to their church ever since the event ended. Panna’s testimony is just one of many powerful examples of what God has been doing following our Bangladesh mission trip. Pastor Mondol also serves as chairman of the entire Assemblies of God movement in the West Bangladesh region.
Soon after the March crusade, he suggested that we begin planning another major outreach event in West Bangladesh for October 1–11. Through a three-day crusade, we could potentially reach 30,000–40,000 people with the message of the Gospel. Would you join me in prayer that God’s perfect will would be done concerning this mission trip?

This took place after she decided to put her faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and believe that God is real. You can watch her full testimony by clicking the image above.

Jesus said: “ I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.” — also in Zambia (John 4:35)
The Harvest Fields Are Ripe in Zambia
God has opened an incredible door for the expansion of His Kingdom in Zambia. We are now moving full speed ahead in preparing for a major mission trip and massive crusade to the Kanyama region nearby Lusaka, the capital of Zambia, from June 22 to July 1. A team of four people from Finland will join us to preach the Gospel not only at the crusade, but also from the back of trucks in the streets, in schools, at the university, and in hospital. Around 400,000 people live in that area. Many come from difficult backgrounds marked by poverty, drugs, and countless hardships, and they desperately need Jesus as their Savior.
But nothing spiritually significant happens without a strong army of intercessors. Jesus said in John 15:5: “I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in Me, and I in him, will bear much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.” That is why I ask you to pray for a mighty spiritual breakthrough and for God’s Kingdom to break through in Zambia during our mission trip, especially during the crusade meetings from June 25–28 in Kanyama.
Our goal is to reach more than 100,000 people with the Gospel during those four days, as we expect crowds of at least 25,000 people each evening. Please pray with us daily that these people would be saved, healed, and delivered from evil spirits through the mighty name of Jesus, so that He alone would receive all the glory.
Right now, the lead organizer of our mission trip, Mark Ronnie, is traveling to Zambia to launch a 30-day promotion precampaign for the crudase among the 400,000 residents of Kanyama. Through billboards, posters, personal invitations, and radio advertisements, people will be invited to attend our crusade on June 25–28 at the large Chinika grounds, which can accommodate up to 80,000 people at one time.
The photo above shows hundreds of promotional posters that will soon be distributed throughout every corner of Kanyama so that everyone will have the opportunity to come and seek salvation in Jesus Christ at the Chinika grounds on June 25–28.
Prayer Requests for Zambia
Please pray that Mark Ronnie will be able to establish cooperation with the Gideons during his preparation trip to Zambia. We would love to give the Gideons an opportunity to distribute thousands of free New Testaments to new believers during our crusade meetings on June 25–28, but we need a miracle from God for this to happen.
I have also asked Pastor Mark Ronnie to work together with local bishops and pastors to organize a two-day discipleship training school and mass baptism event for those who come to faith during the crusade, taking place June 29–30. Please pray for the success of this effort.
Thank you as well for continuing to prays for the sound system negotiations. At the moment, the daughter of a local Zambian pastor is helping us negotiate with sound equipment providers because she has excellent local connections. Still, prayer is the key that opens doors and moves mountains.
God is a generous provider, and He has promised to supply all our needs. If He speaks to your heart about supporting the preaching of the Gospel to 100,000 people in Zambia, would you prayerfully consider obeying Him according to your ability? Please ask the Lord what His will is for you personally.
Almost daily, I pray for and bless you, our dear and precious prayer partner and supporter, with these words of Jesus: “Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you as well” (Matthew 6:33). When you put God’s Kingdom first through your prayers and support, He Himself has promised to take care of all your needs.

In the photo abobe, please check out the rental sound system, lights and stage that we have designed for a four-day crusade in order to be able to reach out more than 30,000 people per night. It is the largest but at the same time the most significant expense of the crusade in Zambia in order that the gospel will reach tens of thousands of people every night during four days campaign.
