Liberia (MNN) ― Hundreds of people gave their hearts to Christ in an evangelistic meeting on the outskirts of Monrovia, Liberia.
It was the culmination of a three-day evangelistic effort with evangelist Sammy Tippit that ended Sunday. They were held in the football field of the New Kru Town borough, where thousands gathered nightly to hear Tippit preach.
The celebration of the Gospel was initiated February 22nd by a march in which 400 Christians marched, danced, and sang through the main streets. Many of the watchers then followed the procession into the stadium, heard the Word of God, and gave their hearts to Christ.
While there, they met the Vice President of Liberia and shared their burden for continued peace in the nation. Pastor Emmanuel Gyamfi, chairman of the crusade, accompanied the Tippits to the meeting on Friday afternoon. Sammy Tippit last traveled to Liberia three years ago, at the conclusion of the war. Since then, his desires for the church and the country have come to pass as Liberia has been set on a path of peace.
Tippit also held a pastors and leaders conference in one of the local churches, where he challenged the pastors to pray for revival in Liberia. He spoke to these leaders on Praying for Your Family during the first session and encouraged them to search for Him with their hearts.
