TENT GOSPEL CRUSADE
The Mission is fulfilled through Tent Crusades, always preceded by door to door visits and distribution of print material.
The Crusades are conducted mainly in the Villages/Rural areas, Peri-Urban areas and squatter Camps.
In His Presence (IHP) conducted the First crusade at Orkney in December of 2010. It was an important learning experience as we went door-to-door sharing the good news, handing out gospel tracts and inviting people to the tent at Mpheqeke Street – Kanana Location.
This is where we experienced God’s grace as people came forward to receive Jesus Christ during the evening service. Since that year, we are able to say (without exaggeration) that THE LORD HAS BEEN GRACIOUS as fairly much harvest has been realised.
At least One Crusade was held almost every year since 2010.
In 2020, we again saw the hand of God at Ramokokastad near Northam – NW Province. This crusade stands out as one miraculous event in our calendar:
- Services started on 13 of March 2020 and were to terminate on the 28 of the same month. Night after night Souls were won to the Kingdom of God and we were thrilled by the number of people responding to the alter-call. The outreach extended to the neighbouring schools where learners assembled at noon to hear the message of salvation from the IHP team.
- The crusade had just gained momentum, then BOOM…! The President declared the State of National Crises, ordering that all meetings not to exceed 100 and later announced a total shutdown of all activities including the church.
- Thank God that we ended the Crusade on March 21, with 121 recorded New Believer. The Local Tribal Authority conferred a blessing on the IHP team as we packed and left the Village by Sunday the 22nd
What can we say to all these things..? If God is for us, who can be against us? Much prayer had been offered in preparation for this outreach and all partners stand in awe of what the Lord has done.
It is our desire, that as we celebrate 10 years of active existence, we follow Apostle Paul’s example by forging on with this work of the Kingdom irrespective of how challenging it is.
“For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!” (1 Corinthians 9:16)
TENT MUSIC CRUSADE
IHP is driving a music campaign to attract young talent. This activity becomes a precursor to the main event of preaching and witnessing. Local church youth groups enlist to participate. Music has been and still is an attraction and an important ingredient to the outreach permutation.
TRAINING WORKSHOPS
Workshops are conducted a week before the tent is pitched, and these are:
- How to counsel new believers
- How to conduct ushering
- The conduct of counsellors and intercessors
- Door to Door invitations
COUNSELING
This is the snap or post alter-call counseling which usually lasts for 15min.
HANDS OF COMPASSION
IHP believes in the principle of brothers’ keeper which the word of God teaches.
