EVELYN JOSHUA REVIVES APOSTOLIC AGE IN ARGENTINA BY DARE ADEJUMO
The face of apostolic revival is transforming in Argentina.A new wind of change is sweeping across Latin America with the crusade of Pastor Evelyn Joshua of the Synagogue Church Of All Nations (SCOAN), recently held at Portal Del Cielo in Resistencia, Chaco, Argentina.
Portal Del Cielo (Door of Heaven), as the venue’s name suggests, became symbolic for the rebirth experienced by over 80,000 predominantly white attendees during the two-day power-packed revival, leaving them spellbound.
Clearly, there must have been an intuitive awakening among the people.Twenty-four hours before the event, scores of individuals were already arriving at the premises, spending the night under the outside canopy despite the 19-degree Celsius cold gripping the land, as they couldn’t access the venue until the day of the event.
The expectation was palpably high. The crowd was unimaginable. The venue was filled to the brim.The surrounding open fields, spanning about five acres, suddenly became an emergency overflow area for the myriad of people who could neither find a place to sit nor stand inside the main bowl.
Pastor Evelyn Joshua, in her earlier message, spoke to the audience about God’s benevolent mission of love for mankind and the wind of change about to sweep through the country. Touched by the enthusiasm of the crowd ardently seeking the face of God, Pastor Joshua assured them that God would never disappoint anyone who genuinely placed their trust in Him.
“A time for God is a time for renewal. The glorious hour for a turnaround in your challenges has come. Get ready for God’s shower of blessings upon your lives and the land,” Pastor Evelyn Joshua declared.
Quoting extensively from the books of Hebrews, Romans, John, Mark, and Psalms, the woman of God urged the people to yield their hearts to the words of God and make His words the standard for their lives.”You must maintain a close relationship with God and embody unconditional love and active faith to flow in God’s will, without which you cannot achieve anything from God,” she further stated, adding, “without genuine love, God can never entrust anyone with His power.”
As expected, the crusade was a dream fulfilled for those yearning for deliverance, healing, blessings, and salvation. In a reminiscence of Pentecost, the venue was turned upside down with the rainfall of deliverance for souls under the demonic grip of Satan. Healings were taking place simultaneously among several people present, each suffering from various afflictions, including mental health issues, paralysis, and those on crutches, as well as challenges like marital strife, drug addiction, sexual perversion, and suicidal thoughts. Many were rolling violently on the floor, countless demonized individuals were manifesting, while others were vomiting evil substances from their stomachs amidst tumultuous and cacophonic noises. Some were energetically hissing or mewing, barking or yelling, accompanied by a cacophony of hubbub and hullabaloo, all with terrifying countenances.
It was truly a challenging time for SCOAN’s ushers, who were nearly overwhelmed by the crowd of satanic victims arrested by the Holy Spirit.
People from neighboring countries, including Chile, Paraguay, Brazil, Uruguay, and Colombia, were visibly present.
Pastor Willy Gancia, along with three other pastors from Brazil, stated: “We are happy to witness this move of God here under the leadership of Pastor Evelyn Joshua. We thank God for the grace upon her life. We all knew Prophet TB Joshua as a true man of God, as we witnessed and had direct experiences with him while he was alive. Our joy is full. This is a new beginning for the land of Argentina. Thank God we are partakers of the blessings in this crusade.”
Fredi Marcel Bianchi from Uruguay said, “We are many from our country to partake in the blessings of this crusade. We know that God is with this ministry of TB Joshua, and you can see the enormous grace upon Pastor Evelyn Joshua. We in Uruguay don’t want to be overlooked. The presence of God here is real; we can see the moves of the Holy Spirit.”
Monica Yopice, a leader from Chile, remarked, “We are quite familiar with this ministry and know all the devices of Satan against it. We are grateful to God that His holy name continues to be glorified in SCOAN. Blessed are those who have their eyes clearly open to see God’s presence with the ministry. We are here for the blessings, as they cannot be underestimated during such occasions. We thank God for being here.”
Argentines were particularly happy with the crusade experience, as nothing like it had ever occurred in their land. It felt like a national festival, with people coming from all corners to attend. Thousands of Christians and non-Christians alike participated in the crusade. Residents of Resistencia were especially elated to host the event, which brought significant transformation to many lives.
Guillermo Alejandra, a prominent community leader, expressed, “This is a great event in our lives here. What we witnessed was beyond explanation. I am grateful to have experienced the crusade. It’s a blessing for Argentines.”
Dr. Elisa Mbango, a medical practitioner from Angola living in Buenos Aires, shared, “I flew down here to partake in this crusade. It was God who directed me to come. God is with Evelyn Joshua, and I believe attending this event is a blessing for me.”
Pastor Juan Juorez said, “God is awesome. I am happy this is happening in our land. I thank God for showing us this great mercy. What a tremendous blessing for our land, especially at this time.”
The Argentine Republic, located in South America, covers an area of 2,780,400 square kilometers. It is the second-largest country in South America, after Brazil; the fourth largest in the Americas, and the eighth largest in the world. Argentina faces significant economic and social challenges, contributing to global issues today.
Many dignitaries from various sectors attended the crusade, including Carmel Britto, President of the CHACO Province Chamber of Deputies; Jorge Gomez, a government minister; Roy Nikishch, Mayor of Resistencia; Gracias Pedro Luis, Director of Worship and Affairs; Fernando Tometo, Commissioner of Police; Veronica Liliana Mazzaroly, Minister of Tourism; Lt. Col. Santiago Villagra; Pablo Mujica, Secretary of Human Development; Javier Pinero, Director of Worship Affairs in Resistencia; and Pastors Robert Acosta, Susan Perez, Jorge Ledesma, and Alicia Ladesma, among others.
Although Argentina is predominantly Christian, the apostolic fire has been dormant. Pastor Evelyn Joshua has rekindled hope and ignited the flames of Christian revival not only in Argentina but throughout Latin America, to the delight of the people. It is the dawn of a new Christian era.
