Largest Christian outreach event in history planned for 2020

Posted by ∙ ∙ In News ∙ , , , , , ,

The title should read “Largest New Apostolic Reformation “Christian” outreach event in history planned for 2020.” According to The “Christian” Post, three of the “Christian leaders” endorsing the crusade include evangelists Heidi Baker, Andrew Palau and Daniel Kolenda, all NAR wolves in sheep’s clothing. The organizer of the outreach told the CP reporter, “God said, ‘Now is the time to do this.’” One thing is for sure. Since the NAR is a theological train wreck that is spreading a false gospel that saves no one, the god that told her to put on the worldwide event was not the God of the Bible. The god she heard from was more than likely the god of this world. So with this backdrop in mind, here’s the article:

A network of churches and ministry leaders are aiming to put on the “largest Christian outreach” crusade in history across dozens of African countries next May in a movement that will culminate on Pentecost Sunday.  Continue reading →
