First service in Swakopmund, 117 people saved |
One of the unknown jewels of the African continent is the Nation of Namibia. Steve and Shirley Anderson Pioneered the church here years ago. Namibia gets its name from the Huge beautiful Namib desert along the western coast. As I arrived into Namibia, We drove to Swakopmund along the coast for a one night revival. With little preparation, about 150 visitors came and 117 answered the altar call for salvation. The altar was so packed, there was no room to move. God showed his power in that service. The next two days we held seminars for the pastors and their wives, to refresh and encourage them in the ministry.

Saints giving praises |
The revival in the Windhoek church was launched Sunday thru Thursday, it was good, I mean real good. Visitors and backsliders were drawn by the love of Jesus. Each altar call saw people come forward and profess Jesus as Lord. The saints in Windhoek know how to invite Gods presence into a service. One night during the worship they sang "hallelujah" so wonderfully, I was moved. I actually filmed them singing and posted it on YouTube under "Marty Carnegie in Windhoek". The congregation responded so powerfully to the preaching, I knew it was the timing of God. In total over 450 people answered invitations to Christ on this trip to South Africa and Namibia.

Pastor Setson & Mary |
I was so surprised one evening as I walked out of the church and saw peopled lined up outside waiting for a seat. So many were coming, the ushers had to hold people up until they could set up chairs and then let them file in. God is moving in Windhoek. The Ajala's did a great job building on the pioneer foundation and establishing this church. Today under Pastor Setson's leadership they are building their own church, scheduled to open sometime next year.
