Harvest Revival Campaign Results
On September 1, 2003 our ministry launched Harvest Revival Campaign. As the services went on successfully, we extended the Revival Campaign until March 1, 2004. We are thankful for the leadership of the Holy Spirit in this endeavor and we are prayerfully expecting new ministry opportunities. We are available for revival, mission, youth and other special services. If you feel that our ministry would benefit your vision and congregation, please do not hesitate to contact us. We hope to minister with you soon.
Cup & Cross Broadcasting over Cameroon
The Bonne Nouvelle (Good News) Radio in Cameroon is starting to broadcast Cup & Cross Ministries’ revival services. The Nouvelle Radio is a national broadcast network with six regional stations located in the towns of Yaounde (the capital), Douala, Bafoussam, Ngaounderй, Kribi and Ebolowa. The Ebolowa station alone provides coverage over four major Cameroonian cities (Mengong, Bewong-bane, Abang, and Bityli). It is projected that the services will soon be broadcasted through a seventh retranslating station in the town of Kye-osi at the border with Equatorial Guinea.
