The campaign, named ‘Bible Truth Evangelistic Lectures’ and led by the Executive Secretary of the West Central Africa Division, Pastor Kingsley Anonaba saw over 600 non-adventist visitors attending night after night .
The efforts of the Small Groups in the local churches, according to Evangelism Director of the South Ghana Conference, Pastor Chris Lambert, accounts for the massive turnout of non-Adventists.
“Since April over 1500 small group members visited with and studied the Bible with community members and then invited them to church to listen to the messages. This should be the way forward for all campaigns,” Pastor Lambert said.
