-
Schools preaching. The schools ministries were successful and very fruitful at hundreds of schools.
-
We also preached to prisoners at a police station – most of the prisoners indicated decisions for Jesus.
-
In a hospital waiting area, with a large number of people responding.
-
The largest street outreach was at a large woodyard cutting and preparing lumber , with hundreds of workers attending and making a response.
-
The were also church services and a youth crusade.
-
Street preaching - The most amazing healing happened to a deaf child in a deserted neighbourhood square with just a small number of children playing. We preached to them. The deaf child received his hearing back, and we were testing this, and this caused such an impact as he was know in the community that the whole square filled up with people. 175 people accepts Jesus because of this healing.
In total the number of recorded decisions for Jesus over the 3 weeks was 209,133
- - MAY Crusade Mission Kalulushi in Zambia
This is a town in the Zambian Copperbelt, with around approx. 100,000 inhabitants. I was a leader in one of two teams that did the very first two CfaN Aftermath ‘spinoff’ crusades, held after the main Cfan Decapolis crusades had finished.
- I was one of only 3 Bootcamp evangelists in this crusade preach on the mainstage
Amazing healings happened

Women who lost her sense of smell, was healed and it returned during the prayer
-
I man who had blindness caused by diabetes was healed and tested on stage

-
A woman with tremendous swelling from Fibroids said during the prayer the swelling and pain completely disappeared.
-
A man who said he had needed a stick]k to walk for 18 years was able to walk and run, dance and move on stage after being healed during the prayer. He left his stick on the stage
In total the number of recorded decisions for Jesus was 38,957
- An evangelistic association called Kalulushi 4 Jesus! with its own web page started after the mission, and continues to do evangelistic events afterwards.
- JULY Crusade Mission Migori in Kenya
A crusade conducted in the midst of riots!
This crusade had a successful schools mission in the first week. But JR explained the main crusade was affected by a public day of protest scheduled on the same day, which turned into a riot with gunfire and a person getting killed. This protest was due to the government raising new taxes on maize and basic foodstuffs. So our first day of the crusade had to be cancelled. The police advised us to say inside the hotel
We also had to move the crusade to another location (not shown on our publicity) because of other protests about the use of our venue which unknown to us others wanted to use on one of the nights
Nevertheless, with the school, crusades and other outreaches the four main evangelists and teams saw over 32,000 recorded decisions for Jesus. We thank Jesus for his faithfulness even during a time of adversity
JR reported that the full reports for all of these missions have been updated in the ministry site www.enterinto.life (or www.evangelistjulian.com)
OCTOBER – Lake Constance Germany (at the German Austrian border) CfaN School of Evangelism (SOE)
I was asked to be a coach at for the two weeks of initiation for the students of the CfaN school of Evangelism in Germany. During this time,
GGCC Trustees meeting for2023 4
I coached different groups of students and assessed their preaching prior to their graduation
-
Many were saved during street outreaches in various towns along the banks of lake Constance
-
The SOE finished with a big crusade ‘ Nights of Hope’ which saw over 170 decisions for Jesus
DECEMBER – General Santos Schools Missions – The Philippines
A schools crusade mission with an earthquake!!
JR explained: Quite literally there was an earthquake in Davao where we had planned to do schools evangelism when we arrived , and the schools were all closed until they had been inspected for safety after an earthquake. So, unable to do the schools in the city of Davao we moved to the city of General Santos right on the southern tip of the Philippines.
But there was a spiritual earthquake in that city, which happened during the three weeks. I attended for 2 weeks, and there was a large team of about 20 evangelists with me.
In that three weeks there were
-
212 Outreaches
-
130,198 in attendance
-
91,746 Decisions for Jesus in the schools and street outreaches
HM Report Harry reported that he was working as a University Lecturer, and as a software consultant. He had been poached by a company called ICIAN at the end of 2023 and was doing commercial research . he said the goals of collaboration with ICIAN was to build thinker for the Tree of Life, either by a collaboration or by getting the skills to be able to do it himself
He gave testimonies:
HM explained how he supports and attends the ministry at Moggerhanger where meetings of Christians involved in Kingdom technology projects and online related activities are held, started by a man called Ravi, who in the 1980s had a vision of Jesus (note: Moggerhanger House is run by a charity
GGCC Trustees meeting for2023 5
with the aims of advancing the Christian religion). He gave a story of Georga a woman who attended Moggerhanger. He explained how she had left the New Age and had come into full time Christian service.
BS, JR and HM discussed the potential of this Christian investment and tec event, emphasizing the need for developing relationships for investment opportunities and creative people to work on the Tree of Life app.
HM said that indeed at the 2023 event someone had discussed possibly giving £250,000 to GGCC, which even although this didn’t happen, it showed the potential of the event.
BS Report Working at the ‘Experience Project’ a foodbank based in Southend on Sea, and still the largest in the city.
BS reported an example of the many things that had happened in the good work of the project in helping people in a time of economic difficulty, ministry which he described as ‘Christian guerilla warfare’, as there were many sorties into the surrounding poor estates, places of deprivation and high crime to give out food and the gospel.
Testimonies he shared were
A volunteer at the project diagnosed with cancer, who was prayed for. But when he came to his operation, the doctors couldn’t find the cancer. His heart problem had also got better.
They had seen salvations too. There was another lady who had a cancer diagnosis and was completely healed too. Her so asked if he could be prayed for. Now they both go to church
Discussions
We all discussed various testimonies of events during the year where God had given us supernatural dreams and divine appointments and opportunities for us to be able to share the gospel with others and see God move in a supernatural way to reveal his word to people.
JR shared two stories where he had been supernaturally led to people, one at the Royal Albert Hall, sitting next to a shaman, who he had previously met at a party 4 years earlier, (leading to an invite for a meeting where he heard
GGCC Trustees meeting for2023 6
the gospel) and the other one on a plane in the Philippines where her daughter lived very close to JR in Westcliff
Finances and Funding
JR Introduced financial situation
Tree of life project
- The finances are broadly the same as last year, at around £20,000 (including approx. £4000 when HMRC tax was refunded).
Julian’s Evangelistic ministry Enter into Life Ministries
-
There was a gift of $1000 from the USA
-
A gift of over £5000 came from another donor for Enter into Life Ministries, used entirely to fund flights for missions.
-
Other small monthly donations have been received.
-
The rest has come from funds supplied by Julian Reddihough
Brent Summers working for The Experience Project
- Financial gifts were given to him on a regular basis which part funded his evangelistic ministry this year
There were further discussions on an idea to contact famous Christians for funding when the time was right
Tree of Life
This has been largely rested this year due to JR still being fully committed in learning how to direct crusades, and still having a big shortfall of funds to execute the project . However, there were great hope with HM new step forward in A.I. that this would be the way forward for the project when time opened up for more work to be done on it .
Future developments
In 2024 Julian had plans for a CfaN ‘Aftermath’ crusade in Nigeria, one in Zambia, and another in Uganda. There was also possibility of being a coach at a Fire camp in London.
