Sulawesi who also attended the meeting to give a greeting and opening words were
arriving lately and gave his testimony that his being lateness was due to the
extraordinarily-densed crowd, very hard and time-consuming for walking just to enter
the place. Why were there so many trucks and why many of them also came late?
Definitely something special and unique had happened. Here is their story. The
crusade committee, during registering the pastors and his congregations who would
attend the crusade, had found the great number of the would-be attendant. The
number was almost double of the building-and-garden capacity. So they decided to
split the 2-day crusade i.e. the first day was allocated to the churches in the northern
part and the second day to the churches in the southern part of Amurang. For some
unknown reasons the confusion seemed to have happened which pushed many
pastors and their congregations from the southern part to join the first-day meeting
allocated for the northern part churches. And the following would tell you God’s
interference to the crusade.
As a matter of fact, many trucks and its passengers that came late were wet
because, based on their testimonies, several kilometers in the entouring areas from
the crusade (KKR) place a torrential rain poured heavily over the surrounding areas.
On the contrary within the radius circa 2 kilometers from the KKR place there was no
rain at all. This had explained why many trucks came late and were in wet conditions.
This had also explained well why the crusade could proceed well and the crowd
outside and on the street could still hear the words of God clearly and comfortably
and joined the crusade until finished. Eventhough they had to stand up, at least some
of them. Wow, glory to God! A significant number of attendants had been touched
and healed by God. Praise to Lord Jesus Christ!
The’exploded crusade’ in Amurang became the first milestone for the journey
of evangelical service of NJE in North Sulawesi. The local crusade committee that
organized the crusade was headed by Ps. DR. Hein Watuseke MA, M.Th who, later on,
became member-activist of NJE Steering Committee and served as the NJE preacher
as well. Almost every district in North Sulawesi had already been visited 2 times and,
in which, the crusades had been performed twice as well. Most of the crusades were
well-organized and successful physically and spiritually. This was due to, in some
parts, Mr. Hein Watuseke’s background as ex. politician, deputy Head of PGPI and also
deputy Leader of ‘Majelis Daerah’ GPdI (Pentacostal Church in Indonesia), North
Sulawesi. This was also due to the contribution of Ps. Morris Watuseke, who had
supported and helped a lot in the field coordinations of the crusades under Mr. Hein
Watuseke management.
