Preface
THE BEGINNING: 2010
It was the 2010 Reformation weekend when I had an intense encounter with God. I was in a dangerous area to be evangelizing in, Pakistan. We hat do be guarded by several snipers. Precisely in this situation God gave me a tremendous vision.
“I saw a huge wave going around the world
and an endless number of Christians preaching the Gospel.“
This wave of evangelism encircling the earth was all about Jesus, not about a ministry or a church movement. Every Christian, every church, or denomination united for evangelism.
For two days I experienced God‘s presence more intensely than ever before, but then my mind started to think in German again.
To mobilize the whole world for evangelism? That should not be a problem! ... How humorous: An unknown evangelist without much money and without a network wants to mobilize the world. This is either from God or impossible!
I met many key leaders in a very short time and to my surprise almost
all of them said that the vision is from God. Some leaders said that the Global Outreach Day is a wake-up call for the church, since only a few are still preaching the gospel. Within a short time Global Outreach Day be- came a big worldwide movement for evangelism and many churches and ministries participated.
“Never could I have imagined what could become of this vision. From the humble beginnings of 2010, emerged a huge worldwide movement. What God has done in 10 years is extraordinary.“
