ʽʽBless the Lord, O my soul and all that within me, bless his holy name" Psalms 103:1-3. This was the topic for the crusade organized by God’s Beloved ministry and Bethammi Christian fellowship church in partnership with 63 fellowship churches in Gatsibo district, Eastern province of Rwanda from 7th to 10th March. This event was prepared to be done in two ways: the conference for church leaders and Open Air crusade with the purpose of restoring unity and reconciliation among people of Ngarama. Three days conference took place in the morning from 7th to 9th March 2019 and three days open air crusades had to take place in the afternoons from 8th to 10th March 2019. But due to great Joy that happened during the first day of the conference, church leaders together with different Christians of Gatsibo Churches, they decided to start a crusade on 7th March 2019.
It is was a blessings and honor to host Rev Pastor Joshua Chiong, the representative of God’s Beloved Ministries from United States of America. And Gatsibo people were extremely happy because a lot of them were in need of his teachings and some of them heard testimonies from others who had a chance to meet with Rev pastor Joshua as it is not the first time to organize such event in Gatsibo district, but different sectors.

The First Day: Thursday 7th March 2019: Conference and Unplanned open air crusade
The first day of the conference took place on 7th March 2019 where Rev Pastor Joshua Chiong started by the topic of Unity. Gatsibo churches’ Leaders and pastors understood the power of unity basing on different teachings they got from Rev. Joshua Chiong. Pastors understood well the difference between Unity and being Uniform and that in the church, there should be Unity, not Uniformity. All pastors decided to go back to their churches to preach and train their Christians about unity so that they can live and work together for the kingdom of God to achieve same Vision. The conference was planned to host 570 leaders but the number of participants increased to 800 people.
At the end of First day of Conference that took place from 9:20 Am, people decided to have an open air crusades which was not planned. But due to joy that happened in the morning, Church leaders had that crusade. Unfortunately Rev. Joshua and Pastor Steven were not present. The attendance of March 7th open air crusade was 70,016 people from nearby area because it was an unplanned crusade.
The Second Day: Friday 8th March 2019: Conference and Open air crusade
On the second day, the conference and crusade continued, but with special teachings and miracles of healing. In the morning (Conference) Rev Pastor Joshua preached Ngarama sector Leaders about Love and Forgiveness, but focused on forgiveness as Love have been Covered by Pastor Steven, and showed them how it is burden to people who don’t forgive and show how it is difficult to people who don’t forgive others. Basing on different scriptures, Rev pastor Joshua taught us that Jesus forgive us more than what we don’t want to forgive others. He also told us that if we don’t forgive others, our prayers will not be heard and Sacrifices will not be accepted as quoted from different bible verses. People took time to pray to ask God to show them who they can forgive or ask for forgiveness. After that prayer, people prayed together and ask God to give them Courage of forgiving even before people ask for forgiveness.
After that we have been blessed by the servant of the Lord: Pastor Steven who encouraged Leaders to make the word of God their Life, not to only read it but also Live a life of those who Know God.
According to our proposal we planned to receive 570 leaders but we received 1200, including different choirs that blessed us a lot.
To the second day, also it was the afternoon open Air crusade which started at 3 pm and we were expecting to have more people. We praise the Lord for His presence, different people from Gatsibo were there and have been blessed by different Choirs and artists, including the father who sang together with his son.
On this day, Pastor Joshua preached about two questions that people ask themselves: Do Jesus want to heal me? And is Jesus able to cure my Disease or specific sickness? Basing on Bible verses, Rev. Pastor Joshua answered those two questions and we saw that Jesus wants to heal us and is able to cure us. And Rev. Pastor Joshua basing on scriptures, concluded that all are possible to those who believe.
On this day the attendance was 1200 in the conference and 178,204 In open air crusade. And people who have been healed from diseases were 79,342. After teachings, we had 11,234 people who were saved and decided to leave a sinful life.
