Today is the first day of the crusade. We know that the spirit of Islam opposes such events and tries to build obstacles. But God is for us!
The crusade was scheduled to begin at 5:00 p.m. By that time, 200 buses carrying people were supposed to arrive. Just as the buses began arriving, the streets were blocked. The reason was that a minister was passing through that part of the city.
In short, a major traffic jam formed, and people were several hours late. Instead of starting at 5:00 p.m., the service had to begin at 9:00 p.m.
I (Dmitriy Leo) ministered on the first day and came onstage only at 10:20 p.m. At that point, some of the buses carrying people were still stuck in traffic. As a result, the venue was only partially filled.
The service had to be shortened as much as possible. It lasted only 1 hour and 30 minutes because people needed to return home. We are sorry that some buses never brought people to the crusade and had to turn back. We believe that God will bless those people.
Please pray that the opposition will be broken and the obstacles removed.
We were also told that a threat had been made. Bad people called and demanded a huge sum of money, or else they would carry out a terrorist attack at the crusade. We believe that the spirit of Islam is afraid of us, which is why it is creating such turmoil. But the Lord's army is with us, and we are under the protection of the Most High. Amen!
We thank God for the first day of the crusade. God is with us. People received salvation, healing, freedom, and breakthrough. Despite various negative circumstances, there were many miracles.
Special thanks to the ministry team from Russia and Ukraine, who ministered to the people so well. God used everyone mightily. This is the victory of the entire team.
By the way, this trip is a great sacrifice for everyone. We did not come to Karachi to make money, but to invest. Please pray for the team’s blessing, because accommodation and food turned out to be more expensive than expected.
By the time we checked into the hotel, no basic rooms were left, so we had to take more expensive rooms. There was no other option. Before that, we had been staying at another hotel that was a little cheaper, but we left quickly to avoid problems.
Fleas were jumping on us there, and we slept on linens that “smelled” of other people; there were long women’s hairs on the pillows and towels. But most of all, we were concerned about our health when we realized that we would have to eat there every day. At the same time, by Karachi standards, we were staying in a good hotel. In short, Karachi is not Moscow.
All right, now for the good news. There were many miracles. Glory to God!
Unfortunately, due to a lack of time and various organizational matters, we were unable to present many of the miracles from the stage. However, we decided to share with you the testimonies we personally saw and heard while ministering to people.

- At the very beginning of the service, a man who could not walk stood up and began walking. He later testified from the stage about his healing.

- The demon-possessed submitted to the authority of Christ. As soon as “at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow” was proclaimed, people under the anointing knelt or fell. No matter how the spirits protested, they bowed before the authority of Christ, and many were delivered from the spirit of witchcraft.
- During prayer, they saw the paralyzed man’s arm begin to rise.

The authority of Christ was so powerful that there was no need to pray for long; everything immediately submitted to Jesus.
And many other testimonies.
Thank You, Lord!
You are great!
Amen.
