The 4th Jesus Festival in Thailand has started in Nakhon Rachasima (Korat)

This festival is the most massive evangelism campaign in this province over the country's history. All the Christians who live here have united to hold the festival. The organization of the festival involves 30 churches of all denominations.

Since Thailand is the largest Buddhist country, the success of the festival requires serious prayer. So, local believers have been praying for this event since July 2010. The local prayer meetings for the festival took place every week. There were also monthly joint prayers that have been held since December 2010. The last such prayer was attended by 500 people!

The organizing committee began to work on planning and preparation of the festival on October 8, 2010. The believers from Thailand have done a great job since that time.

As many as 600 people from local churches and churches from Bangkok and Mahasarakam have volunteered to serve in the usher group. All of them were trained to serve with maximum efficiency, and they exercised themselves several times.

The festival will be attended by the former Prime Minister of Thailand and the incumbent Mayor of the city. Prominent businessmen, a former fleet commander of Thailand, and a popular country singer will testify about the miracles made by the Lord.

To bring the Gospel to people, believers have prepared a lot of performances in the traditional style.

Much attention in the organization of the festival was devoted to its advertising. As many as 300 banners were deployed in the city, and 20 000 invitation brochures were distributed among the people. Believers placed special stickers inviting to the festival on their cars. Local cable television broadcasted a video that showed some miracles that had happened on previous festivals and invited people to the "Evening of Miracles" on this festival. Several dozens of radio stations have informed the residents of the province about the coming event long before the festival.

To spread the Gospel throughout the province to the maximum, the organizers rented buses to transport the people who wanted to get to the festival from surrounding towns within a radius of 100 km. In total there were 7 buses with a capacity of 68-70 people, 41 bus with 40 seats, and about 400 minibuses with a capacity of 10 people. Another 40 buses will deliver people from neighboring provinces.

Thus, as many as 8 to 9 thousand people from nearby towns will be brought to the meetings every day so that they could have an opportunity to hear the Gospel, to turn to Christ, and to accept His forgiveness and healing!
