Program areas at Global Field Evangelism
The Global Field Evangelism network of national evangelists exists in 6 countries in Africa: Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, Rwanda, and Tanzania. These teams work all year round preaching in villages, market-places, prisons, high schools, colleges, and at Jesus Film shows. They are funded to do these meetings and receive personal support from the US ministry of SWEA. This year they conducted 18,205 separate meetings. They preached to over 14,623,000 people and recorded 13,759,000 individuals who indicated a decision for Christ. They also held 145 seminars where they trained over 15,400 pastors, evangelists, and lay-people on how to do personal evangelism and how to conduct church-wide and mass evangelism events.
Direct support for 2 orphanages in Eldoret Kenya. Money was used for food, clothing, medical care, and education of orphans.
Shad Williams Evangelistic Association did not conduct any personal overseas evangelistic preaching projects this year. Instead we took the funds that would have gone into our travel expenses and invested them directly into the expansion of the overseas Global Field Evangelism work. That increase in funding on the international side enabled us to see a significant increase in productivity out in the field. We also spent a great deal of time administering and continuing to develop the new fields we were able to expand into two years ago, as well as adding additional equipment to the field. We also spent time working on additional book distribution for overseas ministry.
