Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will in any way hurt you.
Defeating Darkness: Spiritual Warfare, Faith Authority, and Victory Through Jesus Christ
About this episode
Chad MacDonald, founder of Revival Fire World Ministries, joins Philip Cameron to unpack the biblical principles behind spiritual warfare — and why so many Christians are losing battles they were never meant to lose. Drawing from his new book "Defeating Darkness: A Handbook for Spiritual Warfare and Overcoming Demonic Schemes," Chad explains how a Western atheistic worldview has left the church ill-equipped to recognize and resist demonic activity. "Scripture encourages us and really implores us to not be ignorant of Satan's devices," he warns, pointing to Ephesians 6 and the reality that believers "wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers." Chad shares firsthand accounts from international miracle crusades across Africa and restricted Islamic nations — including a crusade in Uganda where 60,000 people gathered and more than 2,000 surrendered their lives to Christ. He addresses the authority every believer carries, citing Luke 10:19 — "I give you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy" — and reminds listeners that greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world. "Defeating Darkness" is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and online retailers including Charisma Shop. Learn more about Chad's ministry and upcoming crusades at revivalfirewm.com.

Quotes worth sharing
“Jesus did not give us victory through his death, burial, and resurrection so that we could live in defeat. He gave us victory so that we could walk in the very victory he provided for us.”
“When Jesus said, 'I give you power over all' — regardless of the seminary you went to or the one you didn't go to, all in the Greek still means all.”
“I looked at that spirit that had turned into that bat, and I said these words to it: 'Devil, you get out because I'm tired, and I'm going to sleep.' That's all I said. And it flew right out the door.”
What's Discussed
Evangelist Chad MacDonald, founder of Revival Fire World Ministries in Cleveland, Tennessee, discusses his book 'Defeating Darkness: A Handbook for Spiritual Warfare and Overcoming Demonic Schemes.' He contrasts the West's atheistic worldview with the supernatural worldview held by two-thirds of the world, arguing that Western Christians have been conditioned to explain away demonic activity. Chad draws on 20-plus years of ministry in over 30 nations — including miracle crusades in heavily Islamic regions of Uganda and northern Africa — to demonstrate that the name of Jesus holds supreme authority over every principality, demon, and disease. He also covers the role of angels, praying in the Holy Spirit, and fasting as practical tools for spiritual dominion.

Intro
Philip:Welcome to Daily Faith. I am so glad you could join us today. My name is Philip Cameron, and we are here to stand with you in your battle and your daily walk with the Lord Jesus. Do you know that the devil has desired to have you and destroy you and diffuse you? He's discovered that if he can discourage you, if he can just slow you down, he's got you beat, because delay can cause you to stumble. He doesn't have to destroy you. He's just got to delay you. He's just got to distract you, draw your attention away, off the path that God has ordained you to walk.
Philip:And one of the things that the devil uses is discouragement. And I know watching me right now, there are people going through a circumstance, and your family's in trouble, your health's not doing well, and the devil wants to come along and amplify the problem and make you feel so unworthy and tries to weary your spirit. There's a battle going on, but my guest today has written a book called "Defeating Darkness," and I believe that we're going to be speaking into your world and in your life today, and I'm excited that you could join us.
Philip:Many, many years ago, I started a ministry in Moldova. My father called me about Romania primarily, and it was about the orphans in that country, and he nagged me and finally got me to go. Little did I know when I got in that van in Scotland, I flew from America to Scotland and then drove from Scotland to Romania, and I had no idea that I was driving towards my destiny. You never know when your moment comes. It's being faithful every day, keeping faithful, and then the moment comes, and suddenly everything comes into focus.
Philip:My dad said... We're in this orphanage. It was filthy beyond belief, cold, and we walked around the place, and I didn't want to be there, and I kept saying, "Come on, Dad, let's go. We're giving this stuff away. Let's go. We've got 2,500 miles to drive back to Scotland. Come on, let's go." And he says, "There's an upstairs." And I says, "I know, but it's the same up there as it is down here. Leave it alone. Let's go." He ignored me like he normally would and climbed up the stairs and into the salon number five.
Philip:And I walked up the stairs behind him, complaining bitterly, "This is ridiculous. There's nothing different up here than downstairs." And I walked into this room, and in the middle of this room, there's a wee boy. There's 30 kids in the room, but to me, there's only one little fella. It was like his face was illuminated with a spotlight. And I looked at my dad and I said, "Dad, look at that boy down there." And he said, "Oh, he's a bonny boy." I says, "No." I says, "God wants me to adopt him."
Philip:As quick as that, the Holy Spirit spoke and said, "That's your son." And I went in, I picked him up, and I said, "I don't know who you are or what you're doing and why you're here, but I'm not going to quit until I adopt you." And I did. It took me a year to adopt him, but in that year, we were able to rebuild the entire orphanage, replace the beds, put in toilets. I didn't know that this seemingly bypass that I was going on was directing me to my destiny.
Philip:And we've been there for 36 years now. We have a ministry in Moldova. We discovered in Moldova when a girl turned 16 in the orphanage, they would put her on the streets, and traffickers would get them. And we were at the most amazing place called Vatra Village. It's a village of six homes right on the largest lake in the whole of Moldova. And we take in these kids that are at the risk of being trafficked, and we tell them, "If you're born, God has a plan." And the crazy thing is that these kids find Jesus, and they turn from orphans to sons and daughters, and then from sons and daughters into missionaries.
Philip:And these kids are on the highways and byways preaching the gospel. And my sons, both Philip and Andrew, have just come back from Moldova, and they brought back a report of a brand-new adventure that we have right now rescuing little kids between the age of four and 16. And they brought this video back, and I want you to see it. Watch this.
Andrew:Hey, it's Andrew from The Orphan's Hands. I'm here on a cold day in Moldova. We're at Iungeni at Promise House, and I want to take a few minutes and share with you the update on what's going on here. Yesterday, I had the opportunity to spend time at Vatra Village with all the young folk that we help on a daily basis. It was family day, where once a month, everyone at Vatra gathers to spend the afternoon together, eating, talking, and playing volleyball. Even I played volleyball, this old man. And I spoke to them about how important it is to be part of this family and told them how someone just like you is praying for them and supporting them on a daily basis. It was a great time of laughter and fun. On behalf of everyone at Orphan's Hands, I just want to say thank you.
Andrew:Your gift to help purchase Promise House is more than a donation. It is a declaration of hope for the children of Iungeni and the 73 villages that are connected to this main city that have no social assistance. Because of your giving, we've been able to secure this property, Promise House. That alone is a huge milestone. You've helped lay the foundation for a place where vulnerable children will not only have shelter, but safety, stability, and the opportunity to understand Jesus' love. I'm thrilled to share with you that we have officially begun renovating the first house. Yes!
Andrew:Since these homes were originally built as summer residences, they weren't designed for year-round living. To prepare them for the children who will call this place home, we've had to remove the existing flooring and install underfloor heating to ensure they are warm and comfortable during the cold winter months. It's a cold day today. It is a more efficient way of heating a home rather than using radiators. It's exciting to see the transformation begin as we create a safe, welcoming space for these kids at Promise House. Please pray for the construction process and for the children who will soon fill these homes.
Andrew:We are believing to raise the remaining funds to complete construction, fully furnish each house, and purchase the vehicles needed to serve this community well. Because of the war in Ukraine, what has cost us $50,000 to complete one home at Vatra Village six years ago is now costing us $100,000 a home in Ungheni. If you have connection to companies who can help with furnishings and everything needed to make this house complete, please get in contact with us. Our plan is to set up a registry at Walmart, Target, and possibly Amazon to allow those who around the country are partnered with Orphan's Hands to purchase items, but the big furniture items like dressers and beds will need to be purchased and sent from our offices in Tennessee to Moldova when we have the funds to purchase those.
Andrew:There are so many exciting opportunities to be involved in what I've just talked about, but I just wanted to take a few minutes and give you an update on what is going on here in Moldova. Thank you for standing with us. Thank you for helping us build more than just houses. You're helping us build hope for so many precious lives. God bless you.
Philip:Wow, that is amazing. The wee boy that I found in the orphanage and held in my arms, naked from the waist down, covered in his own waste, you just saw him speak right now. That's my adopted son, Andrew, and he is now going to where he once was with the hope of Jesus Christ. It's the most amazing story of grace, and you can be a part of our miracle story. We're looking for people to help us finish these two homes. Each of these homes at Ungheni will cost $100,000 to finish, and then we're going to start to furnish them.
Philip:But the most important thing that I would love you to pray about is each of the homes needs 300 people giving a dollar a day per house. You can sponsor a house, a whole house filled with little kids between the age of four and 16. You can support that house for $1 a day. A dollar a day won't change your life, but I promise you, a dollar a day sure changed Andrew's life and all the other kids.
Philip:Those girls you saw in the video, if a trafficker gets one, they will earn $300,000 a year for the trafficker. We have over 100 kids in our homes. Can you imagine if the traffickers could get those girls, and boys — they use boys as well? And we need you to help us. You standing with us is a tremendous blessing. There are businessmen and women right now that God's blessed you, and you're thinking, "Well, I can change these..." Yes, you can. You can come and be with us in Moldova and watch what we do, and you can sponsor a whole house.
Philip:You can contact us real easy. It's just P.O. Box 25, Clinton, Tennessee 37716. You can also go to dailyfaith.tv. Dailyfaith.tv and we've got a giving page right there, and your gift is earmarked to help us finish these homes. And also, you can go on orphanshands.org. And there's one more thing you can use if you want to, and if it was me, this is what I would use. You can dial 833-DAILYFAITH. 833-DAILYFAITH, and if you'd like to help us, get on board and say, "We want to help and sponsor and invest in these kids' lives for the Kingdom of God's sake." A dollar a day can really change a life.
Philip:I'm excited to have my guest today with me. Now, he's a Scotsman. This is one of the reasons I like him right away because when I saw his... They put up a bunch of screens in front of me and I saw Chad MacDonald and I thought, "Yes, he's a real Scotsman." Because MacDonald, like McDonald's, where you eat your hamburgers, or where you shouldn't eat hamburgers, McDonald's is Irish. Mc means son of in Irish. If I meet an Irishman that I don't know his name, I'll say, "Hey, Mick, how are you doing?" And he'll say to me, "Hey, Mac, how are you doing?" Mick and Mac, because in Scots, Mac means the son of. In Irish, Mick is the son of.
Philip:And Chad's written a book that I'm really excited to share with you today. It's entitled "Defeating Darkness," and he's here for the first time with us, but it won't be the last time, I'm sure, on "Daily Faith." Chad, welcome to "Daily Faith," my brother. How are you doing today?
Spiritual Warfare as a Handbook
Chad MacDonald:I'm doing wonderful. It's an honor and a blessing to be here with you today.
Philip:And I hope you're enjoying my little introduction about being a Scotsman. That's worth more than everything else.
Chad MacDonald:Absolutely. I hold that near and dear to my heart. I've not been able to visit Scotland yet in all the travels around the world that we do, but one day, hopefully, I'll be able to visit Scotland.
Philip:You've got to come, my brother. There's a great church in Scotland. What's funny is we moved from Alabama up to Tennessee, and I was talking to someone, and I told them my name, Cameron, and they said, "Did you know there's a Cameron Hollow just up the road?" And I called my brother Neil in Scotland, and I says, "Neil, I've arrived home because I'm only a couple of miles away from Cameron Holler." And so I'm fitting really well in with all these Tennessee folk.
Philip:You've written a brand-new book entitled "Defeating Darkness." You want to talk about a timely word from the Lord, because we are facing, we are watching it on our screens, that Gabriel — I believe it was Gabriel, the angel Gabriel — was delayed over the Prince of Persia. That's Iran. That's in the Bible. So we're literally reliving this event because this is not just an ayatollah. This is a spiritual warfare that America is in, which is emblematic of what's taking place across our country.
Chad MacDonald:Scripture encourages us and really implores us to not be ignorant of Satan's devices. And that lets us know that there's a danger of being ignorant. Unfortunately, I believe that most Christians today are actually ignorant of that, or they take the approach of the old ostrich, bury its head in the sand when it comes to spiritual warfare. And you have to understand, and the reason that I wrote this book, "Defeating Darkness," it is really a handbook for spiritual warfare.
Atheistic vs. Supernatural Worldview
Chad MacDonald:It's not just going to give them information, but it's going to equip them how to actually pick up the sword and fight against witchcraft, against the powers of darkness, against demon spirits, and against principalities. And there's two prevailing worldviews in the world. You have an atheistic worldview, and you have a supernatural worldview. Now, two-thirds of the world actually live under a supernatural worldview. That other one-third has an atheistic worldview. The unfortunate side of that is here in the West, we're under that atheistic worldview for the most part. Most people in the West, and in churches in general, have, whether they know it or not, an atheistic worldview.
Chad MacDonald:That supernatural worldview says this. Now, two-thirds of the world, when we're doing our crusades in Africa or in Asia or wherever it is, people ask me all the time, they say, "How come miracles come so easy? The blind will see, deaf will hear, the cripples will walk, and it's like miracles falling out of heaven." And my answer to that is that God is not a respecter of geographical distance on the map, but he is a respecter of faith. And so what happens is they live in a supernatural worldview, and most of them may not know that Jesus is Lord yet, but that supernatural worldview reminds them, lets them know, that with everything that happens in the natural realm, there's a cause and effect that's happening in that supernatural realm.
Chad MacDonald:So you don't have to really teach them to believe in God, you just have to teach them and preach to them the lordship of Jesus Christ. And when they see his mastery and power displayed, they understand that no one but him is Lord. And so this atheistic worldview that has permeated much of the West comes veiled in forms like humanism and modernism, and things are explained away. But Paul implores and tells us that we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, against rulers of the darkness. And there is an unseen realm out there, a supernatural realm, that is responsible for the majority of what goes on in our life.
Chad MacDonald:And you don't have to look far into the news to see what's happening in Iran. You don't have to look far to see what's happening in our communities. Divorces on an all-time high. Families being ripped apart. Drug addiction. Perversion running rampant in the streets. Witchcraft seeming to be on the acceleration. The root cause of what's going on with that is demon power at work behind the scenes. And so I wrote this book to equip the reader and to open up their eyes so that they can know and understand what is actually going on and how they can wage the good fight of faith and walk in victory and dominion over that.
Chad MacDonald:Jesus did not give us victory through his death, burial, and resurrection so that we could live in defeat. He gave us victory so that we could walk in the very victory he provided for us. And so, unfortunately, I believe most Christians are either ill-equipped or ignorant to these devices. And most Christians, even though they don't realize it, live with that atheistic worldview. We've become so cynical, we know so much that we can explain it all away. Whereas when you're speaking to a crowd in Africa that live in that spirit world where the trees are spirits and all kinds of... once that's converted, there's no resistance.
Why Western Christians Lack Spiritual Discernment
Philip:But our mind has been so plagued by the garbage that we live under that we've secularized Jesus. I mean, we've secularized the power of God. We've explained it all away, and we've got to get back to the fact that he is divine, and he can conquer over all things in our lives. He has that power.
Chad MacDonald:Amen. Something important that you just bring up, speaking about the power of God. A lot of Christians today seem to give the devil more power than God, or it seems that they assume that he has more power than God. We have to remember this. The scriptures tell us, "Greater is he that is in us than he that is in the world." Jesus said to his disciples, "Behold, I give you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy." Listen, you don't have to be a Greek scholar to understand the meaning of the Greek word "all." When Jesus said, "I give you power over all" — regardless of the seminary you went to or the one you didn't go to, all in the Greek still means all.
Chad MacDonald:Jesus gave us authority over all the works of the enemy. And so when I write this book, I don't glorify the enemy. I go through and list what real witchcraft is. I've got over 20 years of experience, and I've preached in over 30 nations. I've confronted the powers of darkness. I've confronted witches and warlocks and witch doctors. I've faced them face to face. And the power of God has reigned supreme in every confrontation. The name of Jesus Christ still has power over every devil, over every bit of depravity, and over every bit of disease.
Chad MacDonald:And so this book will not glorify the enemy, but it will equip you to walk in that dominion that God gave you through the victory of his Son on the cross, and that's what Jesus intends for the church to walk in. It's full of stories. An incident where my wife actually raised our daughter from the dead — when just about 12 or 13 months of age, she died in her arms. And when she called on the name of Jesus, angels showed up in that room to assist her. We've got to remember that there are more angels than there are demons. And the power of God is available to every believer that walks in faith and names the name of Jesus Christ.
Philip:Hallelujah. I was talking one time to a missionary, and they'd heard this story in the bush somewhere, and this couple had been with them and had driven back towards their station and had a terrible accident. And suddenly, miles back where these folk were telling me this story, they heard this woman's voice talking to them and saying, "We've had a terrible accident. Can you come and help us?" And they were miles away. No way could they hear her speaking. And when they got to this couple, they found them very seriously injured, and the woman was speaking in tongues, and that power, the power of God, transferred her voice from the accident back to where they'd been visiting these missionaries and told them, "Come and help us."
Believer's Authority Over All Enemy Power
Philip:And we're with so much misconceptions about spiritual warfare in the church today that we don't know when spiritual warfare is presenting itself to us. We don't grasp that and explain that, because people are missing the fact that we are under warfare, and we just don't see it because of our conditioning.
Chad MacDonald:That's right. That's so very true. Most people are ignorant of the very warfare that they're entrenched in and engaged in. And our inability to recognize that and to wage successfully is literally a life or death dilemma. Our marriages are falling apart because Christians don't understand how to war. Your homes are being ripped apart, financial attacks, spirit sickness, physical attacks. The power of God is available to every believer.
Chad MacDonald:And so I go through things in this book, not just pulling back the veil on that spirit realm. I talk about principalities and demons and the difference between the two. I talk about the categories and classifications of angels and how angels are on assignment for the believer and how you can employ them on your behalf. I go through the power of praying in the Holy Spirit, the power of fasting, so that the reader can be equipped how to walk in this kind of dominion against the enemy.
Chad MacDonald:There was an instance, I remember we had a crusade in Uganda, and we had deliverance breaking out, and I probably had cast demons out of thousands of people that night, with thousands come to the cross, deliverances and healings and tumors disappearing, and I was exhausted by the time I'd gotten back to my hotel. When I had opened up my hotel room door, there was a shape-shifting spirit that morphed into a bat in that room the moment I stepped into my hotel room. I looked at that spirit that had turned into that bat, and I said these words to it. I said, "Devil, you get out because I'm tired, and I'm going to sleep." That's all I said. And it flew right out the door.
Chad MacDonald:You know the power. You don't have to be afraid of the powers of darkness. You can walk as a believer. Jesus said these signs would follow them that believe. Either you believe or you don't. There's a difference. Either you believe or you don't. In the name of Jesus, I walk in that authority, and when I walked into that hotel room, the enemy thought he was going to intimidate me. But the Bible still tells me today that if God be for me, who can be against me?
Angels, Fasting, and Praying in the Spirit
Philip:Who can be against me? The name of the book is this. I want you to write this down. It's called "Defeating Darkness," and you can get it... Where's the best place to get it? On Amazon?
Chad MacDonald:You can go on Amazon and get it. It's available on Barnes & Noble, any online retailers, or any bookstores around the nation. And I believe Charisma Shop also, yes, absolutely.
Philip:We have three minutes left, Chad. Tell me about your ministry because I want to encourage folk to support you because you're going into the dark places and overcoming. Tell us about Revival Fire World Ministries.
Chad MacDonald:So Revival Fire World Ministries is based here in Cleveland, Tennessee. We're not too far from you. But we're here in Cleveland, Tennessee. There's a mandate on my life to carry the fire of revival across America and around the world. And so I do preach regularly here in the United States through revivals and crusades and conferences. But we also spend a lot of time in our international miracle crusades. We'll try to do two to three a year as the Holy Spirit will make the provision for that to do. And we'll travel across Africa specifically very often.
Chad MacDonald:Most of the nations that I go to are restricted nations or nations where Islam is the predominant religion. We preach regularly in the northern and central regions of Africa where Islam has made great inroads. But I can tell you that even in those crusades, the power of God reigned supreme. One of our recent crusades, when we were in a region of Uganda that was heavily Islamic, they told us that no one was able to get more than 200 people on that crusade field. But the Lord sent us 60,000 people to that field. And more than 2,000 gave their lives to Jesus Christ.
Shape-Shifting Spirit Confronted in Uganda Hotel
Chad MacDonald:So that's what we do. We preach the gospel in demonstration and power through signs, wonders, and miracles.
Philip:Let me put your address up on the screen. And you may be watching us today and say, "Listen, I want to get involved in sponsoring one of these crusades." To have 60,000 people show up and be delivered from the darkness that is everywhere. That's Chad's address. Chad MacDonald, founder. He is at Revival Fire World Ministries, and you can get in contact with him online at revivalfirewm.com. And his address you're seeing, 5444 in Cleveland, Tennessee.
Philip:And I urge you today, listen, don't sit and curse the darkness. Maybe there's darkness in your world and you're fighting stuff in your own family. If you let the light shine, cast your bread upon the water, the Bible says, and it shall return back to you, pressed down, shaken together, and running over. And I'd love to have a report back from Brother Chad saying, "Hey, we got a crusade sponsored out of being on 'Daily Faith.'" And you can get this book. I'll say it one more time, "Defeating Darkness: A Handbook for Spiritual Warfare and Overcoming Demonic Schemes." And you can get that wherever books are sold.
Philip:Thank you for being with me today, Chad. God bless you. I'm glad to see a fellow Scot preaching this gospel around the world. That's what the promise is, then the end shall come. Thank you for watching "Daily Faith" today. We are partners together in the harvest, and we just want God to be a blessing in your life every day. We'll see you again. Bye bye.
Revival Fire Crusades in Islamic Nations
For over 25 years, the Cameron family has been changing the lives of orphans in Romania and Moldova. From providing running water, flushing toilets, and clean wells, to coal for heat, new windows, as well as food and clothing. They champion the physical needs of the orphans in these broken and desolate countries. Many of Moldova's orphans are saved from the horrors of trafficking through homes founded by the Camerons. And in the process, orphans become daughters and sons. They come to know their Heavenly Father and are forever changed by the love of Jesus.
God helped the Camerons lift these amazing young men and women out of darkness. Now, no longer orphans, they want to return and invade that very same darkness with the light of Jesus Christ. The Orphan's Hands equips these daughters and sons to become missionaries. Your monthly gift of $31 will allow us to rescue and take in more girls and boys, saving them from the hell of human trafficking. Your monthly partnership will allow us to care for those in The Orphan's Hands homes in Moldova and the Ukraine. If you want to join Philip and Chrissy in taking care of these precious young people, please contact us today by calling 833-DAILYFAITH. You can also give by going online to www.dailyfaith.tv, or by writing to Post Office Box 25, Clinton, Tennessee 37716. So many lives depend on what we do. Thank you for loving the lost.
Common questions
Why did Chad MacDonald write 'Defeating Darkness' — what gap was he trying to fill?
Chad wrote the book because he believes most Christians today are either ignorant of Satan's devices or take an 'ostrich approach' and bury their heads in the sand when it comes to spiritual warfare. He wanted it to be a practical handbook — not just informational, but equipping readers to actually pick up the sword and fight against witchcraft, demon spirits, and principalities.
Why does Chad think miracles seem to happen more easily in Africa and Asia than in the West?
Chad says it comes down to worldview. Two-thirds of the world operates under a supernatural worldview — they already accept that everything in the natural realm has a cause in the supernatural realm — so they don't need to be convinced that God can act. In the West, an atheistic worldview has permeated even many churches, causing people to explain away the miraculous through humanism and modernism. God, he says, is not a respecter of geography but of faith.
What does Chad say about the authority believers have over the enemy?
Chad points to Jesus' words — 'I give you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy' — and emphasizes that 'all' means all, regardless of what seminary you attended. He argues that Christians often give the devil more credit than God, when Scripture is clear that greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world.
What's a real-life example of spiritual confrontation Chad shares from his crusades?
After a crusade in Uganda where he had cast demons out of thousands of people, Chad returned to his hotel room exhausted and encountered a shape-shifting spirit that morphed into a bat. He simply told it, 'Devil, you get out because I'm tired and I'm going to sleep,' and it flew right out the door. He uses the story to illustrate that believers don't need to fear the powers of darkness — the authority of Jesus' name is enough.
What kind of ministry does Chad run, and where does he preach?
Chad leads Revival Fire World Ministries, based in Cleveland, Tennessee, with a mandate to carry revival across America and around the world. He holds two to three international miracle crusades per year, often in restricted nations or regions where Islam is the dominant religion — particularly across northern and central Africa. At a recent crusade in a heavily Islamic region of Uganda, 60,000 people showed up and more than 2,000 gave their lives to Jesus Christ.
