This book is about the explosive growth of the Church in Nigeria and Ghana as a result of the powerful meetings in 1953 and 1954. Miracles that seem unbelievable were a twice a day occurrence as the Risen Christ ministered to a very needy people. Blind eyes were opened, deaf ears unstopped, cripples walked, Leprosy vanished in the blink of the eye. Multiplied thousands were converted and filled with the Holy Spirit including many kings. The meetings became the headlines of the newspapers because of so many provable healings and miracles. But this book isn't just about the wonderful things because you can sense at times the loneliness, the monotony, the immense problems these men faced in traveling and living in mud huts with a mosquito net in such hot and cold weather. Through it all the Lord Jesus Christ is uplifted and you realize the He is the one who did the work in spite of it all. This book is a factual account taken from the daily journal of its author and not based on memory. The Introduction is by Charles Green, founder of the Word of Faith Church in New Orleans, LA. He and Barbara, his wife, have been lifelong friends of the Cannons.
