This evening about 3000people came forward to the platform to indicate that they had accepted Jesus Christ, or their intention to rededicate their lives to the service of the Lord. yy^xander 5 Haraszti Missziói beszámoló kubai utamról (Folytatás a 9. oldalról) Rev. Bermudez elnöke az Evangéliumi miniszterek és pásztorok Interdenominációs Confratemitásának. Ezek a pásztorok az evangéliumi keresztyének nagy többségét képviselik. Azt szeretnék, ha Billy Graham Havanában és Santiago de Cubaban prédikálna. Válaszomban megígértem, hogy a meghívást továbbítani fogom. Úgy tűnik, hogy ennpk a látogatásnak még sok akadálya van. Imádkozzunk, hogy Isten elkészítse az időket és alkalmakat. Legközelebb februárra hívtak újabb látogatásra.
