Several soldiers who serve with South Sudan People’s Defence Forces, gave their lives to Christ and others experienced supernatural healing during a 3-day gospel crusade at Zain Grounds Gudele in Juba.

The crusade was spearheaded by Evangelist Bernie Moore of Bernie Moore Ministries International, Inc. together with the pastors of Juba from 15-17 October, 2021. The crusade gathered one of the largest crowds ever witnessed in the city’s history, according to sources.

They were mainly from Gudele, Munuki, Mauna among other areas.

“God is raising up warriors,” Evangelist Bernie Moore said in an update, after the crusade.

The security officials included a disabled man, who was able to walk effortlessly after prayer.


Speaking during the first day of the crusade, Juba Monitor quotes Evangelist Bernie Moore as having encouraged the attendants to open up to Jesus Christ without fear.

“Do not allow the crowd to stop you from praying to God, ask Him for anything and do not fear, let the crowd not make you to shy-away from presenting your problems to Jesus,” Evangelist Bernie was quoted as saying.

Elsewhere, in a statement, Evangelist Bernie Moore explained that, “when I gave the call for salvation, it appeared to me every hand on the field shot up like a rocket!”

He added: “The Lord poured out salvation like a mighty wave and then healings, as well as deliverance, began to supernaturally take place all over the field.” 

It should be noted that the ground used for the crusade was the very ground that just several years ago was covered in blood due to the civil war. 

“The hunger that these precious people have is absolutely compelling and yet very humbling at the same time. To experience this is Heavenly,” he said. 

“Seeing people surrender their lives to Christ never ever gets old.  What the Lord did tonight simply left all of us in complete awe. Heaven kissed earth,” he added. 


It is the ministry’s passion to conduct open-air crusades in Africa and other continents so that no matter what one’s religious background, all will feel welcomed to hear a message on the saving power of the Gospel.

Bernie’s ministry, according to reports, has seen over 1,000,000 people come to know Jesus Christ as their Savior, thousands receive miracles, several new church plants abroad as well as existing churches triple and quadruple in size after the Gospel crusades.   

“I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that he considered me faithful, appointing me to his service. Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief. The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus,” Evangelist Bernie’s bio reads.

Adding: “Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on Him and receive eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.” (1 Timothy 1:12-17) Set ablaze by the love of the Holy Spirit!”
