UGANDAN pastor Robert Kayanja says the Benny Hinn Healing Crusade, scheduled for October 10-12 at the Miracle Grounds, in Harare, is likely to leave an enduring legacy in this country.
He said more than 500,000 people attended a similar crusade when it was held in Uganda and its legacy is still being felt.
‘‘The nation cannot remain the same,’’ Pastor Kayanja said.
“I don’t think we’ve ever had a moment like this in history.
“This is not only just for spiritual nourishment but this is going to help bring the country together.
“We saw it in Uganda. People from all walks of life, people from different political persuasions, they all came together and the country was united.”
He said the crusade, because of its sheer size, also has a positive impact on the local economy.
“It builds the economy because even just the activities alone, we had more than 2,000 food vendors.
“From the President to the peasants, people came, to show their belief in God, to express love for their loved ones, for their family, their country.
“So, such a crusade, especially Pastor Benny Hinn’s crusade, brings out quite a lot of things.
“It attracts people, we had over 68 nations in our country.
“Some of them, we only discovered they were there after the crusade had ended because they had come and simply embedded themselves with the public.’’
