Men and women, old and young, some mothers with little babies, swaying and dancing under a blazing sun, with sweat pouring from their bodies. How pathetic ! They will dance into a state of exhaus– tion. Much drinking and sin accompanies these dances. ' 'We are daily more convinced that Africa stands on the brink of tragic disaster - and that nothing but the Gospel of J esus Christ can help her. We plead with Christians back home to pray for this Campaign - that God may use the work of PTL to get the Gospel to the millions·of unreached Africans in time!''
