Jim Wilson has carried his message to 28 countries of the world; more than 4 million listeners; nearly 700,000 public "inquiries" for Christ; and 800 schools. This faith ministry that is conducted in underdeveloped countries has a three-fold strategy -- Evangelistic Festivals, Medical Clinics and Training schools for native leaders and pastors.
Hundreds come forward to publicly accept Jesus Christ as Savior.
J.W.E.A. must pay all costs in these developing countries .... sound, equipment, lights, entrepreneurs, publicity, materials, etc. One organized festival can cost as much as $20,000. But, unbelievably, it will oly cost $2.12 for one person overseas to hear the gospel of Christ. Every person that makes an inquiry will be enrolled in a follow-up class for Bible study and spiritua; growth paid for by this faith ministry.
We concluded a project in Haiti in January, 2008 where we preached to about 58,230 people. We gave 2,000 Creole Bibles to the Haitian people. We also had a team of nurses and volunteers who ran a free medical clinic to the needy people in the villages. They treated over 1,400 patients. To God be the glory. We had 153 leaders attend the School of Evangelism, preached to over 4,700 people and almost 900 of those in attendance made decisions for Christ.

Medical Clinics that offer help to the needy people in the villages we visit are conducted by a team of volunteer medical workers, doctors, dentists, ophthalmologists, therapists and helpers. With each mission project, more than 1000 pounds of medicines are carefully distributed. On average, more than 1,200 people are treated in a week with a cost of about $8 per person.
In the Spring of 2007, we traveled to Northeast India where our team conducted a School of Evangelism and daily crusade festivals. We saw thousands come to accept Jesus as Savior and Lord. We were able to get into the schools and talk openly to the children. We trained leaders of that nation to share the gospel with their people. There were over 58,000 in attendance at the nightly crusade meetings. We also had a team of two American nurses who worked in a hospital along side Indian doctors to minister to the heart, as well as the body. We went again in 2008 and are preparing for another needy area in N.E. India in 2009.

The "School of Evangelism" is training for pastors and leaders. Most of these men and women have never had any formal training. We provide that for them. One person in an underdeveloped country can be trained, including lodging, food and materials, for a cost of $30.
