Publisher's Synopsis
SECRETS OF THE END-TIME HARVEST This is the true story of a pastor from a small church in rural Maine who was suddenly sent around the world to preach to large crowds of people, some numbering over 100,000. He speaks from the wealth of experience he gained by preaching the Gospel face to face to millions on five continents. In this book Mark Swiger shares the many insights, adventures and secrets he learned about ministry to the multitudes. The book begins with both Mark and his wife Paulette being declared persona non grata by the government of India and forcibly deported. It then covers the exciting and miraculous events that led to that incident. He reveals the inner struggles he faced in transitioning from an unknown to standing before multitudes. Not only are his personal challenges revealed, he also shares the secrets he learned to have a successful and effective ministry to the masses.
The reader will learn how large city-wide events are organized. The author delves into the financial and fundraising aspects of the work. The perils and pitfalls to avoid in the ministry of mass evangelism are exposed. Mark makes an excellent case that in order to fully declare the Gospel of Jesus Christ miracles must be present. He shares faith building examples from the "thousands of miracles" he has witnessed. In a style that is easy to understand but theologically sound, he shares the secrets he learned to have the power that moves masses to the salvation that is found in Jesus Christ. He reveals the kinds of demonic attacks that those serving in the front lines of mass evangelism endure and how to overcome them. The book contains many grayscale photographs from the author's actual meetings showing crowd shots, pictures of some who received miracles and other items of interest. This book provides rare insights into a realm that few have lived. The ministry of mass evangelism is familiar to many people as observers or critics, but few have walked behind the scenes to understand this calling. Only someone with the experience of Mark Swiger could write a balanced book about mass evangelism. He is one of only a handful in the world that has qualified to attempt it. Rev. Mark Swiger has been ordained to Gospel ministry for over thirty years. In a ten-year period he completed more city-wide campaigns in India than any other international evangelist. (52) He has seen over 500,000 Hindus and Moslems come to Christ and thousands healed by the power of God. Millions more were impacted by his television program that was broadcast in Asia called "Healing for You Today." Mark is a graduate of Pinecrest Bible Training Center and has a Bachelors degree in Pastoral Studies from Calvary Christian International. For his outstanding contribution to the field of evangelism he has been awarded an Honorary Doctorate from Summit Bible College. He and his wife Paulette, a gifted Bible Teacher, have three grown children and presently reside in the State of Georgia. Those who will benefit from reading this book are: all sincere and committed Christians, pastors, Bible teachers, evangelists, seminary students, missionaries, and the sick and afflicted.
