The city of Jos is preparing for a powerful spiritual awakening as Take the Nations Ministry, in partnership with the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), hosts the “Just Jesus Crusade” from December 17th to 21st. At a press conference held at the crusade grounds, church leaders, international evangelists, and media partners gathered to announce what promises to be a transformative week for the Plateau.
Rev. Dr. Dunka,CAN Chairman for Plateau State and Chairman of the Planning Committee, reminded attendees of the region’s rich spiritual history. “Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke, of blessed memory, ministered here on two occasions, and each time there was a massive harvest of souls,” he shared. “Take the Nations is coming in that same spirit.”
The ministry, founded by Evangelist Daniel du Toit a protégé of the late Evangelist Bonnke has already demonstrated its impact across Nigeria through kingdom-focused, cross-denominational crusades that emphasize unity in the Body of Christ.
The five-day event features multiple components designed to impact every segment of the Christian community:
Main Crusade Services
Tens of thousands are expected to gather for nightly meetings featuring the preaching of the Gospel, accompanied by signs, wonders, and miracles. The crusade emphasizes salvation, healing, deliverance, and being filled with the Holy Spirit.
Ministers Conference
A special gathering for pastors and church leaders across all denominations to receive spiritual impartation and practical ministry training.
Women conference
A dedicated conference for women across Plateau State to be empowered and encouraged in their faith.
The advance team from Take the Nations includes key leaders from around the world:
- Evangelist Brandon- International Crusade Director
Evangelist Grant – Assistant Crusade Director
Evangelist Nathan – Take the Nations Nigeria Representative
Evangelist Elmarie – Cape Town, South Africa
Pastor Nick – Cape Town, South Africa
Evangelist Norman – Zambia Director
Evangelist Conrad – Uganda Director
Representatives from the USA and other nations
Evangelist Brandon, addressing the media, emphasized the ministry’s commitment to working with local churches. “We have a saying back home in South Africa: ‘Mend the nets so the catch can be great.’ This crusade will strengthen unity in the Body of Christ so we can bring in the great harvest of souls.”
One of the crusade’s distinguishing features is its emphasis on collaboration. “This is not something that has to do with a particular denomination it’s a kingdom movement,” Rev. Dr. Dunka explained. The harvest of new believers will be distributed among partnering churches across the Plateau, promoting church growth and breaking down denominational barriers.
Organizers want the public to know that safety is a top priority. Rev. Dr. Duncan expressed gratitude for the peaceful atmosphere in Plateau State under Governor Caleb Mutfwang’s leadership, noting the recent success of the three-day Plateau Unity Christmas Carol and Praise Festival, which concluded without incident.
Transportation will be provided from strategic points throughout Jos to help people attend the crusade.
“If you are finding yourself in a difficult place, if you are feeling hopeless, there is hope,” Evangelist Brandon declared. “Come to the crusade. Don’t give up. Bring your family, bring your friends, and come and receive your miracle.”
The message from church leaders is clear: this is not just another religious event, but an opportunity for personal transformation, citywide revival, and lasting impact on the spiritual landscape of Plateau State.
The crusade will kick off with a Jesus March through the streets of Jos, where participants will proclaim the name of Jesus and declare that Jos belongs to Jesus a visible demonstration of faith and unity before the main crusade events begin.
As the press conference concluded, it was clear that Plateau State stands on the brink of something extraordinary. With believers mobilized, leaders united, and international evangelists arriving with expectation, Jos is preparing for a transformative encounter one that will leave an imprint on the spiritual landscape for years to come.
