\"MoreEven in the darkest of times, one can find reasons to rejoice.<\/p>\n

The Christian Index<\/a> reported Thursday that nearly 1,400 people committed their lives to Christ during a four-day crusade in Mississippi<\/a> led by evangelist Rick Gage.<\/p>\n

The event, which took place over the course of four days, was attended by some 17,000 people.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the closing night, approximately 10,000 individuals packed into the Brandon Amphitheater near Jackson, even catching the eye of Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis isn\u2019t a photo from a concert or a party,\u201d the Republican wrote on X.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is from a revival event that happened a few nights ago right here in Mississippi,\u201d he continued. \u201cGod is working here, and He has truly blessed us!\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Gage<\/a>, head of GO TELL Ministries in Duluth, Georgia, 1,354 people made salvation decisions during the event.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe kids are on fire,\u201d he said following the crusade, according to the Index, an outlet covering Georgia Baptists.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe saw an incredible move of God throughout this whole campaign,\u201d Gage said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnyone who says evangelistic outreach events don\u2019t work anymore just needs to talk to the folks in central Mississippi.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gage attributed the success of the crusade to the collaboration of church leaders in the Jackson area, explaining that churches from different denominations joined forces to organize and promote the event.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey also had a prayer<\/a> team bathing this crusade in prayer for months and months,\u201d he said. \u201cThey had people in private prayer room praying throughout the crusade.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the run-up to the event, Gage also visited Mississippi prisons and schools, successfully leading many inmates and students toward Christ.<\/p>\n

It is not the first successful crusade he has led.<\/p>\n

Gage, a former college football coach who has been touted<\/a> as a \u201csmall-town Billy Graham,\u201d attracted a similar-size audience during a four-day event last mast month in Baxley, Georgia.<\/p>\n

About 10,000 are said to have attended, 1,600 of whom made commitments to Christ, the Index reported.<\/p>\n
