healing reports. Missiologists report that during the evangelism crusades of Jacques Giraud in Côte d’Ivoire in March 1973, disabled people discarded crutches and blind people claimed sight. Giraud had not witnessed many healings before this time but found that in this setting, as he preached Christ, supernatural things happened. Various denominations welcomed his ministry around the country, and some government officials were healed (for example, one whose leg had been paralyzed). As a result, even government officials organized more meetings, and entire villages were converted.
