This is not the first time Howard-Browne has promoted revival in Africa. For decades he’s been preaching prosperity on the continent, boasting of converts that have come in the tens of thousands and sometimes in hundreds of thousands. For example, in May of 2005 near Durban, South Africa, his ministry claimed that more than 286,000 people gave their lives to Jesus. They even keep a soul-counter on their website. One would think that with such a large portion of the city coming to Christ the society would have been transformed.
