Daily Observer comments the PTL crusade in Liberia.

When I as a reporter visited the site at the stadium, a large group of people were seen virtually invading the stage where Swedish preacher Tommy Lilja was positioned. Some of them fell to the ground, while others fainted as Pastor Lilja shouted the name Jesus. The scene was a true manifestation of what considered as a physical healing process.

On Sunday, the crowd peaked and Pastor Tommy explained the exchange taking place on the cross. How Jesus became both a shame, rejected and punished to be able to lift the burdens of us. He addressed all those among the attendants being raped, abandoned, abused and violated. But went on asking if there could be any forgiveness for the violators? And shoved how Jesus called and restored Paul, a man with a burning desire to kill Christians. If there were forgiveness for Paul, he claimed, there is then also forgiveness for you, whatever you have done. A large crowd responded on the last night altar call; to be forgiven and cleansed by the blood of Jesus.
