Week #7
All leading to our 40th anniversary celebration in October, each week RCCM will feature a Historical Picture of the Week. This week's photo is from November, 2003. It shows Pastor Stephen Galvano ministering at an SGWW crusade in Mombasa, Kenya.

Pastor Galvano has always had a heart for the nations. In fact, he started his worldwide travels for the sake of the Kingdom of God in 1979 (for a complete list, visit the RCCM Timeline). In the years since 1979, Stephen Galvano has traveled and ministered in 26 nations. In addition, through the RCCM Worldwide Alliance and the World Ministry Conference, Stephen Galvano and RCCM have made a lasting impact on many more nations on every continent. In the year 2000, during Stephen Galvano's largest international trip up until that time, in Zambia, Africa, a powerful and unforgettable prophetic word came forth that "Stephen Galvano would travel worldwide and bring light in areas that have not seen it". On that day the ministry "Stephen Galvano Worldwide" was born. Since 2000, he has traveled to 10 nations where he has held open-air crusades attracting as many as 50,000 people in vastly unevangelized nations such as Pakistan, the United Arab Emirates, and Zimbabwe.

These international trips have proven to be overwhelmingly powerful experiences, not only for the nations that are touched, but for the teams that go. So much so, that films are made documenting the power of the trips. SGWW crusades venture to go where others do not and touch the forgotten and hopeless with the love of Christ. The film based on the experience depicted above, Kenya: The Documentary Film, has garnered national attention. It has played on TV as well as in film festivals all around the country. The film earned the prestigious Accolade Award for Viewer Impact: Motivational / Inspirational in 2008. To see the film in its entirety on RCCM.org, click here.
