The REFICE 2001 Crusade (Interafrican meeting of Evangelisation et de formation Interafrician pour la croissance de l'eglise - REFICE 2001 avec le Dr. David Yonggi Cho) was held at F.H.B. (Felix Houphouet Boignx) Stadium in Abidjan, the capital of Cote d'Ivoire (24th∼26th, August), under the
sponsorship of DCEM(David Cho Evangelistic Mission) and
under the management of FECI (Federation Evangelique de
Cote d'Ivoire). Approximately 100,000 people attended
the crusade and hundreds of people accepted Jesus Christ
as their personal Saviour.

On the first day of the crusade, President Laurent Gbagbo and first lady attended the crusade and were warmly welcomed. They prayed for the political and social stability of Cote d'Ivoire with all those at the crusade.

During the crusade, the stadium was already filled with a great crowd four hours before the meeting began. Furthermore, about 100 from other cities sat in and stayed at the stadium before the crusade began.

Dr. David Cho preached, "The only way to be free from diseases, curses, and death is to believe Jesus Christ who was crucified to save us." He "If you accept Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour and believe in Him, you will be free from all kinds of suffering and sadness and receive hope and joy in your life." Dr.Cho testified about the blessings of God he has experienced in his life. All the people praised God for his testimony and prayed that they can experience God's blessings and testify like Dr. Cho.
