Popoff's visit was scheduled as part of his current U.S. tour, where he is visiting several cities where his followers have requested an appearance and where he is holding outreach congregations. He has been on the road since June, visiting three cities per month while spending the off-time at home in southern California.
At his outreach congregation in Boston, he preached the message of hope, faith, deliverance from failure, and healing through the Word of God and the gospel of Jesus Christ. Peter Popoff is especially known for his powerful message of healing, that God controls the body through the mind, and that those with strong enough faith can heal afflictions and disease through intense faith in God.
Many in the congregation, who are suffering from physical ailments, were comforted in Popoff's explanation that the very same God who created their bodies also had the means of fixing those very same bodies, when healing became necessary.
Thousands turned out to hear the words of Rev. Popoff, who has built a tremendous following during his over forty years in the ministry here in the United States. Peter Popoff, however, is no stranger to large crowds -- his record large audience was in Odessa, Russia, where he ministered to over 30,000 people!
Many are unaware that Rev. Popoff is himself an immigrant. It was during his early years, suffering at the hand of a brutal dictatorship in East Germany as a child, that he began to understand the suffering that many who proclaim faith in God and in Jesus Christ will come to bear.
Popoff and his family were persecuted for their religious faith. These early experiences instilled in him an unstoppable, burning desire to bring the message of God's love and hope to millions of people.
The Popoff family was fortunate to immigrate to the United States in 1950. Peter Popoff entered into the ministry as a young adult, and finally, in the early eighties, he begain his television ministry, Peter Popoff Ministries, and also founded People United for Christ, which also publishes his books, including the popular, "You Can Defeat Satan and Laugh All The Way to the Bank," among others.
