Africa Trip 2005 - Part 2

Testimonies from Africa, part 2

During the evenings of some of the days, we went on outreaches to different villages. Sometimes we would enter the villages at night, in one or two flatbed trucks, with about 35 people crammed in each one. Some of the local Christians would play a drum and sing songs, while children would gather around dancing.

While this was taking place, others would set up the sound system, lights, and screen for a showing of the Jesus film. This was followed by a message presenting the gospel, a call for salvation, and praying for the sick. Many healings took place as we prayed for the village people, and many received Jesus into their lives!

A friend from my church had the opportunity to pray for a blind man in an outreach to a Muslim village, and the man began to see shapes! I got to pray for a lot of people with head pain and respiratory problems...they were healed by God!

Testimonies from Africa, part 1

When we first arrived in Mozambique, we participated in an outdoor pastors’ conference, consisting of several thousand people in a giant tent. The first night we ministered, a woman with a tumor in her lower left stomach got healed! It was confirmed by a doctor first that it was there, then the speaker named Todd Bentley prayed for her and she was healed! Another person with deafness in their left ear received healing from God and could hear again! There was a woman who was crippled in one leg, and she got strength and healing in that leg! We also prayed for a blind man and he began to see colors!!

The aisles were literally packed with people wanting prayer and those who wanted to see the healings up close. When asked who wanted to receive Jesus into their lives, many raised their hands that day! Praise the Lord!!
