DEAR FRIEND MADABANI Gospel Crusade, South Africa, DAY 1: We are off to a fantastic start here in the village of Madabani. Our team has been travailing over the past weeks not only promoting the crusade but evangelising on the streets and in the schools. Already, thousands have been saved. Tonight, this wave of salvation continued. I preached on the blood of Jesus being sin-destroying, heart-healing and life-fixing, according to Isaiah 61. The response was glorious and young and old asked the Lord with ardent sincerity to apply that precious blood to their souls. Their details were collected by our ushers and each will be followed up by a local pastor. Prayer for those who came ill or in need of deliverance yielded spectacular results. In these rural village communities, the attendance is more manageable, allowing us to lay on hands when praying. The demonic manifestations were many, precious people being set free left, right and centre. What testimonies were heard. A grandmother named Soffy shared how three years ago, she had suffered a stroke. Her face became twisted as a result, her one eye no longer able to see, her mouth able to speak only with extreme difficulty. Her entire body was in pain and any movement was horribly challenging. “My body was dead,� she voiced.
Tonight, the Lord worked wonders! Not only did Soffy accept Jesus as Saviour but she also received her healing. How she danced and bobbed about on stage, absolutely elated. Hallelujah! Another elderly lady, Alidzuli was likewise ecstatic, her short-sightedness being replaced by perfect vision and her burning chest vanishing beneath an onslaught of Holy Spirit power. Heartfelt thanks for your prayers, dear friend. Madabani is coming face to face with the Almighty Lord!
Together with you, Africa is being saved!
DEAR FRIEND MADABANI Gospel Crusade, South Africa, DAY 2: The Lord is at work here and we are rejoicing! I preached on the Samaritan woman and the response to the altar call for people to receive the “gift of God” as so described in that story was eager and heartfelt. This is the miracle that surpasses them all, souls being catapulted from darkness to light! Prayer for the sick was a chaotic affair. Demons skedaddled and sicknesses vacated at the declaration of His matchless name. The mother of the chief of Sinthumule, one of the neighbouring villages, experienced a mighty miracle. Since 1985, she has been unable to bend without severe pain. She relied on a domestic worker to help with the grandchildren because of how terribly the pain limited her activities. Tonight, three decades of suffering came to an end. “After prayer, when the evangelist asked us to test our bodies, I realised that God had healed me completely,” she shared, jubilant (see pic). “I feel so great, I am so grateful!” A gentleman named Isau received Jesus as Saviour. For the past year, tuberculosis has attacked his body. During prayer, all symptoms disappeared. “I am so happy!” he said. “And now, I have Jesus in my life. I am going to stop drinking. My life is going to change.” Hallelujah! A weekend of meetings still lies ahead of us. Thank you very much for your faithful prayer support. Madabani is being forever changed!
