MADABANI CRUSADE - DAY 3 & 4

Page 1

DEAR FRIEND MADABANI Gospel Crusade, South Africa, DAY 3: We are deep in the bush here. Witchcraft is rampant with a “village of witches” just a few kilometres from the crusade ground. What an area in which to preach the Gospel! I feel like we are rattling the gates of hell, demanding the souls of those Jesus died to save. Tonight, I preached two messages. First, a salvation message on Luke 15, breaking down the stories of the lost sheep, coin and son. The response was glorious with many pouring forward to become children of God. Then, I preached on the Holy Spirit, starting to build layer upon layer, preparing the hearts of the people for Sunday night when we will pray for the Holy Spirit baptism. The testimonies we heard were numerous and powerful. Steven was in an accident in 1980 and injured his legs badly, breaking one of them. He never fully recovered. “I couldn’t enjoy life,” he explained. “It took me a long time to walk even short distances. I was in constant pain.” During prayer, the Holy Spirit touched him mightily. Now, Steven is a new man. His legs are fully functional and pain-free. Hallelujah! Gloria had suffered from chest tightness since 1989. She had difficulty breathing and relied on a medicated spray. “During prayer, I felt something pushing up from the inside of me and then suddenly, I could breathe easily. I am free. My life has completely changed. I thank God for this crusade!”


Marandela is an 85-year-old grandmother of twelve. Tonight, she received the Lord as Saviour. “I loved the part of the sermon when the evangelist spoke about me being valued by God like a lost coin,� she shared. Jesus did not only save her tonight but healed her as well. For more than twenty years, Marandela had suffered from intense hip pains that would shoot down her one leg. During prayer, those pains disappeared completely, leaving this dear lady bubbling for joy. Two more services lie ahead of us. What a weekend it is going to be!

Together with you, Africa is being saved!





DEAR FRIEND MADABANI Gospel Crusade, South Africa, DAY 4: Heaven is touching earth in this place. There are no other words that better describe what is happening here! The testimonies that followed the preaching of the Gospel and prayer for the sick were phenomenal. Mukhethwa is a 26-yearold mother of two. Since 2015, a sharp pain in her left side had been her constant torment. “It felt like a knife twisting,” she explained. “My life was so challenging because of it. I even had trouble breathing. The doctors could not tell me what was wrong.” During prayer, this precious young woman explained how she felt the pain move from her side to her throat, a choking sensation overwhelming her. Then, suddenly, it vanished. “I am free! The pain is gone! I can breathe easily!” Mukhethwa also accepted Jesus as her Saviour. I had preached from Luke 18 on the arrogant Pharisee versus the repentant tax collector. “My life has totally changed!” she expressed, bursting with joy. Another lady, Beauty also received the Lord as Saviour. “I heard about the things that are happening in this place so I decided to come,” she said. “I have been in three car accidents over the past 25 years. I have had multiple operations and struggled with pains in my body, limited movement and dizziness. Tonight, I felt like something was taken out of me. I vomited and now, the dizziness is gone, my body feels perfectly normal. What I have found at this crusade is a rare and precious thing. God has done a miracle in my life!” An elderly woman, Flora had been involved in a single car accident seven years ago that resulted in her one leg being so swollen and painful from hip to toe that she could not walk without a crutch.


Tonight, she tossed that crutch aside and shared with great joy her newfound liberty. The crowd celebrated with her. Dear friend, we have one more service to go. This little Africa village community is being shaken by the power of God and your prayers and support are working wonders. Hallelujah!

Together with you, Africa is being saved!
