MY CHURCH PRAYED My greetings to you! I would like to share with you a testimony of a Believer in our village Church. His name is Isaac. He fell very ill with fever recently and visited the nearby clinic and hospital and gave his blood for testing. He was led by the Holy Spirit to fast and pray regarding this matter and as a Church we went to him and prayed together and as soon as we finished he felt the fever leave him. The next day, the hospital called to tell him that his blood test showed he had dengue fever and should be admitted immediately. He told them that he was healed, but they insisted that he take another test. Isaac went again for a blood test, but this time it did not show any trace of dengue. I glorify the Lord for His amazing healing towards this brother and may the glory to God for His love.

DRUNK HEALED During one of my field visits, I visited a family whose father was a violent drunk. After several visits and prayer, he and his entire family believed in the truth and he has now turned to God and has been set free from his addiction.

In the neighbouring village there was a rowdy person who always disturbed the peace. He however was touched with the love that we showed him and is now a reformed man. I praise God for the way in which He shows His love through us to those who do not follow the truth. I give God the glory for the power of prayer and faith.

FAMILY SAVED FROM WITCHCRAFT All glory to God Almighty! In one of the villages that I visit, there is a family that came to know the love of our Lord. The entire village was shocked to see the transformation in this family because they had been under a severe curse through witchcraft, and had spent several thousands by going to witch doctors for relief. The mother of the family had spent a whole year in a particular place of worship as a penance for her family, but that did not set them free. Today the family have come to know God’s complete and free love and have been delivered from the witchcraft that had kept them bound for so long. This event has affected me deeply and I am so grateful that the Lord used me as His instrument in delivering this family.

GOD’S GIFT The Lord performed a mighty miracle in our fellowship. A dear sister, Vim, could not conceive and she in fact contracted a dreadful disease. But through this disease the Lord gave her a chance to know and trust in Him. She began to grow in the Lord and the Lord healed her completely and gave her a child. We celebrated his birthday recently. She stands as a witness for the Lord’s good ness in her life. She testifies that the Lord saw her tears and graciously granted her request. Glory be to God!

MENTAL HEALTH RELIEF Last month, two people came to our fellowship. They were extremely affected by mental health issues, but they trusted God and came to Him for help. We prayed for them sincerely and the Lord gave them deliverance from their condition. Please pray for us that the Lord would continue to show His mighty hand. We praise God that there is nothing He cannot do for us when we come to Him in prayer. There are times when the healing does not come, but we continue to go to Him in prayer requesting His mercies.

SEWI’S STORY It has been a great blessing to me and many of my fellow workers who have been given the privilege of visiting several rural areas. In one of the villages in my area, there is a woman named Sewi, she is about 45 years old. She had severe problems in the womb and the doctors found it cancerous, stage 4 cancer. She and her family were heart broken. She has 2 adult daughters and a son.  We comforted her, prayed for her, and our Church started to pray for her in earnest. A few days later, when the doctors took the MRI scan, they were amazed to find there was not a single cancerous image. Just 2 months ago they said she would die in a few months, but the Lord brought about a mighty miracle in her life. Truly the Lord had mercy and gave her healing. It is a wonderful testimony in our Church and the faith of many has grown. We praise God for His power. Many thanks to Camp Divya for the blessing that you are to us.

SEIZURES Recently in my village, there was a brother who suffered from seizures, the Lord gave me grace to pray for him. I was terribly burdened by his disease, but my companions and I prayed for him together for his deliverance. It took a while, but he was set free in the end. We continue to pray for good health for him and freedom in Christ’s resurrection power for his entire family. 

MOTHER & DAUGHTER I was praying for many people in my villages and several people came forward for prayer. There was a Mother who also came, she was very sorrowful. She told us about her married daughter who was unable to conceive because of a tumour. She had been to several doctors and spent a lot of money on this condition, but it did not help. We kept praying for this Mother and her daughter, that the Lord would not only heal, but that they would find peace in our Lord. Several days later, the daughter mentioned that she had no pain. She went to the local hospital and took a scan which showed that all was normal. Both the Mother and the daughter gave glory to the Lord for His healing hand on her. The whole family came to know the love of the Lord because of her healing, and they are now a testimony for the entire village. The Lord has also given her a son! I praise God for His greatness! (Note: In some Asian countries, it is a great shame when a woman is barren. She is looked down on by her family and community. )

SAVED FROM SUICIDE   Because of a crushing debt owed to loan sharks, a family decided to commit suicide. At such a time however, the Lord gave us a chance to meet them and counsel them through His Word. The family were consoled and decided not to carry out their plan. I continue to fast and pray for them, and they come regularly for fellowship. Please pray for this family and may their lives give glory to God.   (Note: In certain areas, farmers in particular are deeply affected by long standing debt and suicide in such cases unfortunately has occurred)
