ONE Stories from Africa
ETHIOPIA
"When I ministered one day, four women came with
their sick children. I pray for the sick children and they are healed
and the mothers are saved. These women then gave their house for
cell group use. When I preach in this house, there is a medium in
next house to them. In the name of Jesus, I pray for the evil spirit
to come out... it did and person got saved. Thank you, my Lord.
I thank you [Mission ONE] for your financial support,
because it helps me to preach the gospel without problem. And please
pray for me and I pray for you."
"I met this sick man and brother by the roadside
crying out for help. I tell him about the Lord and, if he want,
I would like to pray for his sickness. He said, Yes. Not moving
him, I prayed and demons came out of him and he was healed. A lot
of people were wondering what was happening to the sick man, and
about 10 people at the place heard the gospel and went home. The
sick man and his brother accepted the Lord.
I give them two new Bibles and told them to attend church in their
home place. They told me that they will share this work of God to
their friends and relatives at home in Gonder. Their names are Gezachaw
ad Mola."
KENYA
"A spiritual growth is happening in our church. We see that
the believers have good response to the Word of God. We have now
ten local church elders. I have seen a witch doctor give her life
to Christ along with her husband. I have preached in Tanzania, and
I praise God for giving me chance to preach to other nations and
different languages. Thank you and God bless your families."
"There was a fire disaster at my home. My house
was reduced to ashes, everything was burnt on March 12th of this
year [2000]. I was away for the Sunday Service some five kilometers
from home when unknown person torched my house. Neighbors were unable
to put off the fire, which consumed everything, including my animals,
which were inside, my clothes, food stuffs and my bike.
Your Christmas card plus your photo were also consumed. I am wishing
you can send me another photo. I've been praying for Mission ONE
and the Church in America. Please be praying for me that God may
help me build another house."
"The women in my parish decided to use the little
money they had and bought 10 chairs and 10 stools and give them
to the Church for God's glory. When men saw what the women did,
they buy 2 tables and a pulpit and give them to the Church for the
glory of God."
SUDAN
"In August, the Government noticed a wonderful
change in the lives of the orphans. We have been able to collect
them from the streets, and the Government gave us a free ranch of
42,000 square meters [about 10.4 acres] to be used as an extension
to our orphanage. I do thank you for your love gifts and your prayers."
