Today our group shared the gospel with nearly 100 people, and not one person received the message, calling on the name of the Lord. We know seeds were planted and God will watch over them to accomplish his purpose in their lives.
But the highlight of the day was a man named Betsi who the Holy Spirit prompted last night to repent from his backsliding and recommit his life to Jesus Christ. Then today, God sovereignly prompted a friend of his to invite him to come to his house to hear from us as we brought the message of the gospel. Betsi was so blessed to be encouraged in his faith and to have the gospel message confirmed.
There are many variations of the gospel and even false gospels that are brought, and they were hugely blessed to hear us declaring the gospel as presented in the Bible.
Betsi told us that all of his children had gotten a rare form of malaria that is very devastating. When his kids got sick, the witch doctor came and pronounced a curse – saying that “these boys have been sold, one for 8000 Birr, the other for 12,000 Birr, and that they would surely die.” It is unknown who “bought” them, but that was the message the witch doctor and the false prophet brought.
So he asked for prayer for the two sickest boys. We laid hands on the boys and declared healing. We are trusting God to cause them to recover, and prove the which doctor in profit to be false, and lose respect in the community.
