Ezekiel 11:19 And I will give them singleness of
heart and put a new spirit within them. I will take away their hearts of
stone and give them tender hearts instead.
Matadi means a rocky place. Actually it is set and built on rocky
hills. Figuratively, hearts were also very rocky.
As the Gospel of Jesus Christ clearly went forth each night we began to
see hearts change. It’s the goodness of God that leads to repentance. A
young man belonging to ‘Dibundu Dia Kongo’ a sect that believes in
Tahonda ‘The Black God,’ had fallen off a truck and been injured. The
Lord restored him and he was able to walk without pain. Each night
almost everyone present raised their hands in surrender to Jesus. It was
amazing to see a large number young people call on the name of Jesus.
One prostitute came forward and testified how she had now decided to
follow Jesus.
Pastors and leaders from 31 churches filled the venue at Cité
Bethel Church ready with notepad and pens. They were so hungry and
receptive for the Word of God. The Word found a home in many hearts,
renewing minds and bringing revelation. I am sure there will be much
fruit borne in the weeks and months ahead. God’s word does not return
void.
One night on the way out of the stadium a man on crutches hobbled
towards the car. There were hundreds pressing around me as I got out of
the car to pray for him. I prayed in the name of Jesus be healed and
jumped back in the car. Three days later he came and testified to his
healing. Jesus is the miracle worker and signs and wonders follow those
who believe.
Straight after the closing service our team packed down and left for
Boma where preparations are in full swing for the crusade next month.
Thank you for your prayers and partnership with us.
Our love in Christ
Roger & Shireen West and the whole RFM team
