| Yambio
2002 |
Yambio is home to the Zandi people who demonstrated their hunger to hear
the Word of God by walking up to 12 hours just to be in the meetings.
Faith and trust were extremely high as multitudes of sick arrived day
after day carried on mats and on specially converted bicycles with seats
draped in cushions and blankets. The blind people were led by young
children. Sickness and suffering that just breaks your heart to see that
moves one with compassion. They had come not for sympathy but for
healing and where there is no doctor the Great Physician healed them.
The Gospel is truly a matchless message. The Gospel is truly good news.
The Gospel brings hope to the hopeless, but an un-preached Gospel is no
Gospel at all. I proclaimed the Gospel as simply and clearly as I
possibly could, and the LORD confirmed the preached word. On the first
night the entire congregation of 6000 plus raised their hands in
surrender to Jesus and we estimate that approximately 10,000 people
accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior. There were just too many to
individually lay hands on people. One man was far outside the tent
unable to get in for prayer. During the mass prayer for the sick the
power of God surged through his paralysed legs. He jumped up and was
able to walk! Later we found out he was a relative of one of the crusade
planning committee who confirmed that he had been sick and unable to
walk for a whole year. Now he was walking around and riding the bicycle
that once carried him! The healing power of God literally exploded! It
was like the book of Acts, it was like Jesus was present doing what he
did in bible days! And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of
infirmity eighteen years, and was bent over and could in no way raise
herself up. But when Jesus saw her, He called her to Him and said to
her, "Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity." One old lady as I was
finishing the message about Jesus being the same yesterday today and
forever walked down the aisle her body bent over and her head pointing
in the 3 o’clock position. Every eye was on her, but the presence of God
was so strong in the tent. I simply said, “Jesus Christ heals you.” She
instantly stood up straight walked up and down without pain and went
back to her seat. It was a miracle from God before our very eyes. To God
be the glory, Jesus is still the same, The Gospel still has miracle
working power.
