“Equally I felt it was a wonderful experience and really liberating last weekend. Time Out missions was exactly what i and the church needed. You know sometimes you are so busy with ‘doing life’, that you forget what its like to just ‘exhale’! I didn’t realise how bound up I was till I danced!
I truly thank you, Ben & Sam for sharing your gifting with us.”
The following testimonies are a selection taken from recent mission trips and listed here for your encouragement.
Brother Mike, I met you and listened to you speaking the last day in the Bishops/Pastors Conferrence at Bungoma And believe me or not I knew this is what we, or in particular I, needed to hear. I feel my brother there is an awakenning voice to the sleeping soldiers in the Body of Christ, there is a call for harvest once again even when it seems there is little fire burning towards this divine business, I felt like we are bound to be on duty, I find what Uriah felt is to be our mind now, ”[As long as my Master Joab, the Ark and Israel are out in tents, i will not go to my house to enjoy with my family]”. Brother Mike YOU ARE ON YOUR RIGHT PATH AS YOU STEP YOUR FOOT ON THIS CONTINENT. I believe it is not 0nly I who hear this but I believe since you last went back to the UK you have read numerous testimonies and let God confirm to you his purpose.
Your visit and ministry and fellowship was a great blessngs to us as a family and the body of Christ here in the western part of Kenya. The Lord is going to use you greatly and you will be a banner liffted high for the nations to glorify our Lord Jesus Christ. Special regards to your committed family particularly to Ben who is such great joy to us.
Brother surely we still need you, because your teachings have made many of us to know more about how to serve our God. The word you share with us from the book of Matthew 20:24-27. I personally was so much blessed, and what I received from your teaching has made our church to come up. We need you brother Mike, brother Howard, My son Ben and many other spiritual men and women of God.
“Greetings in Jesus name. My name is Adhi Lakshmi; I have attended the meeting that was held at Bhimavarem by Pastor B. Samuel John on the 3rd Nov’08. The team from England has been a great blessing to me. I was married for many years and yet we had no children. But when I came to you for the prayer I was believing for a miracle and kept on praying a Child, Doctors said I would not be able to conceive because of my ill health but despite of what Doctors said I hang on to the ministered word and God have rewarded my faith, today doctors have conformed that I have conceived. Praise God. Please keep praying for me.”
“Greetings in Jesus name. My name is Anila. I have done my M.Sc and I was searching for a Job for couple of years now and I was really desperate to get a job, but when I attended the meeting that was held at Bhimavarem by Pastor B. Samuel John on the 3rd Nov’08 some one from the team from England without knowing my hearts desire have prophesied saying that I will be getting what I am seeking and the very next morning while I was praying I had a feeling that the prophecy is going to come to pass and so I started to confess what was said over me and even before I could finish my prayer I got a call from a school asking me to attend for an interview the following day, which I did and Praise God I am selected. Please continue to pray for me.”
“Greetings in Jesus name. My name is Hepsiba I attended the meeting that was held at Bhimavarem by Pastor B. Samuel John on the 3rd Nov’08. My mother name is Rahelamma she is having a Tumor in her stomach, Doctors said it would be dangerous if it not removed immediately but due to lack finances we could not go ahead with the operation but when I believed the word that was preached and that Jesus can heal any one of their diseases, I came to the team to be prayed over on my mothers behalf and when I went back home she is really suffering from the pain in the stomach and so we have to rush to the Hospital in Hyderabad and the doctors operated her and have taken the tumor off and it did not cost me a penny as it seems some one have paid on my behalf, it is a very big amount and I can’t even imagine in my dreams that we would get our mother operated by paying such huge amount of money. But God my Jehovah Jeer have supplied all my needs. Glory be to God. ”
“Greetings in Jesus name. My name is Rani. I am from a place called Undi (Pastor Joseph’s Place Where we had our food). After the team had finished their lunch I came along to be prayed over and one of the team members said that the Lord is my refuge and strength and I did not understand why they said like that because every thing is alright with me until two days after you left India. I wash clothes on a bank of a river everyday and as I was doing so on that particular day my son slipped into the water from the bank in trying to catch him I also fell in the water neither me nor my son new how to swim I am seeing my son drowning in the water and realized that both us would be dieing in the next few minutes and that’s when I remembered the word that was spoken that God is my refuge and strength and claimed it and asked him for help and all of a sudden rather than going into the water I began heading to the bank just as if some one is literally taking hold of me and putting me on the bank and on my way I was also able to caught hold of my son and today both of us are alive and safe. Glory to God. Amen. He is in deed our refuge and strength.”
