Tonga Revival 2014 (Zambia Outreach Oct 2014)




Zambia Outreach Oct 2014



The Zambia journey for me started back in 2009 when I met a now good friend Steyn. Steyn was part of a mission's organisation called Harvest for Christ. Two men were on the Zambia side, Albert Muleya and Oliver Matambo, and the on the South African side Steyn Marais. I met Steyn on a Christian camp one weekend and we learned a lot from his experiences. He invited us to go with him on these outreaches if we want, but I immediately denied his request in my head due to financial reasons.

Then in 2010 David Hogan visited us and we had an extremely radical time with the Lord. This conference actually changed everything for us as individuals and as a congregation. It was the last service of the conference when I finally gave in to the Lord's call to reach out to the nations. The moment I agreed things started falling into place. I was on fire for the Lord and couldn't see anything less than a massive revival hitting Zambia through our hands! When I got there I met Albert and Oliver and when they started praying, I thought I still needed to become born again! They were radical missionaries for Jesus. They were on fire!!

I learned a great deal from these men on my trips to the Gwembe valley in Zambia ever since. It is something I will cherish in my heart forever. However in 2011/2012 the Lord called Steyn into a whole new thing and he had to withdraw from Zambia. Everything collapsed for me and I thought my Zambia days were over. The Holy Spirit had other ideas for me and kept Albert and Oliver in my heart and every now and then said that I will go back.

Albert and Oliver have been best friends since their youth. Albert got born again first and Oliver very shortly after. They had such a passion for the Lord and for the world that they dedicated their whole lives to the Gospel. They, together with their wives, will walk many kilometres far to unknown villages just to preach the Gospel. Many times these villages reject them and chased them out of the village. They will then make a camp fire in the bush and worship the Lord there. They, with their wives, will sleep around the camp fire at night with nothing but a heart on fire for God. The villagers will become curious of what is going on and then approach them to see. This is when they will share the Gospel and before long plant a church there! This happened over great distances! They have hundreds of stories of how God came through for them. Many stories of hardships and perseverance, but God was and is always faithful!

Then in 2013 Albert phoned me and told me about a dream he had! He said the Lord showed him how I work with them and do outreaches in Zambia. He gave me an open invitation and asked me to pray about it. I replied that no prayer is necessary! The Lord already said yes! In January 2014 Steyn and I flew to Lusaka to meet with the guys from Zambia so that Steyn could greet them but also bless us for our work together. I felt this was very important because Zambia is so close to Steyn's heart. The Lord blessed it all! But the reality was that this was it. No more plans or anything! Just a word from the Lord, but no plan!

Later the year Albert phoned me again and told me the greatest news I could ask for! They discovered 600 villages that are totally unreached! They have never heard the Gospel of Jesus and I was invited to help them reach these people! I was ecstatic!!! I started praying and thought the School of Supernatural that we (Aflame Ministries) present will be a good channel to use and give the students this opportunity. The only thing was that the date had to be in school holiday. So the date was set for October 2014. 




We were a team of seven people that answered the call from the Lord for this outreach, of which four have never been on an outreach before. The best part for me was that they were all good friends of mine who could share in this that is so close to my heart.

The vision Albert has for these unreached villages are to plant a church in every village. Meaning we want to put up some sort of structure in 600 villages that the people can see, so that they will be reminded of what the Lord had done in their village. This sounded way too big for me, so I gladly stepped into unity with Albert on this vision! Cause in my mind it is not so possible and thus I am convinced that I will experience God in this all the way! So I am in 100%!

Before the outreach, as Albert and I spoke, he told me stories about the hunger these people have for Christ. Albert's team had trouble with the generator that they needed to show the Jesus Film. People have no reference what so ever about the Lord or the Gospel, so the film helps a great deal! I assume they couldn't find fuel for the generator. The people sat and waited patiently for them to start the service. Eventually three days later the fuel arrived only for them to discover the DVD player isn't working! Eventually at around midnight they got everything to work! So Albert announced to the still waiting crowd that they will show the film the following night due to time. The crowd refused!!! The screamed that "you told us about this Jesus, now show us! We will not leave!" So the film started at midnight and many people accepted Jesus after the film. This story blessed me tremendously to know the desperation people have for Truth! The Lord prepared this harvest and it is ready! These people are not disadvantaged by religion, all they know is tradition and witchcraft. That's all that stands between them and a Life of abundance!

So with the set dates, Albert arranged a conference where eight surrounding villages will get together for us to minister to them. Eight villages that have never heard the Gospel! Countless people! Eight possible churches! We had three days! 



So very early morning we left Pretoria in three vehicles and drove all the way to Kasane, Botswana. We had a beautiful sunset over the Chobe River and a special evening around the campfire underneath the African sky in the bush! The next day we relaxed at the lodge and went on a boat trip game drive. This is a must when in Kasane! I decided to do this firstly because most of us are usually very rushed before an outreach and secondly even though I knew the team well, they were all strangers to each other. I wanted everyone to know each other and to know why we are on this mission. What an amazing day just appreciating God's awesome creation!


 

The following morning we entered into Zambia and met with Albert in Choma. From here we departed to our campsite next to the amazing Lake Kariba at Kariba Bush Lodge near Maamba. It's a beautiful place! The journey however took much longer than expected and we travelled the whole day. We spend the evening fellowshipping with Albert and his team and prayed with them. The next three days was show time! From morning till evening we will do whatever we can to get these people saved and healed! 












After breakfast we drove the twenty odd kilometre gravel road to the church where we were to minister the next three days. We were met by a crowd of singing and dancing people welcoming us to their village. It was amazing to see the joy on their faces. Something like this always humbles me especially if I think of my western hospitality. There is just so much we can learn from each other!






Our first assignment was to walk from house to house and pray for the sick, and sharing the Gospel to whoever we meet. We split into two groups. The other group testified of many healings they witnessed as they prayed for the people. Our group saw three homes where we could share the Gospel and prayed for the people and bless their homes. The first house, on the first day, one of the team, Frits, (who is a businessman and farmer who were there more to support his wife than anything else), asked if he could share something after I spoke to the people. I don't know what it was but something happened when he opened his mouth. The Holy Spirit filled it with words! The people just stood in awe as they listened to his wisdom he was pouring out on them. His wife, Tanya, looked like a school girl who fell in love the very first time!  This is what I believe the "other" purpose of every outreach is; that husbands will love their wives more and the other way round and that the Love of Christ gets even more exposed through every team member where ever they go, especially at home!
 
Before the outreach I prayed together with a few friends for the outreach and the Lord showed Henk a vision of a lady. I recorded what he said on my phone and I played it to the team on the trip as well. We had to look for this lady and when we find her the Lord will heal her and then all heaven will break loose! We knew she was very ill and very thin because of malnutrition. We also knew the clothes she would wear and that she was a lady of influence. So we had a mission, find this lady and get her healed! The other team found her that morning as she was lying on her bed for the last ten years. Her name is Martha. She was more than just thin as she was not able to walk the last ten years. She tried everything she could to get healed. I think she lost all hope. The team reported that she had flies all over her as she just laid there waiting to die or finding some reason to live. The team prayed for her and a smile came to her face as she was able to sit up for the first time in years!

The arrangement I had with the team is that France and myself will do most of the preaching and that the team are part of the ministry team. So after the morning's excitement of ministering from house to house, we gathered in the church for the afternoon session. Without warning, Albert assigned Charmaine and Erna to minister to the women. This was their first outreach and Erna only recently became born again! Tanya and Frits were assigned to minister to the children and myself with France and Danie were to stay and minister to the rest. Tanya has this supernatural gift with children and she loves ministering to them. Only this time she had her best friend and husband right by her side! They had such fun ministering together and the anointing and blessing was just all over them! Charmaine and Erna rose to the challenge and shared their testimony with the ladies and then they prayed and laid hands on all of them. One woman who was very much into witchcraft manifested a demon right there. Erna, being shy and quite of nature, suddenly received a boldness from heaven and stood in her authority in Jesus and casted the devil out of the woman leading to deliverance and salvation! Also many got touched by the Holy Spirit and healed of their illnesses. This as far as I know was also the first time Charmaine preached. She did so well that throughout all the conference the ladies kept talking about her preaching. One lady even gave her a live chicken! Now a chicken to these people is wealth, it is their livestock! Unfortunately it was unpractical to travel with a chicken so we had to give it back. With the other people I laid the foundation for the rest of the conference by sharing the Gospel and our identity in Christ. We also had opportunity to pray with the people. But the blessing was to witness the level of boldness that the team stepped up. They even took on witches when they casted out devils! They went full out!

That evening we had an open air crusade. I asked France to share the evening service. France just went all out and shared the heart of Jesus for his people. Many, I believe more than hundred, became born again! One guy, who almost couldn't walk because of TB, started dancing when the Lord healed him! It was just such a special day and I believe a very solid foundation for the rest of the conference. I knew something else had to break as witchcraft was still very visible in the area. All of creation there, the trees, animals, everything had this dark glow to it. It was very clearly the witchcraft displaying its power there. But the moment, Jesus gets glorified in a place they have no power what so ever! Nevertheless the team, especially the first timers, were very happy and joyful for what the Lord had done!

The following morning I had one mission and that was to find Martha, the lady I mentioned earlier who can't walk for ten years now. Frits, Tanya and Danie went into a school to minister there. Many teachers became born again and attended the rest of the conference! When we came to Martha she was sitting up straight but still very weak and very thin! The village were gathered all around us worshipping God. Charmaine is a qualified person in the medical world and she made me feel Martha's knees. Martha had no knees! It was only crumbs. Her legs and bone structure nearly destroyed after ten years of lying down. She suffered from osteoporoses. There were also no muscles to support her body. So I asked that some people pray for new bones, others for muscle and others for healing and so on. Then as I felt her knees, instantly God created two brand new knees for her! In my hands, crumbs turned into bone! Her upper leg muscles also visibly started growing. As I saw this I flipped! Charmaine helped Martha with a few basic stretch exercises and then we helped Martha up. Then, for the first time in ten years she was walking! Her one son was close by and he just burst out in tears. The people went mad as they worshipped God! Erna and Charmaine took a short walk with Marta and then she started dancing for the Lord almost two hours straight! Martha had another son who is the goal keeper for the Zambian soccer team, and that's where her influence come from that we saw in the vision prior the trip. Think about this; Jesus knows Martha and He loves her so much that he told a guy in Pretoria about her and a whole team of people went out looking for her because Jesus wanted to touch her personally! After ten years lying on your bed not being able to do anything, in one moment with Jesus, you get up and walk and dance! For the first time in years she was able to take a bucket and walk the distance to fetch water for her family. For the first time in years she was able to prepare her family a meal. Jesus turned her life right side up within minutes! 


After the miracle happened with Martha another lady got carried in. She was also of old age and unable to walk for many years. Again we prayed with the lady and the village participated. After Charmaine did her stretching exercise, the lady got up and walked! Again Erna and Charmaine took her for a walk, but after a while she left the two young girls and started running! People were freaking out for Jesus!!! Now two ladies who couldn't walk a few minutes before were dancing for Jesus together! A third lady who also couldn't walk got carried in! She also had a broken wrist which effected many other parts of the body with illness. We prayed over a cloth and wrapped her wrist in it and gave her an invite to come to the crusade that evening. Then we prayed for her to get up and the third lady in minutes got up and walked! Unfortunately this lady we didn't see at the crusade again to take the cloth of her wrist, but we saw her again the following day and she was walking perfectly with a bucket of water!

For the afternoon session I asked France to share to the leaders and get an outpouring of the Holy Spirit! Tomorrow we will be gone, but the Holy Spirit will never leave them nor forsake them! People need God way more than they need us! France took the stage and preached his heart out. I got called outside by one of the pastors while France was preaching. They asked me to go and pray for a young man that suffers from fits or something. This was just a hundred meter or so away from the church. To be really honest, this kind of annoyed me for I wanted to support France and then after the service we will pray for all who needs it. But never the less I went and prayed for the guy with my stinking attitude! Our God is just so much greater than we can ever imagine and absolutely nothing can scare Him off! He just ignored my attitude and healed the guy right there and then! Then the sick just came from everywhere and everyone wanted prayer! Luckily a team member or two followed me and we prayed for them. The sequence of events is a bit blurry as it all happened very fast. The one lady testified later that there was another guy lying on the floor and I told him to get up and walk, and he did!!! She was so amazed at this and how easy miracles were happening that she took her three year old boy of her back. This boy has NEVER walked in his life before! I remember I saw the lady taking off her boy she was carrying on her back. His right arm was paralytic. So I got on my knees and called the boy to me. As he ran towards me I just hugged him and prayed for his arm, not knowing that this boy has never walked in his life before! Jesus healed his arm and legs! Then there was also a blind guy and we prayed for him. His vision started coming back, so we prayed some more and it improved. I think we prayed about four times for him and then he had complete sight in his eyes again! People were worshipping and praising God like nothing before!



I decided it was time to get back to the service where France was busy preaching. The Holy Spirit was at work there! Many received the Holy Spirit that service and they also prayed in tongues and were on the floor worshipping Jesus with eyes full of tears. We also did many deliverance's on people there. The Kingdom of Light just manifested there and it sends out a message to all that it is here to stay! It was an extremely Powerful service! The expression on people's faces had to be seen in order to get some sort of an idea what was happening in the Spirit there.

The evening crusade I took the stage. The spiritual realm was beyond chaotic! There was just no peace at all! Many times when I preach and I don't know what the Lord wants to do, I do not panic because every time He came through and gave me His message in the worship or so. However this time He gave me nothing! I was standing with the mic already and still had nothing! So I decided to call out words of knowledge rather! So I called out a few people who struggled with certain illnesses and asked them to stand. Now, feeling very bold still from this amazing day we had, I said that they will be healed before the service is over. I will call them later on and then we will see that it is God that heals and not us. In the spirit though, I felt like I was being attacked from all sides! One of the team members later on confirmed this as she saw dark figures throwing me with balls of fire from all directions. The crowd sensed the restlessness and one lady came to front towards me. She was screaming, but it was not her. It was a demon screaming at me! Still overflowing with confidence from the days' miracles, I took the mic and screamed back at her! I roared like a lion! :D  The second I opened my mouth and roared, I realised that this will not work at all. This demon likes the stage and wants to put up a show for all to see. Some of the team must have sensed this and they came and took the lady one side away from the spotlight and did a very easy deliverance on her. I explained to the crowd what happened and shared Jesus with them, hoping God will give me a message for them as I speak. Nothing came! I just shared stories and prayed in my spirit. At one stage I told the team in Afrikaans that they must get ready. I am just waiting for the shift in the Spirit to come and then we will pray for the people. 






Two ladies were also standing in front of me. I think one was deaf and the other blind, but I cannot remember! I prayed for them and the Lord healed them n front of the crowd, but still there was no peace. This chaos continued for what felt like hours! Then as I shared about the Holy Spirit the shift came! I explained to the pastors and people what a fire tunnel is. It is when we (pastors) stand opposite each other and form a tunnel. Now the people walk through this tunnel and we lay hands on them for whatever it is they trust the Lord with. It can be healing, deliverance, impartation, breakthrough or anything! The people walked through and it started off quite peacefully I must say. Usually the Holy Spirit just "whacks" the people and manifestations are very common with these fire tunnels. We do not strive for manifestation. We pray by faith, not by sight! The reason I want Holy Spirit manifestation is because when people see, they believe and they are encouraged and their faith is much higher. Faith pleases God! The manifestation is not the proof of anything but it simply stirs the faith!

And then it happened, a lady carrying a baby on the back came through. France and I were the last in the tunnel. Then just before she got to us she just took off the ground and came flying through the air taking France with her through a speaker standing close by. Luckily no one got hurt! I got scared! I am used to crazy manifestations and I have seen quite a few of them, but women flying through the air with babies on their back? This is a first! I really thought we will need to raise the dead after this! Then as the people came through and then the pastors, everything just exploded! I said to Albert that I am not guilty of this! He just laughed! It then got to a stage where many people were just flying through the air all over as the Holy Spirit moved literally through them. I saw something similar in a DVD once about the Chinese church with Todd Bently where the Lord literally walked through the crowd. People just collapsed! I had to switch on my lamp to see what was busy happening. Groups of people getting smacked to the ground all at once! It looked like they were fighting! But on closer inspection all were laughing from their bellies and nobody got hurt at all!

I stood still at one stage just observing what God is busy doing (and wondering if it really is Him!), Albert came flying past me and he grabbed my arm. The moment he touch me I can only describe as that moment your favourite sports team scores the winning points in a world cup final; that instant overwhelming joy where everything in you instantly react without you first evaluating the situation. This times a million more joy is what I felt when he touched me! Then I knew that this was beyond any doubt the Lord Himself. Could this have been a taste of the joy we will experience constantly when we are in heaven? I just rejoiced and worshipped Him! I think we as western civilisation are scared of what we do not know or understand or cannot control. And I believe God doesn't want to give us these things because He wants to be in control and He wants us to trust and follow Him. It is scary, but I believe this is what God wants! He wants us to step down from our own false thrones and sit with Him on His throne based on righteousness and justice. He uses the foolish/simple things in life to shame the wise. I had to make a conscious decision there that no matter what my level of comfort or understanding is, I will not interfere with God's plans but rather partner with Him in whatever He wants to do! 


 





We only went home after midnight that day, tired but full of excitement, thankfulness, Peace and joy for what had happened. The following morning we headed back to church and started with street ministry again. As we walked to a house we saw a lady lying on bed also not able to walk for many years. She also had osteoporosis. God again created new knees and muscles and she got up and walked! Two more stood up and walked that morning! They were all dancing! Many other got healed from pain in their bodies and sicknesses. We also did deliverance on few people setting them free in Jesus name from bondage. Next door there was another guy who had asthma. He was quite old. God healed his asthma as we prayed! He also had pain in his groin and God healed it. As we were rejoicing, I noticed the cataract on his eyes. When we prayed he received strike three for the morning as it disappeared from his eyes and his vision was restored!

We had a short rest from the forty degree plus sun and enjoyed lunch and a short nap. Then the afternoon session started. France and Tanya ministered to the children that afternoon and did many deliverances on the children who were bound by traditional spirits and generational curses. They also prayed for all the kids to be filled with the Holy Spirit! Although we had a very successful trip so far, the earth was still bound by witchcraft. That darkness I explained in the beginning was still clearly visible. I had something very specific I felt the Lord wanted to accomplish here today. I started the session by just confirming our sonship in Christ and the position He has restored us too. This is fundamental to just about every aspect of our Faith. I felt that I wanted to take them as leaders into the courtrooms of heaven (Psalm 82, Zechariah 3 and many more) to represent their villages before the Lord. I believe the judgement of God brings freedom. God judges through the Cross and looks at us as a new creation. In other words, everything that is not you (depression, aggression, fear, condemnation whatever!)  gets taken away from you so that the real you can be free! That's why we need to die in ourselves!

But before I could do this I wanted to take them into the Spirit first and make sure they are connected with the Holy Spirit. Revelation 22 speaks about a river of Life that flows from the thrown of God. As I took them to that river, the Spirit got poured out on all of them! I couldn't preach! The Holy Spirit took over and people were on their knees weeping in front of the Lord. They drank from the river and got drunk with the Great Holy Spirit. It was easy to see that these people had a very real and very deep encounter with a living God that day! This went on for about half an hour as they were praying, weeping and worshipping all the way! When the Lord finished I could continue! (I LOVE it when God interferes!!!) Albert then helped me to explain the court rooms to them. This was a new concept for them but it's pretty simple and straight forward so everyone got it! We were all in unity and ready for what we had to do! Revival will start with us as the church when we get our acts together. With the church I mean us the people! Revival starts with us, not the world! All of creation is in eager anticipation for the revealing of the sons!

After we all went in for ourselves, we went to the courtrooms together. The devil is the accuser, Jesus is our Advocate, Father is our Judge and Holy Spirit helps us speak. This is the basic! We prayed and asked Father what the accuser has against us. The devil came and he accused the villages of idolatry and witchcraft. We then repented on behalf of the villages for being guilty of these crimes. Now Father, please judge us! We then waited for Jesus to handle the case for us and for Father to give His judgement. I said that the Lord will show one of the main leaders a picture or something n what His decision is. The one pastor then came forward and said He saw Father handing us a clean sheet! We celebrated big time! I do not know the full meaning of this but what I do believe is that witchcraft and idolatry is completely destroyed in at least these eight villages! When we exited the service that dark glance of death that covered everything was gone! Light was shining everywhere!!! It was a physical sign that what we prayed for happened and was very real! Jesus makes all things new!

That evening we had the Jesus Film set up and showed it to the people. It is always a blessing to see the people of the bush facial expressions as they relive the story as they see it. Some cheer, others cry, sometimes they even warn Jesus or curse the Pharisees and roman soldiers when the take Jesus!  As Jesus got lifted on the cross, we paused the film and France started preaching. When he finished we wanted to pray for the sick. People were bundled up to await their prayer. As the leaders stepped forward, the people flew to the ground! The Holy Spirit took of where He stopped the previous night! People fell to the ground in groups as the Lord moved through them. We were not even touching the people at first. The moment we get in a meters range of them, they flew to the ground! Again, nobody got hurt, but many got healed, delivered and set free! 



Then my attention was drawn to a different kind of scream. This was demonic and I saw two pastors already praying for the lady. I felt in my heart to go there. I stopped it all and the demon through the lady pointed at another lady and screamed in perfect English that she is hers or something. I asked the other lady what is the name of this person manifesting and she said her name and that she was her cousin who is involved with satanism. That was it. I asked her to leave. I then called the lady who was manifesting by name and commanded the manifestation to stop. It immediately did. I spoke to her normally then telling her that she knew exactly what was going on and that the demons are mad at her. The only One that can help her is Jesus. She must choose. She chose Jesus! She prayed after me a short prayer of repentance and became born again. I think the prayer was maybe 5 minutes and she was saved, delivered and filled with the Holy Spirit! I encountered 6 more similar instances after her that night which proofed to me the courtrooms of the afternoon was successful!!! The darkness lost ground and they had to come and attempt to win their ground back. As the witches, sangomas, satanists and who ever came in to bring destruction, Jesus won them for His Kingdom!

It was just such a Powerful atmosphere. As we prayed for the people the presence of God became thicker and thicker. I think we experienced part of what the disciples in Acts experienced on the day of Pentecost. The disciples were drunk they confessed, but not drunk with alcohol, meaning one can get drunk in the Spirit! I at one stage got so drunk that I looked like a student on a Friday night. I almost couldn't stand on my feet! The difference is drunkenness in the flesh leads to death, drunkenness in the Spirit leads to Life! And the fruit from all that was there! People experienced deep deep intimacy with their Father! Holy Holy Holy! After we all prayed for each other we called people to testify. Many testified how the Lord changed their lives including Martha! Then this lady who was in satanism and we prayed for her earlier on came to bring her testimony. Now these things are real, whether you want to believe it or not. I don't understand many things, but I cannot limit reality and Truth to my small understanding! This is what the lady testified: She is involved with satanism for many years now and obtained many powers over the years. She physically lives in the Indian Ocean and came from there to this meeting. She will turn herself into a snake and put curses on people, killing at will. She said she killed more than a thousand people. She will put curses on buses and then the people will die in an accident or stuff like that. She challenges all the other people present there that is involved with the occult, to repent and give their lives to Jesus!!! Now the little that I know about these things through my experience working with them, I know that you do not say these kinds of things over a microphone if you are not free! They will kill you! It is just so amazing to me! A brand new born again lady straight from satanism onto the pulpit preaching the Gospel to hundreds of people! 

All this so much reminded me on how we need to leave our plans and ideas and just follow Jesus! The harvest is so ready! I think we must not only pray for the labourers to get more, but also that the few labourers that we are, that we will totally submit to Holy Spirit and labour at the right places where He wants us! That we will be more effective in what we do! This will be our most effective "game plan" as the body of Christ! Jesus is going to save the world. It is still Jesus. It always was Jesus and it will always be Jesus. Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess His Lordship. To say Jesus is King, means that we do not have the right to control!

The following day unfortunately we had to greet all the people and we took the long road back home. We slept in Livingstone one night as one of the vehicles lost its air-conditioning. Erna, Charmaine and France never saw the Vic Falls before so I went with them as the others looked at the car. It was amazing to see France's face as he saw God in this and was in total awe of God's goodness and creation. The following evening we slept at place close to Nata called Elephant Sands. Amazing place! Just before we reached there we got stopped by police at a permanent check point for meat products. We were guilty and forgot some of the meat! So we lost some meat, BUT we were able to minister to all the police on duty there that day! The Lord touched them with His amazing love and also healed those who were sick! Then at Nata the elephants came within few meters from us! Herds and herds of elephant that came to drink. It was just such an awesome way to end an amazing outreach together! This outreach was filled with many personal challenges for all of us, but it was amazing to see how each one of us grew in the Lord. 





 


 


This outreach was the biggest revival I have witnessed to date! In our three days of ministry we planted four churches and at least three sangomas with their families accepted Christ, which will influence their entire village! Countless people got healed, saved and filled with the Holy Spirit! We received invites from the main witchdoctors that are appointed over many villages to go back there and minister to them and have crusades there! This was the beginning of something new! Even as we left, the number of churches, the number of villages and the number of sangomas that got saved and multiplied. The work is just self expanding as the Holy Spirit is doing the work! The future is in God's hands and He can do and change as He pleases, but for now we are encouraged and focussed to reach all of these 600 villages and to plant some sort of physical structure there for generations to come! We will start a base camp where we will equip the people with everything we have and from base camp, they will go out and evangelise from village to village. Evangelism, discipleship, church planting, church building, farming Gods way are all terms and ideas that we have to reach these villages and establish the Kingdom of heaven there for generations to come!
