Nasimodya, the Gospel is preached!

Here is a testimony of my man (Felito) who took a team of our graduated Bible School students and a team from US on an outreach in Mozambique. We serve such an awesome, awesome God! Nothing is impossible!!

Stuart and Cathy Greer's team from Laguna (USA) and our Bible school students formed a vary good team.

We left Pemba Monday afternoon traveled 3 hours north to a village called Nasimodya, the people of the village were so hungry and so open because the Holy Spirit made them curious, and they so wanted to hear what we had to say to them. It was surprisingly cold that night but the people stayed watched the Jesus film to the end stayed and Listen to Eric preaching a Salvation message. He preached his heart out and the villagers responded to the Gospel with joy then I spoke on healing and challenging them to come by faith to receive from the Lord. Many sick people came forward for prayer.


There are 2 remarkable ones - the first is a man who was blind and deaf and the person who leads him happed to come watch the film and when we started praying for the sick and healings taking place he run got the blind and deaf man and brought him and asked for him to be prayed for, so the team people prayed for him and the Lord open the ears and the eyes of the man and the man who was deaf and blind testified of his healing and the villagers we so encouraged and faith rose up and more healings took place. Another man who was blind began to see, praise to the Lord Jesus!!

The next day we traveled to another Village near Minyawene where I saw many miracles the last time I did outreach. This village was even more open than the other one, you know when the Holy Spirit does the preparation there is favor every where. The Chief when I talked to him he said I myself will be there to hear the word of God, He says so, wearing a Moslem hat, we were there early and Stuart did his balloon thing, and the children were loving it - children who never saw a Balloon before, it was very significant for them, it reminds me when I was growing up it was during the war in Mozambique, I was in Maputo the capital city of Mozambique and in those days to have a balloon in your hands was very significant to us, very special, one balloon will be shared to 3 or four friends, this may not make sense to you, but when I was a child it was possible to share one balloon to 3-4 people when in need, so anyway that brought great joy to the village.
When we played our worship music the whole village danced with joy, and it was just amazing. After showing the film another Cathy preached about the (amor de Deus) love of God and as she was speaking the Holy Spirit was moving in the peoples hearts, then I made the alter call and people received Jesus with joy in their hearts, (that I say because you could see the smiles on their faces)
I shared a testimony of the crawling man who Jesus healed , the man came to one of the out reach there were many people there about thousands and the man heard the massage from Mark 9 when Jesus said everything is possible to him who believes, and a question was asked, do you believe? And the man who crawled began to cry out saying I believe that I can walk again!!! He was in tears and so desperate for his healing, looked at him and said walk in Jesus name!!! the man walked Jesus healed the man!!! Praise Jesus!!!

As I was sharing this testimony, a lady came and interrupted my preaching and she said I have somebody seek in my house, its my daughter and her baby, so the guy who translated for me told me what the lady just said, so I continued to preach for I didn't want to loose the crowd, but as I was preaching I thought to myself when I am done preaching I will go with the team and pray for the sick, but before I finished preaching the grand mum went home and carried the sick lady who was in so much pain, who couldn't stand or walk for long time, she carried her on her back and tied her with something we call capulana (similar to a sulu or wrap-around-skirt) and brought the lady to us. She put the lady in front of me and she said she is in so much pain as you can tell, so I was with someone from the team and I said lets pray for her and as soon as we finished praying for her, I told her to stand up and she stood on her feet and the people were so amazed by that then I said to her, walk to that corner she started to walk and turn and came back to where I was and the whole village saw this and they were all clapping, and that made faith rise up even for more to come receive their healings, and we prayed for more and the Lord healed them, Glory to God.,…

He told us to go and “this shall fallow those who believe.” Its time church!!! Its time that the Lord is restoring the church to walk in the fullness of the Kingdom, in a way that He is bringing back what the enemy has stolen, for long time the church didn't experience healings they were so few ,so we take hold of what Jesus did for us on the Cross.
