The Light overcomes darkness
Tears when experiencing jesus - salvation
This precious woman came to the gospel campaign on the third night. She had tears come down her face as she heard the gospel message and what it means to repent and start to follow Jesus. The next day, she came back and after the gospel message that night, she decided to surrender to Jesus and give her heart to Him. It is the most beautiful miracle when a person lost in darkness gets pulled into the light through the power of salvation. May our hearts always be moved by the life-changing truth of Jesus still saving lives. He is still freeing the captives. He is still healing the brokenhearted. He is bringing salvation to the lost and hope to the hopeless. Now the greatest adventure of following Jesus awaits her.
FROM BLINDESS TO SIGHT
Simwamba came to the first night of the gospel campaign, traveling multiple hours. He heard there would be miracles and that was enough reason for him to make the journey. On stage, he shared how his family had a history of serious eye conditions. For him, the issue was that he could no longer see out of his left eye. After visiting the doctor, he was told he had a cataract blocking his vision. The doctors recommended a procedure to scrape it off, but Simwamba declined. He believed that God would heal him miraculously. When he heard about the gospel campaign, he said to himself, “That is where God will heal me.”
After we prayed for the sick in the name of Jesus, Simwamba opened his eye, and he could see. “I felt the power of God like electricity go through my body,” he shared. His sight was completely restored by Jesus.
The next day, Simwamba returned to testify again, full of joy and gratitude. He was able to correctly identify the number of fingers being held up, something that was impossible for him to do before. Jesus still opens eyes, and Simwamba is living proof. We heard later how Simwamba went around town telling people about how Jesus opened his blind eye. May we too, have the testimony of Jesus on our lips wherever we go. He is worthy of our praise and adoration. He is worthy to be made known to this world.
FROM LIMPING IN PAIN TO DANCING IN JOY
Margaret Imuni came to the third night of the gospel campaign. She was suffering from intense pain in both legs for the past nine months. She had to bend forward to walk because of the pain and showed us how she used to sway from side to side just to manage each step. Margaret shared that she sells vegetables for a living. One morning, while opening the doors of her vegetable shop, something pricked her right foot, causing severe pain. Ever since then, she had trouble walking and doing the work at her shop in that pain.
After the preaching of the gospel, we prayed for the sick in the name of Jesus. In that time Jesus touched Margaret with His power. She said, “I felt something in my legs. Something came out of my leg,” and immediately all the pain left. She was able to walk just like before the accident. For the first time in nine months, she was able to walk perfectly, without pain or limp.
Overwhelmed with joy, Margaret said, “I don’t even know what I can say to my God.” We asked her, “What would you say to God for what He did for you today?” With a big smile and hands lifted in the air, she answered, “My God, You are so wonderful.”

FROM HOPELESSNESS TO HEALED BY JESUS
Willard Kasungami, a 24-year-old young man, came to the first night of the gospel campaign. He shared that he was from out of town visiting family. While walking, he heard there was a gospel campaign happening and that miracles were taking place. He decided to come because he had a major issue in his left leg. His leg was in constant, severe pain and would shake uncontrollably, making it very difficult for him to go about daily life. Even sitting was hard because the shaking wouldn’t stop. His condition seemed more hopeless the longer it stayed.
Willard explained how it all began one morning when he felt a muscle strain in his left leg. What started as a simple strain soon turned into chronic pain. Not long after, uncontrollable shaking began. He visited the hospital many times, but the doctors didn’t know what to do. He went from hospital to hospital, trying different doctors, but none could provide a solution. They prescribed painkillers, yet the pain and shaking remained.
While praying in the name of Jesus at the gospel campaign, Willard said he felt electricity go through his entire body. Right after the prayer, he noticed something had changed. His leg, after six long months, was no longer shaking. Then he realized the pain was completely gone. He stood up, walked, and felt no more pain or trembling.
Overwhelmed with joy, he came on stage and danced giving praise to God. His smile was huge. He was so thankful for what Jesus had done in his life. Not only did Jesus heal an issue the doctors couldn’t fix, but Jesus also touched his heart.
FROM SPECTATOR TO BELIEVER - A MIRACLE THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING
A man named Hopkins Kabwe came to our embrace gospel campaign. He worked in one of the mines only 15 minutes away from the field where we shared the gospel. He said that one month ago, he was working his shift deep below the earth, and then he felt a sharp prick on his right cheek. It felt like a jab from something like a pin. He quickly rubbed his cheek to soothe the pain. Hopkins did not think much about it and carried on with his work. As he continued with his work, the pain didn’t lessen but it only grew worse.
When he got to the surface, his friend noticed that his right cheek had swelled enormously. The swelling extended from the bottom of his right eye to his lower jaw, the size of about 7 cm. He quickly rushed to the hospital so the doctor could examine him. The hospital gave him some anti-inflammatory medicine and some pain killers to help him cope with the pain. In spite of the treatment, the swelling did not decrease for the past month.
Hopkins heard of miracles happening at the gospel campaign. Even though he heard that people testified, he didn’t believe it was true. He said, “I thought the people organizing the program had arranged for some people to come up to the stage and claim that a miracle had happened to them.” That night, Hopkins came to the field not with expectation but with skepticism. He wanted to come see what was happening since he didn’t believe it was true. He said, “I came not seeking a miracle but as a spectator.”
After the gospel message, we prayed for those that were sick in the name of Jesus. God already had a plan to touch Hopkins that night and show him his great love for him. Hopkins shared that during the prayer, he felt something move in his cheek. Then he felt it move to his right eye. After that, the pain completely disappeared. Right after that, he noticed how all the swelling went away. He went home completely shocked by what Jesus did.
The next day he came to testify of the supernatural miracle. He shared, “Everyone that saw my swollen face is surprised. They’ve been asking, what happened. I am amazed.” He was fully healed by Jesus and not only that but he left as a believer. He shared, “I didn’t expect a miracle. I thank God for His mercies.”
A TOUCH OF GOD'S POWER
Bright Bwalya came to the second night of the gospel campaign. He shared how he was playing at school, and then he fell on his right hand. He shared that he hurt his wrist so much that he could no longer close his right hand. Because of this, he also couldn’t write anymore, and he couldn’t do the regular things he needed to do.
While praying in the name of Jesus, Bright said that he felt an electric shock go through his right hand. When it was time to test it, he said that he wiggled his hand to see if it was healed. He immediately noticed the pain was gone. He then made the fist sign, and then he knew he was fully healed. On the stage we celebrated this amazing miracle God did in Bright’s life.
HEALED OF NUMBNESS & SALVATION
Ruth Mwansa came to the second night of the gospel campaign. She had strong pain in both of her legs. She said the pain is terrible due to extreme numbness, and it even goes up to her waist. She said, “Even today, to come on this field, I had to push myself.”
After praying in the name of Jesus, Ruth was fully healed by Jesus. When she stood on the stage, her joy overflowed as she shared, “I am very happy. I am very happy.” It was Jesus who healed her. But the miracle of healing was not the best part of this night in her life.
Even more amazing than the miracle she experienced was that Ruth decided to give her life to Jesus that day. She made the life-changing decision to give her heart to Jesus. She was connected to a local church where she can grow in her faith, and she is now on her journey with Jesus. What a joy when hearts turn to Jesus and fall into the loving arms of God.

SALVATION & MIRACLE OF SIGHT
Peter, a 46 year old man, came to the first night of the gospel campaign. He was suffering from double vision. A condition where instead of one object he sees it twice. Because of his double vision, he could not read and struggled to perform other tasks. He also shared that two years ago, his back pain became so terrible that he had to slow down with work because the pain was no longer tolerable. This meant he and his family had less money, and it became very challenging for him and his family to live like that. When he saw a poster saying that there would be miracles at the gospel campaign, he decided to come and see where thousands of people gathered on the field to hear about Jesus.
After praying in the name of Jesus, Peter shared that he felt like a huge burden was lifted off his back and when he opened his eyes, he realized that he just received a miracle. His sight was no longer doubled. All of a sudden his sight was clear, and he saw perfectly. On top of that, his severe back pain disappeared. He stretched himself back and forth to see if he was in any pain when moving around. To his amazement, the pain was all gone. He was fully healed by Jesus.
On the stage, he shared how he felt the power of God go through his body, and how happy he was for the miracle. But even greater was a heart miracle. That night, after hearing the gospel, what repentance and a life of following Jesus means, Peter made the most important decision of his life. He made Jesus his Lord and Savior. As we tested his sight, he read from the new believers booklet that he received and everyone celebrated what God had done. A lost son was touched by Jesus and received salvation. Peter was also connected to a local church through our follow-up system. What a wonderful God we have.
