Yesterday, Sunday 6th January, we were going for a Mission to one of our branch churches in
the hills as we had planned. The Pastor of this church had organized a conference which he wanted us to conclude with an open air evangelistic meeting Sunday evening.We therefore mobilized all the ministers, leaders and singers and got our equipment and hired a truck ready for the mission.
But as we were climbing one of the hills, the truck got problems and failed to climb the hill and before we could realize, the truck lost control and begun to reverse, the driver tried all he could to stop it but it was too late! We begun to call on the name of Jesus, for we knew we were in the mercies of the Lord. As we called on the name of Jesus, instead of the truck strolling down the hill, it suddenly hit the road side and overturned. Thank God it did not roll over the steep hill, we would have all perished!
We all crawled out unhurt! thanking God and praising Jesus for his deliverance!A few people had minor injuries and were rushed to hospital for treatment, and they are now very well.
After the accident, we abandoned the truck and carried our equipment with help from well wishers and walked to our destination which was now in a distance of around 5 km. We reached very tired but happy that God was with us and we were doing the will of God.
We taught the word of God in the church and the brethren were encouraged in the Lord and
after that,went to the crusade ground, where hundreds of people were waiting to hear the gospel.We preached Christ and more than 30 people gave their lives to Jesus ad several were healed of different diseases and bondages from the devil. Most people in these areas are bound by witchcraft and ancestral spirits, but when we prayed many were set free. There was revival in the village.
Well wishers organized for us another truck afterwards which picked us up late in the evening and we reached home safely and gave the glory to God.We thank God for the prayers of the saints, that cover us with protection.
Please pray for us, we need our own truck and a missions bus that will help us on such mission trips, because with our own truck, we ensure that it is in good condition before we go for any trip for the safety of our lives.
May the good Lord bless you.
