I would like to share with you a testimony of miraculous healing of a brother in Christ in South Sudan, who had been selected to be the elder for a newly planted church. While he was being mentored by brother Henry, who is one of our DTS graduates and ministry team members, Max was led to join brother Henry for an all night prayer meeting.
However, when he exited the prayer meeting in the morning, being tired as he was, he walked into the street and was struck by a car, after which he was found laying on the ground unconscious and bleeding with serious injuries. He was brought to the hospital, still unconscious, by our brother Henry on his motorcycle, which the Lord had recently provided for him.
Through the prayers of many around the world, including brother Henry, who was with him, the Lord miraculously healed brother Max. Here is the testimony:
I received the following email on January 23, 2026 from brother Henry:
"I greet you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
"Prayers are needed for our bro by the name Max, he is one of the committed members in the LTG groups, and I am training him to be one of the elders. Yesterday he came to me at night at around 10:00pm, and he told me the Spirit of God led him to join me in prayers, because the whole of this week I have been sleeping in the church for prayers and fasting. He joined me and he told me God wants us to pray for the body of Christ in South Sudan, that that's what God has put in his heart.
"We prayed with him over the night, and in the morning around 6:00am he left...only for me to get a call from someone with a new number, then the person asked me if I knew Max. Immediately I said, 'Yes,' and then he said should rush to a place called Jiada within Juba that he is in a critical condition. They got my telephone number from his ID for the church, because he was wearing it.
"When I reached the place, I got him when he is full of blood, and blood is still coming from his mouth and nose. His chin was broken, and some of his teeth were also broken. I began to call his name, but he couldn't talk, since he was unconscious. I prayed with him, and after I put him on my bike with someone helping me, and I rushed him to the hospital. Right now we are in the hospital.
"I believe God to give him another chance to live, so that he opens people's eyes to the true gospel of the Lord in the land of South Sudan. I have been engaging him a lot in the ministry to make sure by the grace of God, he can stand in season and out of season.
"Your servant,
Bro Henry."
He later explained further in a subsequent email:
"He was knocked by a speeding car. Thanks for your prayers.
"I have a great testimony from what you shared with us [recently]. [This situation] was really above me, because when I reached him at that place, I felt so weak; but by the grace of God I prayed a prayer and declared by faith that Max will not die, as the enemy has planned, but he will live. After the prayer, I looked at him, and it's like the prayer was not working and his life was going.
"I rushed him to the hospital, where they tried, but things were still not working. I remembered what you just shared with us, and [you had] told me to try it when am going to pray. I closed my eyes and from the depth of my heart, I was telling God, 'Let us feel your presence in this place, as a sign of your goodness and mercy.' As I was still closing my eyes, I heard a strong cough. I opened my eyes, and I saw that he was the one [who had coughed]. A lot of blood [suddenly] came from his mouth and nose, then he opened his eyes and called my name. I thank God the brother is alive, but they have recommended that we do some scans which I plan to go for tomorrow."
I later asked, "When you went to the accident site to pick up brother Max, was he conscious and did he have a pulse?"
"He was unconscious. He only said he last understood at the time of the accident, but from that moment he couldn't tell what took place. He came to his senses when he was in the hospital."
I asked, "When you prayed over him in the hospital, and you asked the Lord for his tangible presence as a sign of his mercy and goodness to you, and brother Max coughed up blood, had he been unconscious up until that point or was he conscious when you were praying over him?"
Henry replied, "He was still unconscious."
I asked, "Can you tell me more specifically what's wrong with his teeth?"
"Two came out. There are also others which entered the gum, that they needed to be pulled out. And then the wire they used to tie the jaws, putting it back in position is also causing much pain. {Besides that], he can't open his mouth well to talk, because the jaws still can't open up properly. I am praying as you advised me to pray, and I believe God for great improvement."
I asked, "Were some of the teeth knocked out completely? Were they broken but still partly there? Please give me more info."
He replied, "Others were knocked out completely, then others entered into the gum, and lastly others were loosened from their position."
I asked, "Besides his broken chin, what else does he need healing from?"
Henry replied, "His knee, and the teeth."
The Lord's Miraculous Healing
After several days in the hospital and several weeks of his jaw being wired shut, he finally got the wires removed. The Lord was continually healing him on a daily basis, and continues to do so. The picture of Max to the left was taken in April 2026 after he had already experienced significant healing.
Then on April 27, 2026, three months after the accident, brother Henry wrote: "I thank God for brother Max (the elder) for the great improvement, but let us pray for him. This week I went with him to Luk Lori, but on reaching he was again having a terrible back pain which was not there before. I prayed for him, and by the time we were coming back he was even able to sit on the motor cycle."
On May 5th, brother Henry wrote: "I thank God for the steady progress of healing for bro Max. From the time I prayed for him, he has been receiving healing on daily basis, he can now bend well without pain."
Closing Words
We give God all the glory for what He did in brother Max's life. Although his knees, back, and chin are now healed, and his jaw is no longer wired shut, his lower jaw still needs a miracle to be adjusted, so that it is aligned with his upper jaw. Plus there are still three damaged teeth that need to be healed. He also needs the Lord to increase the range of motion of his lower jaw, so that he can speak more clearly. This will come in time with physical therapy and prayer for him. Praise the Lord for the great things He has done for brother Max, and we trust in Him to finish what He has started. By His stripes, brother Max is healed.
Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus. Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?
“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15). He preached that we must repent and believe.
Please see my explanation of this in my post called "Do You Want to Know Jesus?"
