Angel Helps Man to Board Airplane Without Ticket

Brother Henry, who is one of our graduates in South Sudan, as well as our National Facilitator there, shared the following testimony with Len in January:

"In 2021, I was invited to preach in a state called Yambio, which is in the western equatorial part of South Sudan. It's a bit far from Juba, so the team that wanted me to go there sent the money for booking the flight to their friend in Juba to book it for me. He communicated the dates and time, but yet he used the money, and didn't book at all. The time came, I went to the airport, and the following day the conference and crusade was arranged. When I reached there ready to travel, my name was not in the list of those traveling. I was confused. I wanted to leave immediately, but in my spirit I said, 'No, let me wait.' 

People started boarding, and after they had all entered the plane, a man came and greeted me. He asked if I was pastor Henry. I said, 'Yes.' I asked for his name, and he told me he is called Paul. I asked if he was working with South Supreme company, and he said, 'Yes.' Then he held my hand and made me to enter. I had not received even the boarding pass, my name is not on the list, and I didn't pay any money. 
We reached our destination, and they started collecting the boarding pass, but I didn't have one. They questioned me how I entered. I told them one person called Paul allowed me in. They checked, tried to call the head office, but they didn't have any worker by the name of Paul. They decided to let me go because I was going for the work of God. 

When I was reading about how angels manifest to us, I immediately remembered this [experience], and I believe that must have been an angel of God that came to my rescue, because everybody was calling me, [asking], 'Are you coming [to the crusade]?', I really give God the glory."

-----------------------------------------------

END OF TESTIMONY

Praise the Lord for sending His angel to help brother Henry board a plane without a ticket and fly to his destination to preach the gospel in South Sudan. That was truly a miracle. 

It reminds me of the angel named Paul that helped our student Catherine in England when she was lost as a youth.  You can read about that here. I sent the link to Catherine's testimony to brother Henry and asked him if Paul looked like the artists depiction of Paul shown in that article. He replied that Paul did look like that, except he had darker skin and African hair on his head. 

I personally believe it was the same Paul appearing in different forms, and most likely Paul the apostle sent on a mission to help brother Henry get to his destination to preach the gospel. As the Scripture says, "Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?" (Heb 1:14).

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.

Jesus Appeared to Me When I was a Toddler

I would like you to take a moment to read this amazing testimony from a sister in Christ I know in Albania. 

Testimony of Sofia Rubati

Sofia writes:

"My testimony is that when I was around a year and a half old, my mom had put me for a midday nap, and as I was sleeping, something shook me, and I woke up. Suddenly there was blinding light in the room and a very big energy came around me. I could not see anything, but I heard a voice speaking to me, 'I love you. Do you accept me in your life?' And I nodded my head for yes, smiling. The reason I said, 'Yes' is because I felt a very big Love that covered me. 

"A prophetic preacher told me the age, because I was not sure. I had asked the Lord many times, and He sent me his answer through the preacher. 

"And then when I was eleven years old, Jesus appeared to me face to face. I could see a shape, and there was a blinding light coming from the head. He spoke to me through the Holy Spirit, and He told me 'One day you will have to give justice.' 

"Those are two of the most powerful moments of my life with Jesus.

Yours in Christ.

Sofia Rubati"

Video Testimony

When I was in Albania, preaching in the church that Sofia attends, I invited people to come forward for prayer if they wanted to receive the baptism with the Holy Spirit and fire. Sofia was one of several people who came forward, and she was completely set free. She testified that after receiving the impartation of the Holy Spirit's fire (Mt 3:11; Lk 3:16), she felt completely free, and light like a bird, as well as the mighty power of the Holy Spirit flowing through her from head to toe; she felt love, peace, and joy unspeakable, which she said was the most wonderful feeling she had ever experienced. In fact, she said it was so wonderful that she felt like she was floating. Her testimony of that experience is recorded on video, so you can hear her say it in her own words.

Closing Words

I trust that Sofia's testimony has touched your life in a powerful way. 

"This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all." (1Jn 1:5)

Jesus is real. He loves you, too. In fact, He loves you so much that it is as if He loves you more than anyone else, although He loves everyone that way. He wants to have a personal relationship with you. He wants you to know the Father, and to know Him, which is eternal life (Jn 17:3). His love is the only thing that can fill the God-sized hole inside your heart. 

"Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love." (1Jn 4:8)

Nothing and no one else will ever be able to fill that hole, only Him. He wants you to be with Him forever in heaven. Yes, heaven is real, and it's an amazingly wonderful place for those who truly know Him and have repented of their sins (Rev 21-22). 

Hell is real, too. It was created for the devil and his angels (Mt 25:41), but all who do not believe in Jesus will be condemned to that place also (Mk 16:16). That is the default destination for everyone on earth, since we are all sinners who have fallen short of God's glory and perfection. That's why God sent His Son Jesus Christ into this world to die on the cross for us to take our place and pay the penalty for our sins, so that everyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. You don't have to go to hell. But the choice is yours. God has given you a free will to decide for yourself whether to repent of your sin, accept His love, to accept Him into your heart as your Lord and Savior and be saved, or to reject the Son and perish. Which will you choose? I urge you to choose life!

"The man who says, 'I know him,' but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him.." (1Jn 2:4)

How I Came to Know Jesus

I'd like to share with you the testimony of my oldest son Christopher, who is now nineteen years old (as of 2024). Although I am his biographer, it's his true story of how he came to know the Lord, based on the journal I have kept for all my children since they were born. I hope you enjoy it.

Christopher's Testimony

Three years old

There were various points during my early childhood when I prayed to give my heart to Jesus, beginning when I was only two and a half. Only nine days after that, while I was on the phone talking to my aunt, she asked, "Who's this?"  I said, "I'm Christopher, and I love Jesus."  That was the first time I had ever said that on my own, and that was how I began publicly identifying myself with Christ. On another occasion, when I was three years old, I once again publicly identified myself with God. At a playground, I saw a little 4-year old boy, and ran over to him happily saying, "Do you know God?"

During those tender years when I was just a little child, God continued to reveal Himself to me in various ways through nature, through His Word, and through my parents. For example, I once looked up at the stars in the dark evening sky and said, "Wow! God is in heaven!"

As a result of God revealing Himself to me, I began to desire a relationship with Him. One occasion in particular that stands out to me was on Christmas, when I was three and a half. My father was washing and dressing me and I told him I wanted to pray to give my heart to Jesus. So I did that, as he led me in that prayer, and then he prayed for me to be baptized with the Holy Spirit.

About four months later I told my father that when I grow up, I want to be a man who tells other people about Jesus. A couple of months later, I was preaching to my baby brother in his crib, who was only four months old, saying, "Now Joseph, you need to obey Jesus. You disobey the devil."

On another occasion later on February 4, 2010, when I was almost five years old, my father explained to me at the dinner table about how God is bigger than the sky, bigger than the sun, moon, and stars. But He makes Himself small enough to live inside our hearts.  We also talked about how we don't deserve heaven and we all deserve hell.  But Jesus loved us so much he took our punishment. And because of that, now when we get to heaven, He will give us a big welcome.  That was another one of those times when I invited Jesus into my heart and I committed my life to the Lord. 

About a week after that, my mother was praying for me and my baby brother at bedtime like she usually did, saying "Lord, I pray that they would come to know you as soon as possible."  When I heard her pray that, I said, "But Mommy, I already know the Lord!"

My parents began to see some fruit in my life after that, so once Jesus came into my heart, it definitely made a difference in me. I began praying for relatives to come to know Jesus and being thankful. For example, I said, "Daddy, I appreciate having you as my Daddy."  That was something I had never done before.

One evening I wanted to pray for all my uncles, that they would come to know the Lord. As I was doing so with my mother, I came to pray for my uncle Jeff, and instead of praying for him, I said, "He already knows Jesus."  The Lord must have revealed that to me, because my family and I were living in Eastern Europe as missionaries in Hungary (we lived there for four and a half years) and I didn't really have any contact with my uncle Jeff, who was back in the United States. But it was true that he did know the Lord already.

Six years old

When I was six years old I enjoyed reading Bible stories like the one about Noah and the ark. My favorite one of all though was the story of David and Goliath. By the time I was six and a half, I had read the entire gospel of John. About that time, my father prayed with me one day that I would receive all of the healing that Jesus Christ had for me, so that whenever I would lay hands on the sick they would recover, and that healing and miracles would happen. The videos of miracles and healing that I watched that day really increased my faith.

Soon after that, my family and I watched a video about a girl who went to hell and back, and another girl who saw Jesus. Afterwards we all repented as a family and asked the Lord to forgive our sins.  We asked the Lord to fill us with the Holy Spirit and he did.  I spoke in other  languages at that time, when I received the baptism with the Spirit.

A couple months later, I prayed, “Lord please give me a dream of You!” I then had a dream in which I saw a picture right in front of my eyes. In the picture, I saw the back of myself in a room, facing away and looking at Jesus, who was standing before me, facing me and looking at me.  Jesus did not look like a person, but like a round, bright white light. Behind Jesus in the room were four people, who were rather short. They all had black hair and squinted, oriental eyes like Chinese people.  Two of them were wearing conical, Chinese coolie, straw hats like the rice farmers wear, which are pointed at the top.  Behind the people was a stone staircase without a railing, which ascended to the right, and at the top it turned.  It was a still picture, like a photograph. Even though it was many years ago, I still remember that dream.

Right after that I received the baptism with holy fire when my father prayed for me. John the Baptist said that Jesus would baptize with the Holy Spirit and fire (Mt 3:11; Lk 3:16), and that's exactly what He did for me. It was a tangible experience where I could feel the fire of God on my back, and my hands became hot. Soon afterwards, I began to pray more deeply and fervently than I had ever prayed before. I prayed, "Lord, help us to love you with a whole heart, not half a heart!"

Soon after that, I had a dream from the Lord, in which I was together with my whole family outdoors in a field at nighttime in the dark, discussing the Lord’s glory cloud, like the one that appeared in the temple. Suddenly I looked up, and two white lights flashed in the sky about 10 or 12 feet above us.  They flashed simultaneously like a camera flash.  In the center of one white light, I saw a small, round, blue light.  In the center of the other white flash, I saw a small, round, pink light.  These smaller orbs remained in the sky above us after the white flashes, and there were other such orbs of different colors as well.  They went upward with a sound like a mighty, rushing wind and descended downward toward us.  As they descended, I felt something like a weight of glory coming down on me, upon my head and upper body.  This weight was so great that it caused me to bend backwards at the waist.  That’s where my dream ended. In the morning, I remembered the dream from the Lord clearly and shared it with my family.

I continued to experience God in many ways, and He made Himself very real to me, including through dreams, visions, and encounters with Jesus and his angels. One time at age six, when we had our usual midnight family prayer meeting, I prayed that we would all be baptized afresh in the Holy Spirit. Soon after I prayed that, I felt a gentle wind blowing on my right ear, then on my right hand, and then on the back of my neck.  There were no windows open in the house or fans blowing. It was definitely the Holy Spirit.

Also at age six, during my morning quiet time, I asked the Lord to show me what He wanted me to do.  The Lord first told me, “Obey your parents.”  Then I said, “What else do you want me to do, Lord?”  And the Lord replied, “Preach.”

When I was nine years old, at bedtime I asked my father if it would be ok if I started getting up 30 minutes earlier in the morning, so that I could spend more time in prayer each day.

When I was ten years old, during a Sunday service in our home, two of my older sisters separately received essentially the same prophetic words from the Lord for me about God's mighty calling on my life to preach and teach the truth of His Word.  Afterward my father laid hands on me and prayed for me that I would indeed be a mighty man of God and preach righteousness and love truth. He released the anointing so that I could do so, and as he prayed for me, I sensed the presence of God.

Fourteen years old

As a young teenager, I prayed for the Lord to show me my purpose in life, and I sensed that He said, "street preaching" and "evangelism". Then I seemed to see people coming together from two directions, pairing up in pairs of two and going out together two-by-two. Afterward the chapter I read that day was Mark one, which tells of John and Jesus preaching to multitudes. As I prayed further about it a few days later, I sensed "serving others" was part of my purpose.

I trust the Lord will use my story to encourage you, especially if you already know the Lord. Continue to seek Him and pursue Him. Go deeper in Him than you have before. Ask for the baptism with the Holy Spirit and fire. Believe His promises and receive it. Give yourself totally over to Him to be His servant. Love Him with your whole heart, not half a heart! Ask Him to use you for the purpose for which He created you, and then let Him do it. Doing His will is the most fulfilling way to live your life, but also the most rewarding in eternity.

If you consider yourself a Christian, or if you have been in church all your life, or if you have been raised in a Christian family, let me just say this. None of that will save you. Jesus said you must be born again (Jn 3:7). He said, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again." (Joh 3:3, NIV). Many people have been in church all their lives, but they have never been born again. So don't let that happen to you.

God is real, and so is Jesus. Heaven is real, and so is hell. We all deserve hell, because we've all sinned. But by the grace and mercy of God, He has made a way for us to be with Him in heaven for eternity.

If you don't know Jesus yet in a personal way, then I want to say a few words to you. Jesus loves you with an everlasting love, and He died on the cross for you. He took your place and bore your punishment, so you don't have to go to hell, if you repent and believe in Him. He rose from the dead three days after He died and He is alive. 

Eighteen years old

He has a plan for your life that is far greater than anything you've ever experienced. He can set you free from every addiction, break every chain of bondage, fulfill your deepest needs, and love you like nobody else ever could. He'll be your closest friend. I challenge you to repent of your sins and believe in Him right now to save your soul. Ask Him to forgive you for all your sins and come and live inside your heart. Ask Him to be your Lord and Savior, as you commit your life to the Lord. Then be baptized in water and live your life for Him, not for yourself. Then when you get to heaven after you die, He will give you a big welcome, and an eternal reward.

I hope to see you one day up in heaven and rejoice with you there. What a time we will have praising God around His throne with the multitudes of saints and angels. Please don't miss it for anything!

Delivered from Bondage and New Age Deception

I would like to share with you the testimony of one of the Kenyan students in our discipleship training school called Doulos Training School. She recently came back to the Lord following nine years of backsliding in sin after she initially came to the Lord in 2002. Here is the testimony in her own words:

The Testimony of Mwendwa
Born in the early 80s, my childhood was traumatic -- riddled with chaos, sadness, torment, and despair occasioned by living with an abusive alcoholic father. My father committed suicide when I was 17, while my own first suicide attempt was at the age of 15. I struggled with severe clinical depression, low self-esteem, rejection, self-hate, OCD, social anxiety, fear, suicidal attempts and ideations, and sexual bondage from my early teen years to my late twenties. 

I first got born again at age 20 alone at home, in 2002 after an abortion which left me guilty and filled with torment. I backslid two years later however without a foundation of the truth of God and always feeling not good enough and rejected even in church. I got pregnant at age 22. At age 29 after years of severe sexual sin, depression and constant suicidal ideations, I cried out to God in repentance in my bedroom as I could not go on any longer as I had been and he set free instantly from all my sin. I got active in a local church in worship team and teaching Sunday school, and also had my own ministry to the poor slum women and feeding street boys.

Sadly, five years in 2014 later following a series of bad experiences with cults and false churches with false teachings, and being dismissed from the church I served as a leader in for questioning some of the things being done, I was tired and disillusioned and kissed formal religion goodbye opting to follow Jesus away from organized Christianity. However, isolated, wounded, and alone I found myself an easy prey to the devil. I got sexually manipulated by an apostle who took advantage of my vulnerable state, and this filled me with deep self-condemnation and I stopped reading the bible and praying, and eventually found myself back to the sins of my past worse than before, effectively opening the door to Satan's deceptions.

I began accepting and embracing new-age spiritual beliefs which seemed to offer me some semblance of a relationship with God since I no longer identified as a Christian. Over the next 9 years, these new age beliefs had taken deep hold of me and I became a 'spiritual' teacher in the metaphysical, law of attraction, and new thought community. I published 3 books and had clients and a growing following on social media. My new beliefs were a mixture of Gnosticism, Hinduism, Buddhism, eastern philosophy, and mystical Christianity. I had embraced beliefs such as non-dualism, reincarnation, Christ-consciousness, and oneness, and believed all paths led to God. I thought I had found the ultimate truth but was deeply deceived.

As a ‘spiritual’ teacher I had also gradually developed a drinking problem and by 2022 was a full-blown alcoholic unable to save myself despite years of trying everything I could. My spiritual beliefs could not save me. I knew only Jesus could help me, and I cried out to him for help over and over. Finally at my lowest point when I felt I would surely die and gave up on all self-help, the Lord Jesus set me free instantly and miraculously in rehab. In rehab I began to study the teachings of Jesus in the bible daily, desiring the truth. The spiritual deception took longer to be free from because I still believed I was on the right path. However, Jesus was slowly opening my blinded eyes.

By April 2023 the word of God and the grace of the Lord Jesus had done their work and opened my eyes it seemed almost overnight to see how greatly deceived I had been. Through a convicting work only the Holy Spirit can perform, I was shown the depth of my deception for those 9 years and how I had turned to other gods. It felt like I had woken up from a deep sleep. I truly was the prodigal son. I had wasted all I had in prodigal living. Jesus said that the prodigal son "came to himself", and said, "I will arise and go to my father." Jesus opened my eyes, set me free from years of sin and deception, and revived my first love for him which had been lost. (Revelations 2:4)

Through godly sorrow and repentance, I knew I had to leave my old life behind completely. It was clear I could not maintain my old life and a walk with Jesus. In obedience, I left it all behind to follow Jesus (Luke 5:11). This included pulling down my books from Amazon, my old social media accounts, and all my articles on my website. I also made a public confession to my followers on social media and to my clients making it clear I could no longer teach what I had been.

It was not easy and there were many consequences to this change-financially, socially, and emotionally. Sin and rebellion always have consequences. But Jesus promised to be with me always if I obeyed him and he has.

Jesus has changed my life. I now truly understand the Grace of God. The old self-righteousness and works-based Christian life that always led to condemnation, frustration, and backsliding was been exposed. I finally realized that I cannot please God through my own efforts, and my efforts cannot save me. It is all by the Grace of God, and only by looking to Jesus Christ am I sustained. My salvation is the work of God. It is he and he alone who opened my eyes when I was greatly deceived, it was all him and none of me. I am grateful for his mercy, long-suffering, and kindness. He did not allow me to die and perish in my pitiful state. I was dead and now am alive again, was blind but now I see. All my life I felt not good enough and had adopted a performance mindset even with my relationship with Jesus, but now for the first time I feel truly accepted in the beloved without the need to DO things to be loved by the Father, but instead overflowing with good works as a response to his love, and not to gain his love.

END OF MWENDWA'S TESTIMONY

Closing Words

I trust that this testimony has blessed you by the power of the Holy Spirit. If you have been in a similar situation to hers, I strongly encourage you to repent and ask the Lord to forgive you and set you free, trusting Him to do so in a very powerful way.

Hundreds Saved in Uganda Through Jesus Film

Between July 20th, 2022 and December 13th, 2022, one of our third-year Doulos Training School (DTS) students, brother Tom Abongo (pictured below), traveled throughout Northern Uganda showing the Jesus Film in four different languages—English, Lango, Acholi, and Alur. He is a Ugandan pastor living in Uganda, overseeing a ministry there called Doma Pentecostal Global Ministries.

During the period mentioned above, after he received a free projector from the Jesus Film Project, he showed the Jesus Film 72 times, to a cumulative total of 2000 people, with a result of 300 decisions made for Christ, four new churches planted, and 35 small groups formed. 

Since then, his team has followed up with 280 of the converts, issuing evangelism handouts, and meeting with them in designated places, training them in different cells and using trained church leaders to carry out discipleship.

He writes: “Thanks to the Jesus Film Project, for it has been found to be the best tool ever in touching the lives of thousands in just a very short time.”

He continues on with the following short stories to summarize the major highlights of this five-month period of missionary outreach with the Jesus Film: 

“I suggest that some financial support be extended to me in reaching all these areas with the shows and the gospel of Jesus Christ. It was not easy on my side and for all my members. Food, transport and accommodations became a very big challenge to us; but by God’s grace we were able to make it. The phone I was using got [ruined], and I lost all the video coverage and photos about our shows in Northern Uganda. If possible, [please let] a laptop be provided for proper and urgent updates.

“It was really a great encounter and the most efficient way we evangelized and used the Jesus Film to reach Northern Uganda.

Immediately after I received the Jesus Film equipment, the journey started. We started [off at] home, with 40 in attendance and 18 people coming to Christ.

When we started reaching hard-to-reach areas like Nebbi, Arua, Kitgum, Lamwo and the border of Uganda and DRC Congo, we were challenged by their [eating] habits. We were not accustomed to their food, but there was no other choice.

One of the pastors in our team was [spiritually attacked] in his eyes [through an evil spell that someone cast], and within the shortest hours, his eyes could not see any object. That day we did not show the film because of our brother. We all turned up for serious deliverance prayer to release him from the attack. Brother Innocent and I laid hands on him, and he received instant healing.

Besides all the challenges and many encounters with demoniacs, we stood for the truth.

One solid truth I cannot run away from is [this]: Christ is the sole provider and the sustainer of salvation. We could not sustain those to whom we preached the gospel, and they received Jesus Christ. But all of them made up their minds to follow Jesus. Three hundred people are still strong in the Lord and are already established in four different new churches.

In these four new churches we have established, prayer, counseling and deliverance services are now conducted every Wednesday and Sunday evening. Many are getting healed and delivered from demonic powers.

One young man by the name Joshua had lost his eye[sight] as a result of witchcraft practiced on him. But immediately as he stepped on the stage where I was carrying out deliverance, his eyes opened automatically by the power of the Lord Jesus, which was so dense in the area.

Many things the Lord did, of which I cannot condense here in the report.

May the Lord Jesus bless Life Ministry for their [part] in the evangelism explosion.

Let the struggle continue in Jesus’ name.

Brother Abongo Tom."

Tom also informed us on May 22, 2023 about many baptisms into Christ that have occurred as a result of this outreach:

"We have trained many Christians in discipleship, and yesterday we baptized twenty-three new church members. Next week we shall baptize twenty more members who are still undergoing discipleship. The twenty-three people we baptized were saved as a result of the film shows. Still twenty more are going to be baptized the following week."

Praise the Lord! What a mighty God we serve. This is a truly amazing report of what the Lord has done in a very short period of time to a brother with a passion for lost souls, and a heart to bring them to Christ.

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?"

Amazing Healing and Deliverance in Uganda

One of our graduates from our Doulos Training School (DTS), who is now on staff with our ministry in Uganda shared the following testimony of several healing and deliverance miracles. Brother Grace wrote on February 14th:

Dear brother Len, glad to hear from you! 

Amazing testimonies; just to single out a few among many: 

1. A lady came to the house of prayer requesting us to pray for her daughter who couldn't make it to the place of prayer; the severe pain in the legs of Joyce left instantly the same time we were praying (John 4:50-53). 

2. Richard from Kalaki district had a problem of witchcraft, where demons used to stone his house tops and several times attempting to target family members especially at night. When he called for prayer on phone, the Lord showed me two birds leave and fly away from his compound. No more sign of witchcraft in his home. 

3. Margaret in Ngora district last Friday was in a dying point, suffering from serious headache, fever, cough and general body pain; she couldn't talk, stand, eat etc. Her daughter called, and after a short prayer on phone, she was completely healed. 

4. Florence had marriage issues with her husband for long. Some months ago she came to our house for prayer help. Florence yesterday confessed that she despised our prayer, saying in her heart "this place is not a Church building, I am not convinced their prayer can avail anything." Just yesterday in our Sunday service she came with another lady who also wanted prayer for her marriage. Florence testifies that her [own] husband came back immediately after the prayer made; they have total peace now. 

5. Sister Angela had been chased away by her husband and was living with her 4 children in her sister's home for 6 years. After prayer, the same week her husband came back apologizing; their marriage now is very stable. These are just a few among many cases of marriage restoration testimonies that the Lord has handled. 

6. I have a neighbor here, Sam. His wife asked us to go and share prayer with him; I hesitated, but later that evening went with one sister. Sam was bedridden and was helped to the sitting room by three people. He couldn't talk, sit, eat or drink. Sam was crying with severe cough, headache, high temperature etc (all covid 19 symptoms). After that prayer he smiled, walked out, and took tea. 

When I went back home I fell very sick with my wife, with signs of the illness. I remember sharing this with brother Len. At that time of prayer with brother Len, the Lord healed us! 

A few days later, when I went to check on Sam, he testified that he had covid 19, and is now very fine. 

Brother Len, there are many more healings and deliverances the Lord has done and will keep on sending their testimonies to you. All the glory and honor belong to Him! 

Blessings in Jesus' Name. 

Your brother, Grace.

END OF TESTIMONY FROM GRACE

Closing Words

Are you in need of healing in your body? Do you need deliverance? Is your marriage in trouble? There is hope for you today through the power of Jesus Christ. He is the answer.

"With God all things are possible." (Mat 19:26b). All you need to do is ask Him for it by faith, and be sure you have forgiven anyone whom you are holding anything against. And ask the Lord to forgive all your sins for Christ's sake, because He paid the penalty for you already on the cross, where He died for you, and then rose again three days later. Jesus said, "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins." (Mar 11:24-25).

For more amazing testimonies of miracles, healing, and deliverance that the Lord has done in brother Grace's ministry, please see the articles of mine listed directly below in the author's note section. He has planted about 20 churches over his many years of ministry, but 14 of those were planted just this year in 2026, for which we give God all the glory.

A Message from our Lord by Sister Catherine

On Sunday, 9th January 2022, I received the following email from one of the students in our Doulos Training School (DTS), sister Catherine, who is in the United Kingdom. 

Testimony of Sister Catherine

"Dear brother Len and sister Jennifer.

This morning at around 6:00 AM, I had a vision of being in heaven, and our Lord showed me the setting sun. 

I met Jesus face-to-face and He said, 'As much as I would love to give more time to save souls, I cannot, because our Father the Almighty has set the sun in place and His plans in place, and they cannot be changed. Time is running out for saving souls, please tell our Church. I am always with you'

It was crystal clear, and a very vivid message and very powerful.

This message  has really got me thinking of the urgency of witnessing praying more.

I felt it is very urgent to share this message with you.

I feel such a stronger urgency to witness more and pray more for salvation of lost souls and pray for more people to join the Doulos studies and for some churches to wake up before it's too late.

Praying for you all. 

Bless you all. 

With love in Jesus our Lord. 

Sister Catherine."

[END OF TESTIMONY FROM SISTER CATHERINE].

---------------------------------------------

Closing Words

Dear friends, I have no doubt that what sister Catherine has shared actually happened to her, and that the Lord did speak to her in heaven. I know her and she would not make anything like this up. 

This message from our Lord agrees with what we have been hearing from Him through many other servants of His. Time is up. The end has come. He is coming back very very soon (Rev 22:7). There is no time to waste. The Father has determined it. As the Lord said at the end of the Revelation given to John the apostle:

"Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. "Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood. "I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star." (Rev 22:12-16)

Even so, come, Lord Jesus! Come! 

May the Lord help us all to be found ready when He comes. May He help us to be found faithful and obedient to all that He has commanded us to do, including the Great Commission to go and make disciples. May He help us to be faithful in prayer, especially for souls.
