I have witnessed many wonders and miracles from Jesus, both during and after my father would pray for people, such as the blind recovering their sight, paralytics walking, the deaf hearing, incurable sicknesses healed, etc. Throughout the region, hundreds of children now bear my father’s name. (Note: It is common in Congo for people to name their children after someone they admire or highly respect.)
I have also seen with my own eyes the dead being resurrected, the despairing finding hope again, and souls being won. I personally assisted my father in his ministry as when he would travel to other parts of the region I would remain at home to pray for 1,500 to 2,000 sick people that would come over daily. I would pray for them to receive healing.
In 2007, I was forced to leave my native province to come to the capital of Kinshasa in order to pursue my studies in university, driven by that compassion to show the love of Jesus to those I would meet. I have committed myself to do hospital visitation twice a week in the capital to pray for the sick and to win souls. Many people have experienced a significant improvement in their health as a result.
For example, there was an 8-year-old boy who was in a coma for a week. The doctors thought he had typhoid fever. However, when we prayed for him, the Lord revealed that the problem was something else, and sure enough, they discovered that it was his pancreas that had collapsed and he needed an operation. The surgeon wanted $300 for the operation, but the family only had $60. I stayed with them for 4 hours during the operation, we were standing and praying from 4:00-8:00pm, and the Lord touched the heart of some people who came forward and donated towards the cost of the operation. God wonderfully answered our prayers, and the little boy is now healed.
I am praying for the Lord to supply a camera so I can take pictures of the people who are getting healed and testify of the Lord’s wonderful power.
