Question 10

"What has been the most powerful thing you've seen God do while ministering in the villages?"

It's hard to narrow this down to one thing because God has done so much in the lives of the people in the villages that I've been to. However, the first testimony that comes to mind happened a couple of years ago. We were holding a women's conference in Nyawa Village- Zambia. About halfway through the 2nd day of the conference, an old woman shuffled into the church and sat at the back. During the break, she came up to us and through an interpreter share her story. Her name was Sophia and she lived in one of the surrounding villages. She had heard about the women's conference but feared she wouldn't be able to walk the distance. Her feet had been in pain for years, so bad that she could only move around her home. However, her desire for the Lord was far greater then her pain. She walked, using a long stick as a cane, for several hours to reach the conference. Sophia then asked us to pray for her. As we did, she said she felt fire rush through her feet and the pain was completely gone. She had tried everything before this day- clinics as well as the witchdoctor. Nothing had worked until she turned to Christ. Her life was completely changed!
