Another Nyawa testimony

Our third expedition, in an area in the Nyawa Chiefdom next to the former Game Management Area, was incredible. We ministered to hundreds, had many salvations, and a few demonic deliverances. Nearly everyone we laid hands on was healed instantly. Here are a few of the most memorable moments of the expedition. The first evening we were there, the village headman came to our camp and invited us to a ceremony that night for a woman who had been oppressed by demons that made her ill for quite some time. They were to play drums, dance, and sing chants to appease the spirits that oppressed her in hopes that she would get well. We politely declined and decided to go and minister to her under more convenient circumstances. We could hear the drums and music clearly from our camp. The next morning, we met the oppressed lady at the headman’s house. She had pain in her teeth, legs, and other areas. We laid hands on the areas that were hurting, and the pain moved to new parts of the body. We then commanded it to leave entirely, and she was completely healed. After leading her to Christ, we shared the truth about witch doctors and demonic forces with her and the headman, answering all their questions. A few days later, a few of us went into the GMA in search of people to minister to. We came upon one group of huts with only 5 young boys present. I would say most of them were ages 10-13. We asked them if they knew Jesus, and they replied that they did not. We shared the Gospel to them and led them to the Lord. On the last day of ministry, a few of us came upon another small group of huts. The man of the household gave us a warm greeting, as did the many women and children of his family. When we asked him how long he had known the Lord, he said that he had tried to serve God but had gone astray. He was having a hard time finding the motivation. We then presented the Gospel to him (which he had never truly heard, and he accepted Christ. We sat and talked with them for a couple hours about freedom in Christ versus the intense, works-based legalism that was prevalent in the area. By the end, they seemed to have a thorough understanding of it and were very relieved and full of peace. Ten of them asked for prayer for physical ailments. We laid hands on them and commanded the sicknesses and pains to leave in the authority of Jesus. They were all completely healed.

These are only a few of many miracles that occurred on the expedition. The people were incredibly generous, as well as ready to receive the Lord’s blessings. We all learned a great deal from the amazing experiences and our faith increased. - Stetson, AMT student
