It was a miracle!
The Lord is working.
With joy, Lual with Community Network Ministries shares how he has seen God’s love change lives.
Praise the Lord! Let me tell you how the Lord is working.
Tong is one of our neighbors who lives near the church building. He is a polygamous man. He has three wives. And these wives are not living in peace with one another.
There were constant quarrels, accusations, and even fights among his wives. This has been going on for many years up to now.
Recently, one of the wives was sick. She was not getting well. So they took her to a local witch doctor for help. The witch doctor performed some chants but could not cure her.
She continued to be unwell, so they decided to try coming to the church to see if there could be some prayers made for her. They brought her to the church, and they shared their story. They shared that she was in conflict with the other wives. They shared with us that the witch doctor told them that one of the co-wives made some evil against her, and that is why she was sick.
As we shared the love of Jesus with her, I thought we would also try to work through some reconciliation between the family. We called the whole family together. Tong, his three wives, and some other family members. So we sat with them and told them clearly from the Bible the need for the family to accept Jesus Christ. For without him, their house would always be in turmoil. There would always be accusations and fights.
Praise the Lord, Tong decided to give his life to Christ that day.
He said to his wives, if any wanted to follow him in his decision, they were free, but he was accepting Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior.
His three wives and some of his other family members also accepted Christ. A total of 7 in the family decided to follow Jesus.
And so, after they received Jesus as their Lord and Savior, we guided them in a time of reconciliation. There were tears. There was joy. And there was happiness. We prayed for the woman. The following day, she was fine! Haha, it was a miracle! The whole family was fine.
So that is how Tong and his family came to Christ and saw change in their lives. From that moment, we have been spending time with them, making sure they understand the fullness of the gospel, discipling them, and monitoring them.
Truly, the Lord is working and changing lives!
