Hope in the midst of adversity

After being set free from various ailments they accepted Christ.

The other day I started off the day with a Bible study for a couple of security officers (also residents) in Diepsloot. We then took to the streets to be beacons of light and hope in the midst of darkness.   We went to a family's home (a tin shack) which was burnt to the ground.  The security officer made some arrangements with a local NGO for some physical help, and I was able to pray with many of them who were instantly set free from their various physical pains and afflictions.

Christmas miracles for those in need

Grandmother and grandchildren healed

I always like to remind our children that Christmas is not about ourselves -- it's about Jesus, His ultimate sacrifice in giving His own life -- and putting in to practice His admonition that "as the Father sent me, so I send you." (John 20:21) In other words, Christmas represents living a life which touches the lives of others with God's love -- and spending time loving the One who made it all possible. So, as a family, we went in to Diepsloot (as we regularly do). Our kids played with the children, people were set free from their ailments and diseases as we prayed for them, and some opened their heart to Jesus and experienced God for the first time. (One of these was a man who's partly responsible for security in one section of Diepsloot. Click to read more »

Enoch – healed and set free in Diepsloot

Enoch was introduced to me and was obviously full of pain in his body. For two years he'd been in this condition and it took it's toll in his countenance.

Man happy after legs healed at a petrol station

I met Joel at a petrol station and he mentioned his legs were in pain.  This was obviously not a good situation for him as he needed to be on his feet constantly. After prayer, his legs were healed.  In this short video, Joel shares his testimony - click to watch. Click to read more »

Woman in Diepsloot couldn’t walk, now she can

The last couple weeks in Diepsloot have been amazing. I'm so happy to see people getting set free not only in their spirit, but in their bodies as well -- getting set free from sickness and disease. God is alive and well -- and Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever! Since my last update a week or so ago about 40 people have been set free from various afflictions and pains in Diepsloot. Someone brought me to this woman who had pain in her legs and thus couldn't walk. There were two small boys nearby so I taught them how to pray and set this grandmother free from her pain --in Jesus' name. Another woman was also set free from back pain. Click to watch the video.

More sickness destroyed in Diepsloot

One of the better sections of Diepsloot

Yesterday I was again privileged to walk the dirt roads in Diepsloot as God extended His loving and healing touch in to the lives of real people in tough situations. One precious older woman who needs to care for her grandchildren was in bed with fever and flu-like symptoms -- sweating profusely.  It was a pleasure to hold her hand as God brought her healing and relief.  The sweat dried up and she sat up obviously feeling well.  She also said the pain from her leg (which had limited mobility) was gone, and she could begin moving her foot in ways she couldn't before ... another ...

Healing sickness and disease in Diepsloot – the importance

Friends in Diepsloot

Remaining healthy in Diepsloot can be challenging since many  residents don't have access to running water, proper sewage removal, medicine, nor can many afford to eat a nutritious and balanced meal. Then there is the plague of HIV and AIDS which ravage lives and spread not only amongst those making unhealthy lifestyle choices, but amongst the victims of those making those poor choices -- innocent women and children ... Why do I walk the streets of Diepsloot extending God's personal, healing touch? I think the answer is clear. Click to read more »

Happy students putting love in action after listening to the message.

Had a great time a few days ago sharing with students at a school in Diepsloot.  I was involved in personally counseling the students as well as sharing with a classroom of about fifty students who all hopefully walked away with a larger vision of life, God, and what they could do to make an [...] Click to read more »

Tendons healed, nephew saved, pain gone!

Siphewe (left) healed & no longer needs a crutch! His Nephew (middle) receives Jesus as a result.

Was at a Petrol Station yesterday and saw a man (Siphewe - left of photo) limping with a crutch and a brace on his leg. After some hesitation the thought came to me, "if you really believe God will heal him when you pray, wouldn't you just go without hesitation?" So at that I went over and asked him what was wrong with his leg. He explained the ligaments in his ankles were practically torn and thus he walked with constant pain. I mentioned Jesus can heal him and then knelt down and laid my hands on his ankles Click to read more »
