TESTIMONIES
8 September 2021
This man was almost run-over by a vehicle on Saturday morning – an event that made him realize that life is short and he needed to make right. . .
We were cleaning Paul Kruger Street, Pretoria on Saturday from the abortion and sangoma stickers and the theme was JOY! We were playing worship music and we handed out oranges as an act of love and kindness.
He came walking up to Martie and said that he wants to give his life to Jesus! She spent some time ministering to him and we sensed true repentance and witnessed deliverance!
The very next day (Sunday), this same man was drawn to us yet again as he followed the music that we were playing as we were busy with worship, praise and church in Burgerspark. As he walked up to us - his favorite song starts playing. He worked through the whole book of John (a booklet that we handed to him on Saturday) and yet again, we could minister to him and we helped him with forgiveness, purpose, and reconciliation with his family (mom) in Durban.
I met him this morning again (on appointment) and shared with him what the Lord showed me – to no surprise to him as it was just confirmation of what the Lord had shared with him! He now has a bus ticket back to Durban tomorrow and is focused on His God-given mission & mandate!
Such an incredible testimony of a former gangster, prisoner and homeless man, reconciled with his family and now off the streets, touched by the Holy Spirit and transformed and restored instantly as a son of God!
This is truly a testimony and the signature of our miracle-working God! Rev 12:11
But wait, it gets better!
Follow up on this testimony!
WOW, BUT GOD!!!
This testimony is just getting better and better. . .
The Lord is expediting Kiernan’s purpose and work back home in KZN! He is so filled with the Spirit and zeal for the Lord! Since his return, he is just sharing the good news of Jesus Christ every single day in the streets of Durban!
Last week Sunday, he testified that, as he was spontaneously ministering the Word, people just started gathering around him – they eventually ended up being around 20 people – just flowing in fellowship with God and one another!
During last week, he phoned me for advice. The day before, he ministered to a lady that accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Saviour. Only afterwards, did he get to know that she was a witch-doctor for 16 years! She came back for more prayer and asked him what to do with all the beads, etc. that she used to wear, but had now took off – thus his call to me for advice.
Then, when I spoke to him today, he told me that he was ministering to a Van Der Merwe family in North beach yesterday. Meanwhile, they are Spirit filled believers and after experiencing his zeal and passion for God, they offered him a job!
This is only about 2 weeks after his Damascus moment and encounter with God, and just look at what God is doing already in his life!
Oh, and just one more testimony of God’s goodness: Yesterday in Burgerspark, we experienced the most amazing presence and work of the Holy Spirit and witnessed deliverances and healings! Because of that, two of our newly found brothers were ready to commit to rehabilitation and we took them with joyful, expecting hearts to a rehabilitation facility today! They have chosen to accept Jesus, received the Holy Spirit and is on a mission to transform their lives off the street!
Indeed, God is the Way-maker, Miracle-worker, Promise-keeper Light in the darkness God!

This is Eduard 's story, that he wants the world to hear:
We met him last week on the streets in Pretoria. He couldn't walk and he asked us to pray for him, (specifically for his leg that hindered him from walking).
I ministered to him and as I laid hands on his leg and started praying for it, the Lord showed me that the leg is only the physical manifestation of the real pain and hurt in his heart. I shared it with him and moved my hand from his leg to his heart and kept praying what the Spirit showed me to pray for.
Tears were running freely from his eyes as I encouraged him to forgive people. I could sense the incredible encounter that he had with the Lord in that moment. God truly had an anointed appointment with him!
This morning, he came walking to us as soon as he heard the worship music! He was all smiles and so full of joy that I hardly recognised him! He displayed his healing by jumping up and down and praising God for it!
He joined us in the serving this morning and handed out sandwiches to some of the other homeless people – sharing his testimony with eagerness and confessing the goodness of God! I just heard him saying “God is good.” and “Jesus loves you. . .” to everybody he encountered.
Eduard also confessed with tears in his eyes that he is ready to leave the drugs. I believe him, as I witnessed God’s hand and work in him – Eduard is truly restored and a new creation in Christ. We will take him to a rehabilitation centre this week and support him through his next step in his journey with God!
Indeed, God is our Way-maker, Miracle-worker, Promise-Keeper and Light in the Darkness.
And then this beautiful follow-up of harvesting souls, because of Eduard’s story (Rev 12:11):
Thank you to everyone that prayed for us this morning as we served the community alongside the railway line near Bougainville hospital.
As mentioned, we experienced so much evil and demonic activity last week and we felt a lot of resistance in the Spirit.
We really had a great expectation that God would manifest and display His might and power in some supernatural way today, as we went out again this morning with many prayer warriors covering us! We used communion before the time and anointed the whole area and railway line with oil before we started.
Still, it felt as if the ground was rejecting us, but we pressed in fervently and were greatly rewarded!
We shared the testimony and miraculous healing and restoration of Eduard from CBD with the people and in one of the small group chats, we showed some before and after photos of Eduard. It turned out that many knew him and couldn’t believe the video where he was jumping up and down demonstrating his healing, as they knew his struggle with his leg for many years! This prepared the table for breakthroughs and 4 of the people in our group were earnestly committed to give their lives to Christ!
We waited for all the small groups to finish and then shared and challenged the bigger group too!
Many of them stood up and committed their lives to Christ! How awesome did God manifest his presence supernaturally with the harvest of so many souls!
Jesus continued, “In the same way, there will be a glorious celebration in heaven over the rescue of one lost sinner who repents, comes back home, and returns to the fold—more so than for all the righteous people who never strayed away.” - Luke 15:7 TPT
