| Mac Breaking The Spirit Of Infirmity Off The Children Of Nakatunda In The Name Of Jesus |
After saying goodbye to Amon and Kenneth we boarded Disciple Ship and
headed back up the coast to the somewhat larger fishing village of
Nakatunda. The village is easy to spot due to several large baobab tress
in the midst of the grass huts. Again, we were greeted by an even
larger crowd of excited children awaiting our arrival. This time we were
looking for a man name Best who was identified on a previous trip as a
potential spiritual leader for the village. It was under the largest of
the baobab trees that we sat and began to share God's love for Nakatunda
and its residents. As we shared it became apparent that there was a
spirit of infirmity plaguing many of the children who were severely
coughing. Later that evening we showed the Jesus film to a crowd of
around 100 villagers and then spent sometime sharing the good news of
the Gospel of the Kingdom. As we had learned in the previous village of
Mukuyu it is best to let the message marinate over night and return the
next to pray for those wanting to respond to the message. A group from
the team did just that and again we saw several individuals come forward
accept Christ and express a desire to be baptized. One man in
particular, whose name was Christmas, was baptized and then received
several words of prophesy over his life from different team members. It
was obvious that God was speaking into Christmas' life as the same words
of prophesy were given three different times by different member of the
team who were not aware of the previous prophesies spoken over him.
During our time with the villagers in Nakatunda it became apparent that this village is a key piece of what God is doing amongst the Tonga people of Zambia and Zimbabwe. We were so touched by our time in Nakatunda and feel it is just a glimmer of the revival God is birthing in the much forgotten about Tonga peoples of Southern Africa............More to come.
