District 9
173 people trained in 13 districts. A brother was delivered instantly of several demons from which he was suffering from three and half years. The word spread, and many came to verify the healing. This led to training invitations in three more villages next month and few baptisms. 26 house groups formed, and 22 churches started in May and June.
District 10
172 people trained in 16 villages. In two places, churches were attacked; nobody was hurt; only some shacks were damaged where people live. Many trainers get threatened for their lives in this district, but it has been 9 months since a trainer has been beaten. This trainer was beaten up when he was teaching and training at a believer’s home. These men tried to disturb the training by throwing stones at the house; then, they pushed their way into the home, beat up the trainer, and broke some of the furniture. One woman had a skin infection which kept returning despite the medication she took, but after a trainer prayed for her, the infection has not been back in 4 months. The work grows as healing makes way for the training and the gospel. 43 new house groups are formed, and 23 new Churches started in May and June.
District 11
156 people trained in 18 villages. The most amazing incident happened—a thief gave his life to Jesus after being healed of rare skin infection which he had for years! A 29-year-old man suffered from partial paralysis for three and a half years and was healed. Following this, the man and his extended family of 16 Adults and 7 children accepted the Lord. 22 new groups formed, and 15 Churches started in May and June.
District 12
146 people trained in 16 villages. Remarkable acceptance has been evident in this district, and many volunteers are being trained and are helping train with us. Praise the Lord. A small girl fell into an open well and lost consciousness; people at the training rescued the girl; and later she was taken to get medical care. The girl’s family gave gifts to the trainer and offered to pay for the all the expenses and food during the 5 days of the training and started to attend fellowship. Last heard, he had already come to attend worship twice. During another training while two people were being baptized, a snake bit a man’s arm while he was sitting the grass. Since the city hospital was almost 5 hours away, the believers prayed and asked the Lord for healing and adequate time for the man to reach the hospital. And he did make it and was given an antidote at the hospital. He is doing well now. Because of this incident, a fear of the Lord has spread, and many are now coming to the church meetings as seekers. 29 house groups formed, and 21 Churches started in May and June.
