A Shining Torch

Posted on by Michele Perry

We have been so amazed to see all that God is doing in bringing complete restoration to girls abducted by the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA).  Over the last 2 years, we have served as a temporary home for over 10 young girls set free from the horrors of captivity to the LRA.  Watching Jesus heal their hearts and bodies has been one of our great joys.

Read the testimony of what God is doing in our newest daughter through His love and grace!  Thank you for your prayers.  Please keep them coming for this one whose name means torch, bright shining light. We love and thank Jesus for each of you.

Police Trainees

About a month ago we took notice of about 500 police officers in training just near to our compound.  It turns out they are coming from all over our state.  One of our team members was heavily burdened for them and began to pray.  One day we were driving by and there was an overwhelming sense to stop.

So we did and one of our key leaders, John jumped out and went and met the lead commander.  He basically said, where have you been?  We have needed someone to tell us what to do with all the demonic attacks. They invited us to come back and share with all of the students. We took our a team from our Revival School and went and preached there.  495 of the 500 decided to follow Jesus!

We started to return on a regular basis to do outreach there.  The next sunday we went and had our church service there and another member of our team preached powerfully about following Jesus.  Hundreds stood to say they would be willing to give their lives for Jesus.

We returned the following week ready to baptize any who desired such and got quite a surprise.  The commander who had been so welcoming had been transferred and his replacement took ALL of them out except about 25-30 who were sick out into the bush.  It was 2.5 weeks before they returned.

We worshipped with the ones who were present and our students and team prayed for the sick. We found out within a day ALL were completely healed.  News spread out to the bush where the rest of the trainees were and they were not happy they missed out.

Once the rest of them returned, we had a powerful worship time and proceeded to baptize any who wanted to be baptized.  One man had been marked to die from a witchcraft curse, the number 3 appeared on his foot meaning her was 3rd in line to be killed.  Our team prayed and instantly the curse was broken and the number disappeared!

Family Set Free

One of our lead pastors who is also our Yei social worker took us on a home visit to three girls he feared were being abused and might need safe placement.  I had a sense all was not what it would seem when we arrived.

The teenage daughter was accusing her mom of beating her and our leaders were afraid she would turn to prostitution if there was no intervention.  I saw a broken family with the father having died and an overwhelmed hurting mom and everyone needing Jesus.  The baby demonized and had witchcraft charms on her.

I got down in the dirt and held the moms hands and told her about Jesus and his love and how he was right here and wanted to be with her and help her.  We led both mom and daughter to Jesus.   Their countenances instantly changed!  We cut the witchcraft off the baby and prayed freedom over her.

I was able to share about forgiveness with mom and daughter and they forgave one another and invited Jesus into their problems.  It was so beautiful!

This little village will be transformed by a family on the verge of being ripped apart now surrounded by the love of Jesus.  We are in the process of planting a church there with Ide and his leaders.    I can’t wait to return to sit with them and teach them more about Jesus and His love!
