Flame team in Nzara, South Sudan

By Jan Ransom, Flame International

To Him who is able to do immeasureably more than we ask or imagine..." Ephesians 3:20

Thank you to all of you who prayed for the Flame team in Nzara, South Sudan. The team stand in awe of the Lord who brought healing spiritually, emotionally and physically to hundreds of people of the area. We arrived to be told by the Bishop that the people of Nzara had lost hope due to the lack of action by the Sudanese Government and the constant killings by the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). When we left, there was very definitely hope and a desire to press on towards the goal which is heavenwards!

Each day people testified to being healed and one man who had a very bad back did some press-ups as his testimony!  Adam, a young man who had had a motorcycle accident, was crippled in his hip and knee and had to use a crutch. He was healed and he no longer uses his crutch! On the final day of the conference there was a real out pouring of grief after one of the team had a word of knowledge about grief and the programme was changed to teach on grief. Many of the widows were finally able to grieve and they witnessed that their lives were transformed in the process; one lady was going to get out of her mourning clothes which was a miracle in itself!

The team taught on forgiveness in four churches on the Sunday and then prayed with hundreds of people for healing afterwards. We know the Lord has touched so many people.

We had an extraordinary time with the military, where we spent 2 days teaching and prayed with about 80 soldiers. Over half of them returned the next day and we were informed that a man who had been paralysed down his left side had been partially healed. Another who had been unable to run had been healed and had run that morning with his troops. We pressed for more testimonies and they said that they had ALL been healed in some measure! We also heard poignant stories of forgiveness as they came to the cross to forgive. About 27 people in a village had been killed because a candidate at the recent election had lost and revenge was taken. the perpetrator was forgiven!  Another had lost 2 children to the hands of LRA and he chose to forgive them. The stories were all real and the Lord helped people to forgive. One man stood up and said he could never forgive the Sudanese Government for the atrocities it had undertaken. We pray that he will be able to forgive and were encouraged that he had been so honest.

Bless you for your prayers- we as a team saw the glory of the Lord! Without home prayer support we would not have had the experience of the Lord's anointing on all the ministry.
