First time at the Mind,Body and Soul fair
7 September , 2010
It was my first time at the Mind Body and Soul Fair. And the experience of seeing Jesus healing people was heightened by the absurdity of the environment. Alongside us, soul pictures in rainbow coloured pastels for R200.00. Opposite a fairy statues stand. Then there was the crystals lady and the two wise looking Asian men wearing gold medallions and selling their guru's latest paperback. People ushered through the tunnel of spiritual experience bringing with them the aroma of mince samosas and incense. The sad irony is that enlightenment came at a price, but we were free, in both senses of the word.
I remember Ron the most. A typical guy. Beige shirt, blue jeans. Not someone you'd expect to find at a New Age Fair. Ron's wrist was bandaged. He couldn't lean on it, make a fist or unscrew a bottle cap. After we commanded the healing once, it still hurt, then we commanded again. Ron said that he could feel vibrations. And then, Ron could lean on it, makea fist and unscrew a carbonated bottle cap. Then we moved onto a disease in both Ron's feet. The latin name escapes me but symptomatically he couldn't feel his feet. So whenever he walked he was numb to his environment. Also, he said that on one part of the foot it felt like when a sock rolls up inside your shoe. Like he was walking on rolled cotton. He said that his friend had the same thing and had to have his foot amputated. So, a pretty serious disease. But we prayed in the name of a pretty serious God. During the process Ron said that if he didn't know better he'd say that we had dipped our hands in ice because he could feel a freezing coolness moving from the base of his foot up to his knees. Jesus healed Ron completely. It was beautiful.

Oncologist amazed
7 September , 2010
I'm a 37 year old local person and just wanted to share a testimony: During one of the School of Supernatural Evangelism sessions someone called for people with blood disorders and problems with their blood to be prayed for. I stood up and was prayed for because I have Stage 3 breast cancer. I receive chemo every Friday and have had significantly deranged blood counts for the past 4 months. (My wcc have been in the region of 0.9 to 2 or so since May and are tested weekly lately.; My hb and many other parameters have been scewed along with the low counts.) I have been having a drug (injections) called Neupogen twice a week that assists in increasing my white blood count at minimum, but the counts have still remained low.
The week after the BSSE I did not have these injections, simply because the oncologist was not around to prescribe it for that week.; The first Friday after the BSSE weekend, my oncologist asked me to please tell him what I did differently that week;because he was totally amazed that my blood counts were all in range and my white cell count was up to 6.7 – unassisted!
I praise God for his awesome healing power!

Ulcer healed
12 July , 2010
I have had difficulties with my stomach for quite a few years now. During her preach one Sunday morning, Helen gave a word of knowledge about someone present at the meeting experiencing a stomach complaint (possibly ulcers) and she described specific symptoms, including stomach pain which wakes them at night. I responded, and as she laid hands on me and prayed for healing, I felt an immediate release from the pain. For the next month or so, I was symptom free.
With the busyness of life, however, came distractions which diverted me from remembering the miracle God had performed in my life. I stopped holding onto the scriptures He’d showed me and began to doubt the whole experience. Gradually my symptoms returned, more intensely than before. Various courses of medication were prescribed which failed to alleviate the pain or treat the problem and eventually the doctor suggested possible ulcerative damage (amongst other things) and recommended further investigations.
Feeling concerned and discouraged, I phoned Helen and asked her to pray for me. On the day of the procedure, I felt a peace and calmness I had never experienced before! For someone like me, finding peace is often an active and continual effort. The procedure went well and as I waited for the results of the tests that night, it was difficult to recognize myself in this place of freedom from all anxiety and worry! The doctor then told me that he had found absolutely nothing wrong with me at all…no inflammation, no lesions, no ulceration – just a perfectly healthy system! I had been healed!
God healed me that very first time Helen prayed for me at church, but I let go of His promise and doubted. I know He performed a miracle in my life. He is my faithful, compassionate and loving father, who looks out for me, takes care of me and is on my side, ‘rooting’ for me – every second of every day!

Ordinary Miracles
4 July , 2010
Something very deep inside of me wants to erupt in galacticly-resonant praise that “the earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof.” (I can hear a song there with a sustained booming bass!) I am His – every part of my life. You too. The whole existence of every man, woman and child on planet earth derives from and is directed towards His glory, whether they know it or not.The early morning wave, westerly-shaped to perfection, back-lit by the rising sun, the mother bonding with her new-born baby, [Read more...]
Wart disappears!
10 June , 2010
Our daughter Je’tiel had a wart burnt off her big toe, however it returned twice its size, about 1.5cm x 1cm and 0.5cm high. That’s pretty big for a 5-year olds toe, and it kept catching on her shoes and bleeding. The doctor said the only solution would be to cut it out again and it would be very painful because it was big and deep. Mandy wanted it to be removed before holidays, Je’tiel was terrified, and I felt it needed to be prayed over first.
Je’tiel is shy but we persuaded her to go up to the front after a service for prayer. Hilton and Tyron prayed for her. Whilst telling the story to her Nanna and Pa, she sighed and said, “they just prayed and prayed and all I wanted was a quick prayer and then to go and play with my friends outside”.
Over the next 3 weeks the wart shrunk and then disappeared completely. All that was left was a faint, slightly pink outline, so that all could see where it had been and how big it was, as a testimony of his power!

TESTIMONIES
of previous school attendees: “This conference will take you back to biblical supernatural ways to love people as Jesus did, as He taught the apostles and as they taught the early church. It was refreshing, blowing off years of religion and dead theology that covered the treasures and reality of God’s word. I was reactivated in the Spirit and received new gifts of the Spirit I never had before. I was freely given the opportunity to operate in these new gifts. I came with some skepticism, knowing nothing about the ministers. God’s Spirit removed all skepticism when I saw that they had God’s heart, the love of Jesus, purity of worship and the anointing on their lives. These people are real, they are biblical. “ – Jason “Awesome, mind blowing, heart changing and challenging. If you want to get ready, be involved and be immersed in what God’s doing in this hour, this school is for you. The school is not just about evangelism, it’s about love, the presence of God and personal transformation and city transformation.” – Anonymous ”If you can go – do so. Your life will be forever changed – starting with your own heart. There are times when we know our lives have been forever changed. This is that. I am feeling, sensing, seeing a whirlwind going out from this place. We have been handed equipment to change regions. It has been beyond my imagination. Thank you.” – Anonymous “[BSSE] gives a completely different look at evangelism. The focus on loves is wonderful and God-centered. Very effective way to reach out; in our five encounters (on the street) no one refused prayer.” – Allan and Jane

Hospital healings
16 March , 2010
On Monday a group of us from Hillside joined some churches that have been working into Macords hospital for the past three and a half years now. One of our encounters was with a guy that had TB. He was looking very weak, but when we started praying life came back into his face. He began to flex his leg and said that the pain he had previously suffered was gone! Then, against his family’s advice, he stood up – he had not been able to do that before. He began to walk around the hospital by himself and gave us all hugs to show his gratitude. He had been healed! In the next bed was a Hindu man, with his entire family around him. Luke, who was part of our praying team, shouted to the whole ward ‘THIS IS FOR EVERYONE!’ The Hindu man responded by saying that he would like some prayer. So Luke and Warren prayed for his diabetes and before long he said that he could feel that the sickness had lifted off him. In front of his entire family, he gave his life to Jesus! WOW! Then we began to pray for the family who were standing around. Jesus duly healed the ingrown toenail of a woman that was meant to get an operation the next day, and reduced the swelling in the leg of another lady who had problems with varicose veins. In fact, we prayed for almost the entire family. It was awesome!
