Below
is another fascinating story from a reader:
The story that I have copied below is of such an astonishing
nature,
that I sent it out by e-mail to dozens of people, some of whom also
sent it out to dozens more, and some of them sent it out also. This
message went all over the world within a couple of days after I released
it. First, I received a message from a brother in Japan [who translated
for Billy Graham] asking for the address and phone number of the pastor
who conducted this revival. He wanted to get him to Japan to preach
to the unbelievers there. Next I received a similar
request from a lady in Poland, a brother in the Ukraine, one in Australia,
and a pastor in North Carolina.
I received the following message from a brother in Kenya
with whom I have been corresponding for about 18 years. On April 1,
2000, I received a letter in which he wrote:
About the first part of March, 2000, John K. Nduati, a pastor from Nairobi
[the capital of Kenya], came to hold a 4-day crusade in my town, Eldoret,
Kenya. There were very many miracles of healing and the word of knowledge
was flowing freely. We stood in awe and amazement at what God was doing;
the Holy Spirit reigned completely on the crusade ground. I have seen
or read
about men and women of God with gifts of word of knowledge, word of
wisdom, healing, etc.; however, what we saw in pastor Nduati was startling.
What God has given him, I can describe as "a multitude of revelations,"
-words of knowledge and words of wisdom, plus prophecy. Following is
just a little bit of what I witnessed:
On the second night [I missed the first night], there were thousands
of people at the meeting. After the man of God finished his preaching,
he said he wanted to start praying for people. He pointed in one direction
and said, "There is a woman in the direction I am pointing whose
husband is a driver.
Her name is Esther; where is she? [A woman lifted her hand.] Please
come to the front." When the woman came forward, this is what she
was told: "All the time you have been fed with stolen money. Your
husband is a thief. But starting today, your husband will not steel
again."
Then the man of God started calling very many people in the meeting
by their own names -first and last names- to come forward. Where the
names were alike, God would specify which one he wanted. As this continued
for a long time, some people started questioning in their hearts how
the man of God
knew people's names. Then the man of God said, "There is a young
man at the back [he pointed] named John. You have been asking yourself,
`How does he know the names of the people?' Where are you." The
young man lifted his hand and the man of God said, "Come forward,
I will also tell you about yourself."
When Pastor Nduati finished praying for the first group, all of them
received their miracles. Most fell under the power of the Holy Spirit.
Then the pastor stood and said, "There are forty people in this
crusade who have AIDS-HIV positive. Come to the front." He counted
39 as they came; one was missing. Then the pastor stood and said, "There
is a young man back there [pointing] named Philip Ruto. Your girl friend
contacted you with AIDS last
year, and you have refused to come forward." I tell you, when his
name was called, he ran forward. Everybody in the crusade laughed and
clapped. The pastor prayed and the AIDS was gone immediately.
Then the pastor stood and said, "There are fifty women in this
crusade who have no children. Come for prayers." Sixty women came
forward. Then the man of God said, "Look at me. If you are here
and you have no husband, you may go." A few women left. Then he
continued, "If you are a second wife, you can go." One woman
left. Then he continued, "If in the past you have aborted
twice, you may go." As one woman left, the man of God said to her,
"I could not pray for you to have a child because you aborted and
threw your kids into a toilet. One of the kids could have become a preacher.
You must pray and repent for one year before God considers giving you
a child."
Finally, fifty women were left standing. The pastor then told all of
them to move to the right side. Then he said, "If I call your name,
move to the left side." To everybody's amazement, as though the
pastor had a list [he did not have one, he had never met the women],
he started to have a roll call:
Esther, Jane, Chepchumba,........etc. As their names were called, they
moved to the left and thus they were divided into two groups. To one
group, he said, "You, tomorrow start shopping for boys' clothes.
God is going to give you boys. [And to the other group:] You shop for
girls' clothes. God will give you girls.." Then he pointed at one
of the women and said, "With you, you will have to buy clothes
for both a boy and a girl, because you are going to have twins."
Then the man of God prayed for them.
When the pastor finished ministering, he asked how many people wanted
to receive Jesus as their personal savior. About eight hundred people
came and received Christ.
Third Day
This time, there were very many people in attendance. News must have
spread in town about what God was going. After the man of God finished
his preaching, he started ministering as he had done on the previous
days. From among the thousands, very many people were called by their
own names. Many AIDS cases and other problems were healed. Following
are three cases which I
would like to report:
1. The man of God stood and said, "There is a woman in the direction
I am pointing who has a son studying for a Master's degree in America.
You have not heard from him for one month, and you have been wondering
what is wrong. Lift up your hand, because I have just received information
from America."
The woman lifted her hand. Then the pastor said, "There has been
a problem. Your son has been sick, but from this time, which is 10 a.m.
American time, your son has received instant healing." This time,
the woman who had been called, happened to be our family's friend. We
also know her son whose name is Mark. What the man of God had said was
true. She shed many tears of joy.
2. Another case: The man of God stood and said, "There is a woman
in the direction I am pointing who does not have a child. The one you
have living with, you bought. Who are you?" The woman refused to
lift her hand. Then the man of God called her by her name and said,
"I want to pray for you to have your own child. The child you are
living with was sold to you by nurses at
Eldoret District Hospital. You paid 12000 schillings. I now want to
tell you that the real parents of the kid will come for it next Tuesday
at 10:05 a.m." Two days ago, I met a sister who was with the relatives
of the woman and they have confirmed what Pastor Nduati said.
3. Then the man of God stood and said, "There is a man who was
sent in the morning by Satan to come and test me. When he arrived, Satan
told him not to be afraid, but to move forward and do his disruptions.
Well, he is here now, but all his powers are gone." To everybody's
amazement, the man went forward, knelt down and the pastor prayed for
him. He received Christ.
That night, when the pastor asked those who wanted to receive Christ,
thousands lifted their hands.
Day 4
Things continued as on the previous day. I wish I could report to you
everything, but I can only report a few cases.
During this day, several blind people received their sight. They walked
home by themselves. Then several cripples walked. There was a lot of
commotion as people sang and danced for joy. They clapped their hands
and praised God.
One woman who was lame and could now walk, took the microphone. She
led the people in singing and jumping for the Lord. She could really
jump high. People cheered the more.
Robbers
Then the man of God started calling by name those robbers who were in
the crusade. He even told when and where they stole, the name of their
gang and their gang leader. Many came and received Christ.
Pastor Nduati has a licence from the police to collect illegal fire
arms. Those who surrender and receive Christ in his meetings are never
arrested. [My friend, Joseph Wangigi, who wrote the above letter, inclosed
a picture of Pastor Nduati holding a pistol which was surrendered to
him by a thug.]
Many people received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
The crusade was scheduled to last four days, but people refused to let
Pastor Nduati go back to Nairobi. People said they would pay his air
fare if he would extend the crusade by one day. He accepted and the
people became "wild." with enthusiasm. They cheered, shouted,
jumped, and praised God. Again, there were more people attending the
5th day then the previous days. The ministry that I have described continued.
Many healed, many needs met. At the end of the 5th day, when people
realized that Pastor Nduati was going back to Nairobi, mobs ran after
him to "touch his clothes," and they were receiving healing.
He had to be whisked away by his security escorts. Otherwise, people
were refusing to release him.
Before I conclude, let me tell you a few more things about pastor Nduati.
He is a young man, and when he wanted to get married, he told God, "Father,
I want to get married. There are many girls. I don't know what to do."
Then God told him, "Get your vehicle and drive to Nyeri [a town
about 100 kilometers from Nairobi]. When you reach Nyeri, go to Nyeri
District Hospital. Outside the gate, you will find a woman sitting down.
That is your wife." The pastor did that and outside the gate of
the hospital, he saw a
woman doctor sitting. He greeted her and said, "I have been told
you are my wife." The woman simply replied, "Yes, there is
not problem. I will be your
wife." Today, she is the pastor's wife.
As a result of Pastor Nduati's meeting last Sunday, the churches in
Eldoret were full to capacity because of the very many people who had
made commitments to following Jesus at the crusade [including my church].
Glory to God.
Pastor Nduati is having the same problem at his church in Nairobi. His
church is full to overflowing, and there is not enough room for all
of the people. He doesn't know what kind of a church building to build.
Pastor Nduati has promised to come back to our town of Eldoret on June
23, 2000. From what I see, I perceive that God is doing something new
in his church.
Let us be ready to receive his blessings.
- end of letter from Joseph Wangigi of Eldoret, Kenya -
Pastor John K. Nduati can be reached
at: P.O. Box 6109, Nairobi, Kenya
About a month later, Joseph Wangigi wrote and added the following about
Pastor Nduati:
Last year [1999], Pastor Nduati was conducting a meeting in the Netherlands
when met a young black man from Swaziland, South Africa, who had the
AIDS disease. Pastor Nduati took him and healed him. The young man returned
to Swaziland and told his father about what had happened to him. His
father was
the king of Swaziland. He sought out Pastor Nduati and invited him to
conduct a crusade in his country. The king sponsored or hosted the meeting
in one of the biggest gathering places in the nation, and God blessed.
