Wilson and Vincent and their mission to Kilifi


Vincent and Wilson are two young men with a lot of faith.  You can listen to Wilson’s testimony in an earlier blog post HERE in which he talks about his salvation earlier this year, and the amazing things that God has done in his life.

Praying for Wilson and Vincent as they are sent out.


Here is Wilson’s report:

During our three day mission, Vincent and I felt led by the Lord to go to Kilifi.  In Kilifi, we preached the gospel of Jesus Christ in the streets, from door to door, in the Kilifi District hospital and in the church. 

When we first arrived in Kilifi, we had an opportunity to pray for a man on the streets whose hand was injured by an accident.  After pray in for him we proceeded to the Kilifi district hospital.  We prayed for the sick children there, and six of them were instantly healed.   We also prayed with a woman with chest problems who gave her life to Christ, and told us her story.

This woman is married to a witchdoctor.  This man has been pressuring her to give up one of their children as a sacrifice to the devil, so that he can obtain more spiritual power for his business.   The woman was resisting this pressure, and she felt that her sickness was caused by her husband, as a way of trying to force her to do what he wanted her to do.   We prayed for her to be delivered from these evil spirits and their plans to murder her child. 

We continued on, preaching publicly about the love of God in the market place and at the boda boda stage.  Many people listened to our words, and many were blessed.    One young man came and told us that he wants salvation, but he feared his friends.  We were not able to pray with him. 

When evening came we started looking for a place to sleep.  We were finally offered a room to sleep in by the AIC church (African Inland Church).  A prayer meeting was taking place there, which we attended until 2am, after which we slept.

On Saturday morning, we began preaching door to door.  Many of the people we spoke to were already Christians, so we prayed for them and moved on.  One young man was a barber.  He was very happy to here us speaking about God’s love and salvation, and he gave his life to Christ. 

We moved once again to Kilifi district hospital whereby we were very happy to hear many people talking and testifying about the healings that took place in their lives after we prayed for them the day before.  Most of the ones testifying to us were parents whose children we had prayed for.  Their testimonies lifted our faith and even our salvation greatly.   Many of those we prayed for had returned home the same day because of their healing.  We continued sharing the word of God and praying for people until late in the afternoon. 

On Sunday morning, we visited the church service at the AIC church.  We were asked to pray for the people there.  When we finished, we asked all the women and children whom we prayed for to testify.  They all testified of the healing power and change that they observed taking place in their lives. 

The woman whose husband was a witchdoctor came with her daughter to be prayed for at the hospital.  The daughter had a lot of pains and wounds on her legs.  Her chest was heavy and her stomach was aching.  We were able to pray for her deliverance and her healing.  She was instantly healed.  She immediately testified when we prayed a fire came into her body and consumed all the pain and it was no more. 

After we left the hospital we approached a young man who was selling shoes.  He told us that his family members are devil worshippers who wanted to give him as a sacrifice to the devil.  He was in fear for his life.  We prayed for him, and he gave his life to Christ. 


All in all, we saw God’s favor upon the mission.  Our only difficulty was finding a good place to sleep.  We only wish we had been given more time to continue preaching to the people in Kilifi.
