Mtendere, Zambia

Operation Decapolis – Zambia

Jesus Gives Peace

Mtendere is a densely populated part of Lusaka, Zambia’s capital. Interestingly, Mtendere means “peace” in the local dialect. During our Decapolis Initiative, the people who live there came face-to-face with the giver of peace Himself – Jesus! In this bustling part of the city, it was Evangelists Jacob Ebersole and Evelina Smane who carried the lion’s share of the preaching for this 5-night campaign.

Right from the start, God moved in power, healing and delivering people in the most wonderful ways. Every single night of a Gospel Campaign follows roughly this format: We praise the Lord, we preach the Gospel, we call sinners to repent, and we pray for the sick expecting them to be healed. What a privilege it is to witness the tidal wave of salvations and miracles that follows! When the Gospel is preached, the Lord confirms His word with signs and wonders. Here are just a few of the many testimonies that were shared from the stage in Mtendere.

Testimonies

Here are a few of the powerful highlights that took place in the Mtendere, Zambia!

When she got home, her sight cleared, and her headache and eye pain disappeared. On the second night, she testified of her miracle, declaring, “I am so happy, I can reach the sky!”

Because of a tumour in her stomach, this woman had not been able to eat solid food for almost six months. When the evangelists prayed for the sick on night two, she felt something happening inside her body. That night, she went home and ate a big meal, with no pain whatsoever! She came to give God the glory publicly the next night.
This woman had problems with both of her legs for many years, forcing her to walk very slowly. By the time she arrived at the campaign grounds, she felt very weak.
This woman had problems with both of her legs for many years, forcing her to walk very slowly. By the time she arrived at the campaign grounds, she felt very weak. Then, while Evelina was praying, she felt power coursing through her legs and strength returning to her body. She realized she could stand and even kneel without pain! Jesus healed her!
