Felister's Story - A Miracle in Migori

Friends of Jesus Ministries has organized an urban - rural mission which takes place in the Migori District every year. Last June, we went to Migori for a youth seminar. God was preparing a certain lady for a miracle. She had no idea that her time for the miracle had arrived and God had heard her prayer. Her name was called Felister, a young lady of 25 years old. She came to our seminar and started helping with cooking and fetching water. The poor lady had a growth in her uterus which weighted 10 kgs. She has been in this situation for more than six years. She was hopeless and desperate. Doctors said that she only had few days to survive or live. There were many stories said about Felister's sickness; some said it was a curse, while others said that she was bewitched. People never bothered taking her to the hospital. When we interviewed her about her sickness, she never said anything, but we could only see tears. Oh God, have mercy upon this lady. I thank God for touching the hearts of my team from U.S.A who tirelessly wrote e-mail to their churches and friends to raise contributions towards Felister's treatment. We brought her to Karen hospital, Nairobi where the surgery was done. Thank God for she is healed and can smile. Felister tells her story of how God healed her. She is not well educated for she comes from a poor background in the Western province of Kenya. She got married at the early age of fifteen years old working as house girl in one of the villages in Nyanza province. Her husband also comes from a poor background and never went beyond standard eight. They narrated their stories as they sat outside their 10 by 10 feet thatched hut. It is the only thatched house in the village. Felister always complains of their house leaking during the rainy season. They have six children who have an interval of one year in between their ages. They are expecting the seventh child by the month of November. “I thank God so much for taking my distress and saving my life" said Felister. "I was humiliated, helpless and desperate. For me to live it was only God" she added. She thanks Friends of Jesus Ministries for their missions in rural for taking her to the hospital with the team. "Pastor Mike, God bless you! May you continue with what you are doing by reaching to the hopeless people like us. It is our prayers for you to build a hospital for us in the village with your team." said Felister. My brethren, God has called us to minister his Good News to the lost, to help the poor. Remember Jesus preaching to a multitude of 5000 people and feeding them. Let's open our hearts and reach to the helpless with the word and whatever God may give us to give. God bless you. Pastor Mike
