Jesus Heals as the People Rejoice
Greetings from your family and church members here in Imphal.
I arrived home last night from P. Thianzawl Youth Conference. Today Lolly’s father had another operation so we are all busy in the hospital.
The Youth Conference/Seminar was great, many youths from different villages attended.
Many other people from the nearby villages came for the seminars. We were a bit tired as we preached day and night. About 64 people got saved during the conference.
There were four men from Sagolmang village who came and met me at the Youth Conference. These four men told me that during our Crusade at Imphal they were in Imphal looking after one very seriously sick man in the hospital. The sick person they were looking after was suffering from a lung problem. He was very sick and weak. The doctor told them to go home as they could not do much since the sickness was too chronic and no medicine could help him. Therefore, he was discharged from the hospital. They knew that there was the Festival of Hope and Peace crusade in Imphal so the sick man urged that he should be brought to the crusade. Since he was so weak they did not want to bring him, but he was persistent and at last they brought him. They said that on that night, Papa Joe was teaching songs to the audience, “Rejoice in the Lord” and they all learned the song. The sick man was so interested that he, too, learned. They were all amazed as to how this person who was so very weak could learn with so much enthusiasm, forgetting all his sickness. One of his friends asked him (the sick man) "do you want us to take you back? You are too weak," but the sick man replied, "NO! No, I am enjoying the angels singing together with me." Then a very strange thing happened. It seemed he could move more freely. After the message of sister Suzette, Papa Joe came down to the people and when he prayed for him, the man got healed.
Soon after Papa Joe prayed for him, his friends said, "now lets go," but the man said "no I’m enjoying this. I’m staying here." Again, he felt touched in his body. However, they forced him and took him by the hand and went back home.
At night, he said that he felt strong and the pain in his body had gone. The next day, his friends took him home in a bus. They arrived at 6pm in their village. Some of the villagers came and met them at the bus station. Then that night the man had a dream. In the dream, Papa Joe again prayed for him and while Papa Joe was praying for him, he saw a light from above and immediately he got up and there was absolutely no pain in his body. He is now completely healed and he does not take any medicine now. He is totally free from all sickness. He then gave his life to Christ and is now eagerly waiting to meet Papa Joe when he comes back to Manipur.
Last night, as soon as I arrived home, I received a phone call from Churachandpur. A woman told me that she had been waiting for me to come to Churachandpur so that she could give a report. Since I had not gone there, she phoned me. The woman told me that she had been suffering from liver problems. Her liver had swollen and she could not eat food. Her eyes had become yellow and she even sometimes vomited blood. She was extremely weak and very thin. She went to the doctor and the doctor prescribed her medicines, but she could not afford to buy it because it was too expensive. She was a very poor woman. She was only waiting to give up her last breath. Her poor husband and children could not help her. By God’s grace she came to our crusade in Churachandpur, with the help of her husband and children. The woman said to me, “when Papa Joe laid his hand on me and prayed for me, I believed I would surely be healed." But she did not immediately feel anything.
However, she had great hope and faith that she would be healed. She has known about Papa Joe for many years, and about his work in Manipur. That night, she was taken home by her dear husband and children. Then, at night, she felt something in her heart telling her, "You are healed." Immediately, she woke up and then woke her whole family. They sat together, thanking God for His healing power.
The next day morning, she woke up with a cheerful heart and sound health. Now she doesn't have to buy any medicine as she is healed by the blood of Jesus through Papa Joe’s prayer. The woman's name is Mrs Khumi. Last week she went to the hospital and told the other patients that if they really wanted to get healed from their sickness, the only way is Jesus. She told the patients and doctors in the hospital that she was healed by the blood of Jesus and through the prayer of Papa Joe. She said Papa Joe's ministry in Manipur is a rescue operation for all the poor and needy people in Manipur. It is Papa Joe, being used by Jesus, who helps thousands upon thousands of poor, hungry and needy people in Manipur. Manipur needs Papa Joe. Then the woman told me on the phone that they will always pray for Papa Joe, his family and his ministry. She said that she also prays for sister Suzette.
Tomorrow the State is having a great festival, a Christian festival, with all our government ministers and high officials, including our governor who will be participating in this festival. People from all corners will be participating and the state announced a holiday in view of this Christian festival. They have asked me to open this festival with a word of prayer. I was selected by the many high officials to grace this festival with a word of prayer.
We always keep praying for you. We also never forget to pray for your trip to the United States.
The building construction is continuing and we bought the steel pipe for the roof of the Diplomat Centre. We still need money for the roof and for finishing the first floor. We also need timber planks to make the first floor doors.
We love you Papa, and we keep praying for you. We are looking forward to hearing from you and seeing you in January. Bless you papa.
