Our Heavenly Father is a Gentleman!
Testimonies from 10 Days of Prayer
The 10 Days of Prayer was such a blessing to me. I have been personally revived and my relationship with God has grown as a result. Also my faith has increased and I have realized that the way God speaks to me is not always the same as how He speaks to His other children. But one special thing I’ve discovered is that our heavenly Father is a gentleman. – O.S. from Botswana
Last year during 10 Days of Prayer, my friend Alicia prayed for five specific individuals to come to Christ. God answered many of her prayers, but one name on her list, her sister, had not responded. This year during the 10 Days of Prayer, Alicia’s sister came to the prayer meetings and surrendered herself to Jesus. Now she is taking Bible studies and preparing for baptism. Also, two other individuals that attended the 10 Days of Prayer meetings have also committed to baptism. We just praise God for His work and for the 10 Days of Prayer ministry. We all truly experienced a deeper experience with Jesus as we came together to pray. - J.J. from North Carolina, USA
During these 10 Days of Prayer I have grown so much spiritually. It is true that prayer brings us closer to God. Because of these 10 Days of Prayer, I now have a closer relationship with God. To be honest, I wasn’t doing so well spiritually before this, but these days of prayer have really renewed me spiritually and given me courage and strength to keep pressing forward. I’ve also been so strengthened hearing the testimonies of others, and now I have the desire to pray for others. – P.S. from Zimbabwe
Since the summer of 2018, I have been suffering from a terrible skin irritation. I have consulted different medical doctors but without relief. After using different kinds of ointments, my condition only got worse. Finally I decided to contact a lifestyle facility. In September 2018, I went to a lifestyle center for assistance. While I did everything faithfully, I only found temporary relief. I was discouraged and didn’t know what to do. In January, while on Facebook, I saw the advertisement for 10 Days of Prayer. I participated daily with my family, reading the materials, and interceding in prayer for immediate and extended family members, church members, the global Church, communities, etc. While I was praying for others, God heard my own prayer. I have been healed! To God be the glory. – M.A. from New York, USA
Last year during 10 Days of Prayer, I had ten prayer requests on my list. God has been so faithful and has already answered seven of those requests. He even added an extra blessing that I didn’t pray for. He is so good. Because of His endless love, I know He will answer my remaining three requests in His time. – J.M. from Kenya
