Testimony
Dr. John Chacha, as a
teenager in Kenya, gave his life to Jesus against his parents' wishes. His
father wanted to kill him but could not because of supernatural intervention.
"I remember", John explains, "my father raising a big stick to
hit me on my head after I refused to denounce my faith, but the stick couldn't
touch my head. The power of God was all
over me so that when he tried to hit me, the stick bounced back. It was as if some magnetic force repelled
the stick in the opposite direction before it could touch me. This happened
three times!”
“Through
God’s power I broke the generational curse in my family, especially the spirit
of poverty, ignorance and ancestral worship. A few years later, the Lord saved
my life from the hands of Idi Amin's soldiers who wanted to kill me when I was
on a mission in Uganda.
