SPECIAL EVENTS

Then the Bishop invited for a prayer those who wanted to start a new life with the Lord Jesus Christ extending the invitation to the bishops present to minister a cry out to God on behalf of those who were sick, ill and crippled. After the prayer, testimonies were collected and Mr.
Josenildo da Costa, 45, came to the vigil with back pain and paralysed legs.
“For the past 3 years, I have been using a walking stick after a fall, but after the prayer I am healed” testified. At the foot of a huge cross erected at the centre of the stage, bishops made
a prayer for families and requests brought to the altar. Following this, the multitude participated of the bread and fi sh symbolizing the miracle of Jesus in the spirit that through faith they would cease misery in their life.

Around 11:30pm, Bishop Macedo asked the multitude to form a human chain by holding hands and gave start to the biggest deliverance prayer in the whole world. The bishops prayed against envy, curses, bad luck, witchcraft and determined that all evil was undone from the life of those present, in the Name of Jesus Christ.

The Bishop’s last prayer was for God’s protection upon His people, blessed the multitude and
fi nished the Vigil. The event is a landmark for the history of the UCKG in this 30 years of celebration and will be a turning point in the life of many who attended to it for the first time.
