“After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands.” (Revelation 7:9)

The city of Baleguian is surrounded by large forests. These woods, far from other humans, is the home of a native people that goes by the name “the black people”. Their appearance is similar to the aborigines in Australia, and they make their living by hunting and fishing. They worship the spirits of their fathers, and if they don’t they will be cursed by the same spirits they now worship.

Prior to the revival meetings in Baleguian, the church that hosted the meetings drove through town in a truck and advertised them with a speaker. Among other things they told there would be praying for the sick. Some from the black people heard about this, and several of them therefore attended the meetings. They heard the gospel of Christ, and they all got saved! My interpreter, who was a pastor, was enthused! He kept repeating that this was a miracle! This was the first time anyone from the black people attended a meeting, and the first time someone from this people received Christ!

What grace from God to be allowed to harvest a people earlier unreached with the gospel!

After praying with people to salvation, it was time to pray for sickness and other unmet needs. A mother from the black people came to us with her son, a four or five year old. He had suffered from stomach pain for some time, and no one had been able to help him. We prayed in the name of Jesus, and the boy was momentarily healed. His mother loudly expressed joy and excitement. The mother was also healed from poor sight, and received normal eyesight!

The black people had lived in fear of evil spirits. They have now come to faith in Jesus, who saves, sets people free from evil spirits and heals. This people will one day stand before Christ with the other tribes and people on earth and worship He who purchased them free!
