Testimonies

Healing After 21 Years of Epilepsy

At our healing service in March 2024, a lady in our congregation (Vivien), shared the following testimony:
Vivien and her son, Henri, moved to Franschhoek about two years ago. Her son has had severe medical challenges since he was little, one of which has been epilepsy – for 21 years. He suffered multiple seizures each week. It was so serious that Henri could never be left alone. Vivien even had cameras installed in their home to be able to keep an eye on Henri while she was at work.

The first service Vivien and Henri visited Shofar Fhk, happened to be a healing service. They didn’t know it, but God had a divine appointment with them! Henri received prayer that morning but “felt” no change in his body at the service. In the car after the service, Vivien challenged Henri that they should believe he has been healed, and live that way.

It has been 2 years since that morning and Henri has not had another seizure! God healed Henri and not only that, Vivien removed all the cameras from their home and testified that the intense fear and worry she’s experienced when Henri is alone, is completely gone. God has transformed this whole family! Praise Jesus!

Healing From Hay Fever After 50 + Years: Rian Coetzee

I remember one day coming home from school and feeling so unwell, I really didn’t know what was going on – but my Mum has hay fever as do many of my family – so she knew what it was. It is only if you have hay fever that you know what it is all about and the struggles that you have.

A while back when our church had a healing service I can’t remember if hay fever was mentioned – but I didn’t go up for prayer. However something inside of me said I should stand in faith this time – I didn’t really know why but I felt excited and stirred up that God would heal me. So as I went home from church I said to my wife – I feel we need to stand in faith for me to be healed from hay fever.

It took me a long time to stand up and speak about this as I wasn’t sure if I really was healed – I knew other family members were suffering during the hay fever seasons and I wasn’t – but sometimes hay fever can and come and go and you think you are fine but then the suffering starts again – so in a way I didn’t have the courage to say out loud that God had actually healed me.

But all glory to God – I have been healed for more than two years now! (September 2024)

Healing From Gluten and Dairy Intolerance: Melorie de Villiers

For about eight years, Melorie experienced severe pain whenever consuming gluten or dairy. Here is her testimony:
“We had to completely adjust our lifestyle and eating habits to accommodate this. Whenever I consumed gluten, I would have stomach pain, my entire skin would feel tender, and I’d experience pain on my skin and organs around my midriff. Eating dairy would cause inflammation in my wrists, which interfered with my ability to play the piano, which is my vocation.

One day, during a healing service in 2020 or 2021, Pastor Jolene was leading the service, while I was playing the keyboard as part of the worship team. She encouraged anyone needing healing to ask for prayer, so I decided to pray by myself.

As I prayed, I felt some gurgling in my stomach. After the service, I told my husband, Dirkie, about it, and he suggested we go out for pizza—a meal that would usually cause me intense pain.

We had the pizza, and to my amazement, I felt no pain! After that for a year or two I would occasionally still experience slight discomfort in my abdomen after eating gluten, or when I played too much piano per day, but when I prayed, I reaffirmed the healing, an the pain went away.

Now (2024) I have no more pain eating gluten or dairy.

I thank and praise God for his healing hand and father love.
