Nigeria 2026

The team who have just returned from Nigeria: Jan, Sharon, Rachel, Steve, Gwen and Rob, Debbie and Barbara want to thank you for your prayer support having been in a nation which has significant lawlessness and is definitely not safe, yet because of your prayers we felt very safe. We ministered to 1008 people and saw many of them receive inner healing. This side of heaven we will not see the benefit of the ministry, but we saw enough that the organisers were amazed at the Lord's goodness to all the people to whom we ministered. We just reflect all the glory to Jesus, who is the author and perfecter of our faith.

There were 4 areas of ministry: Widows, Pastors and Leaders, War Survivors and Addicts in a Rehabilitation Centre.

Firstly, we ministered to 329 widows on our first Sunday afternoon and we hugged and prayed laying hands on all of them. They left after worshipping and dancing in very high spirits, and we saw their countenance change.

Secondly, we ministered to 90 pastors for 3 days from around the area of persecution many of whom have been attacked by Fulani Herdsmen, Boko Haram and other bandits.  Their lives are very hard and yet they come and worship the Lord and we saw their joy!

A small selection of testimonies from this conference:

A young man: Came to the conference last year. He had conflict with his sister and had not spoken to her for 8 years. When he nailed his forgiveness to the cross last year, he knew something changed. In December she called him and they reconciled. His spirit was lifted, he said "I can now minister to people who struggle with what I struggled with. I am now free."

A young man: His church is full of hurts, wounds and bitterness. He came on the course last year. He took the teaching back and ran a course like this in his church, including nailing forgiveness on the cross. The bitterness and divisions in the church were healed, and it is still in unity.

A young man: He has long had a problem/pain in his body. Yesterday during the prayer led from the front, he was told to touch the area where the pain was. The pain went.

A young man: has recently been transferred to a new position/placement which has really challenged his faith. He saw people massacred like animals and his student's made orphans, deeply traumatised because they had seen their parents butchered. He felt angry with God. Right from the first session, God started to deal with him, he had to forgive himself and realise God is still God. He spoke to the bishop on the phone and said one of the best things ever done for him was to allow him to come here. "It's as if the conference was made for me".  Many more testimonies were given.

Thirdly, we ministered to what started with 100 people on the first day, but this rose to 549 on the second day. They Lord just brought them and touched most of them with His healing.

We taught on anger and these were the areas they stated that made them angry which gives you a taste of what they are suffering:

The Fulani - burnt my house and took all my food, The Fulani killed my brother and burnt my brother, The Fulani Burnt my house, The Fulani killed my father and took all I have, I am angry with Fulani. - they burnt 8 of our villages we can't not return, They chased me from my house, My husband went to check our house and they killed him, They killed my son, my husband and my younger sister I don't have anywhere to sleep I want the Fulani to disappear, Fulani killed my husband - they burnt the house and took all I have. I have nothing, Fulani killed my husband, Fulani killed my younger brother, I am angry with the government and the soldiers who did nothing to protect me, they killed my son, my younger brother. I went to harvest bananas and they killed them, I don't want to see them (the Fulani) and I am angry with them, Destroyed my farm produce - last Friday they killed my uncle - they cut off his head and burnt his body, I am angry with the government - they are not helping!

Testimonies from this conference: 

• A young lady: This morning when I woke up I am feeling better

• A young lady: Could not sleep but after the meeting she went home and slept well

• A young man: I was transferred to a church that was burnt to the ground. It has been very hard to sleep but after teaching I have slept soundly.

• A young lady:  After the teachings yesterday, I went back home and slept. I have not slept well for a long time. I read my bible and then slept. I woke up at 5am and prayed.

 

• A young lady:  I lost everything, but I am feeling better now

• A Pastor:  I went home and lay down and slept - thank you for this teaching

 

• A young lady:  Her father was killed and since then she couldn't sleep. Last night she was able to sleep

• A Pastor:  I felt as though I was going to die but with these prayers I feel I have peace of mind

 

• A young man - said he was happier than everyone because 'this teaching has impacted me and touched my heart' When the Fulani people chased us out - I vowed I must kill them. But when I heard the teaching and I have left everything in the hands of God.

Finally, we ministered to 40 addicts who were also mostly war survivors in a Rehabilitation Centre for 4 days and 37 of them gave their lives to Jesus on the second day. The Lord was working miracles in their lives and some testimonies are below:

• About 20 sleeping better after first day

• A young man - I want to appreciate God and all he had done for me. I was carrying things inside me and when I received prayer they all left me. I have been carrying this weight since 2014. I have been struggling to know how to get rid of this pain until yesterday. Being here has given us hope and freedom thanks be to God.

 

• A young lady - I thank you because I couldn't forgive or forget - I was always angry, but I have forgiven my mother, and God has changed my life

• A young man - I want to thank God - to share from the blessing I have received. Before I got here, I was really grieving- the Fulani took all our food and destroyed our community. I hated the Fulani. But I have begun to see the light of God and have been liberated from the darkness . I have been able to forgive the Fulani. I also feel that I have received forgiveness as well. I also appreciate the Flame ministry. Please Pray for us - please do not forget to pray us

• A young lady - I want to appreciate God almighty.  We know that we are all humans and always fall short but through this programme our eyes have been opened to so many things. We don't know what to say to Flame and we pray that God will continue to guide you

• A young lady - I don't know where to start - I used to be a very angry person - I used to snap. I have been carrying so many people in my heart - so heavy.  I just felt a weight drop from me. I felt to call people and tell them how I feel. To bless them and to love them. We don't want the Flame team to go. I have taken a lot of alcohol but after the prayers I have stopped now. I want to encourage my brothers to stop too.

 

• A young man - before I came here, I was doubting - why I am going there. I said to God if it's your will let it be done. I wanted to live like a new man. If I perish, I perish, if I live if I live. If it's your will let it be done. Last night when I slept, I could feel changes in me. They exposed some secrets - some good teachings. I feel like I am not the Kingsley I used to know. Something came out of me - it's as if I can fly now. We know that Jesus is the only solution.

• A young man- I came here a very grieving and heavy person - a very heavy load for me. I have had the most amazing 4 days of my life. For so many years I have carried such a load and now I have managed to get rid of this load.

37 Giving their lives to Jesus

The team are so grateful to you for your prayers, because without Him we could do nothing! We were carried by your prayers, we received many words and scriptures, and we are aware the Lord did so much. It is like having a field team (us) and you the home team; we work together and stay in unity, and the Lord receives the glory. We know unity commands a blessing! We witnessed it in Nigeria!
