Rooted in Jesus personal testimonies
'The group members have long testimonies and many verses that were memorize in their studies. I wrote in short their testimonies, otherwise I can use many pages for their testimonies.' Revd Michael Samuel, Group coordinator, Diocese of Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. Ester Ngau One day when I came back from the Church to study the Word of God my son started to cry continuously all the night cried. Next day my husband and brother in law told me that am better to take the son to witchdoctor because he want grandfather name. I refused completely to go with my son to witchdoctor because I trust Jesus. After two days when my husband make preparation to find hen to go with it in witchdoctor I attended the SOMA lesson, when the time of prayer started I told my group members about my problem they pray for my son, from that time my son stopped to cry. I told my husband that my son stopped to cry because we pray for him in the Church. From that time my husband give me more time to attend the SOMA lessons Elizabeth Hudati SOMA lesson help me to understand the Word of God as well, because we learn many things and we tried to define some difficult questions and we got the real answers. In the beginning don't understand the word of God as well several time I was fall in sin some time with servants of God that have bad character. One day the servants of God came to our Boma after praying in night the servant of God told me to make sex with him I told him that this is sin and every time you preached why you convince me to do it? He told me that this is not sin because the Bible says that " Do not deny yourselves to each other" 1Corrinth 7:5. I was agreed to make sex because who was telling me is the servant of God who knows, as well about Bible, but now I can't do like that because I know that verse is special for people who married. When she explains this she was crying continuously. James 4: 7. Miriam Saramba For long time I was disturbing in diseases, but when I started to learn the Word of God through SOMA I feel free from that problems. I met with Jesus in our studying because every time we were praying by one another in our group, thank Jesus for your healing and deliverance. Luke 9: 1-2. Abraham Dani For long time ago I was fear as well about witchdoctor to destroy my animals and my children and everything that I had, but when I started to learn the Word of God I don't fear anything. I have power to invite my friends, who we are the same age to come to Jesus, because I understand and I trust in him that there is no name has power than Jesus Christ. Jesus is my protector with all that he gave me. John 20: 28-29.
Katarina Lemburis I learnt that Jesus is like ferry and gate if I can live in him I will be safe, he will help me to pass in different temptations, through him I don't fear anything, Jesus is my bridge he will carry me to God. John 10:9. Simon Msonde Before to receive my life to Jesus I had one big problem, my problem was angry. Every day I was quarrel with others and my wives, but since I started to learn the Word of God and to repent this sin I feel free. Now I have peace and joy to all and my friends they wonder as well and my wives trust that real Jesus has power and all of them are in SOMA group. Leah Yakobo More than five years I live with my husband without to get a baby. But when I started to learn the Word of God, I don't feel well because always I was feeling about baby. One day I ask my group members to pray for my problem I remember very much the time of my group members were pray for me, from that time I conceived and now I have a baby. I thank God and I thank to all who made preparation of this SOMA lesson. John 16: 24. Paulina Msonde In beginning before SOMA I was dreaming bad things always I was met with bad snakes in my dreaming and the day light real I was meeting with that snakes I was saw in the night. But when I started to learn the lesson through SOMA I dreaming about heaven and I meet with angels, I don't see again any kind of snakes, I can't leave this lesson forever I will learn the word of God. 1 Corinth 10: 13. Laurent Mahika I attend to Church for long time I don't know about the nature of sin but through SOMA I understood as well I fear very much to fall in sin because the sin will separate me with God. Romans 6: 23. Isaiah Chambala (Group coordinator, Arusha deanery) From these and many stories I am made rich in the Lord. And that's why to me this coordination has been a way to serving the Lord that much I am myself get blessed and encouraged as well as my spiritual life is challenged and made strong. I can say that through this I am balanced between my theological education and my spiritual practical life. Testimonies from group members in Blantyre, Malawi: Rooted in Jesus has helped me know the Bible and stand firm in my faith. I work for a Muslim factory owner and the Muslims in my factory try and get the Christians to convert. Before Rooted in Jesus I didn’t know how to cope with this but now I can teach the other Christians in the factory the memory verse and help them to stand firm in their faith” Rooted in Jesus has helped me to develop my preaching so that I can explain the Bible better and use the Bible better when I preach. Before Rooted in Jesus I wasn’t interested in reading the Bible or prayer – now I read the Bible and trust God every day. Before Rooted in Jesus group I didn’t recognise Satan’s schemes against me. But now I know it is real and I can overcome them through Jesus.
