Oom Abe had been bound by arthritis and back pain, could not do simple house chores, with no hope until three Charis Bible College students; Mary, Gladys and Nozuko; knocked on his door one drizzling Thursday morning.
We shared the good news of God’s grace from the word of God, how Jesus has paid for our sins and sicknesses at the cross and that God wants him well. God is a good Father who never puts sicknesses on us to punish us or to teach us something.
We commanded the pain to leave, and he was instantly healed. He could walk, run and bend with no pain. He was crying tears of joy as we left him to set other captives free.
When we saw him a month later, he was working in his garden and still thanking God for his healing.
Glory to God!

Charis Bible College first year program sets a foundation on the word of God – on who we are in Christ and the true nature of God. The second year builds on that foundation with programs aimed to help the students apply and share what they have learnt.
Every Thursday, the second year students participate in a ministry program such as street evangelism, hospital ministry, prison ministry and spiritual guidance ministry at a local school. A foreign mission trip is a prerequisite for second year graduation.
