Startling Miracles in
By Joseph Wangigi
In March of 2000, this
message was written and sent to me in handwritten form from
In the first part of March,
2000, John K. Nduati, a pastor from
On the second night
[I missed the first night], there were thousands of people at the meeting.
After the man of God finished his preaching, he said he wanted to start praying
for people. He pointed in one direction and said, "There is a woman in the
direction I am pointing whose husband is a driver. Her name is Esther; where is
she? [A woman lifted her hand.] Please come to the front." When the woman
came forward, this is what she was told: "All the time you have been fed
with stolen money. Your husband is a thief. But starting today, your husband
will not steal again."
Then the man of God started
calling very many people in the meeting by their own names –first and
last names– to come forward. Where the names were alike, God would specify
which one he wanted. As this continued for a long time, some people started
questioning in their hearts how the man of God knew people’s names. Then
pointing, the man of God said, "There is a young man at the back named
John. You have been asking yourself, `How does he know the names of the
people?’ Where are you." The young man lifted his hand and the man of God
said, "Come forward, I will also tell you about yourself."
When Pastor Nduati finished
praying for the first group, all of them received their miracles. Most were so
overcome by the power of the Holy Spirit that they fell down. Then the pastor
stood and said, "There are forty people in this crusade who have AIDS–HIV
positive. Come to the front." He counted 39 as they came; one was missing.
Then the pastor stood and said, "There is a young man back there
[pointing] named Philip Ruto. Your girl friend contacted you with AIDS last year,
and you have refused to come forward." I tell you, when his name was
called, he ran forward. Everybody in the crusade laughed and clapped. The
pastor prayed, and the AIDS was gone immediately.
Then the pastor stood and
said, "There are fifty women in this crusade who have no children. Come
for prayers." Sixty women came forward. Then the man of God said,
"Look at me. If you are here and you have no husband, you may go." A
few women left. Then he continued, "If you are a second wife, you can go."
One woman left. Then he continued, "If in the past you have aborted twice,
you may go." As one woman left, the man of God said to her, "I could
not pray for you to have a child because you aborted and threw your kids into a
toilet. One of the kids could have become a preacher. You must pray and repent
for one year before God considers giving you a child."
Finally, fifty women were
left standing. The pastor then told all of them to move to the right side. Then
he said, "If I call your name, move to the left side." To everybody’s
amazement, as though the pastor had a list [he did not have one, he had never
met the women], he started to have a roll call: Esther, Jane,
Chepchumba,........etc. As their names were called, they moved to the left and
thus they were divided into two groups. To one group, he said,
"You, tomorrow start shopping for boys’ clothes. God is going to give you
boys. [And to the other group:] You shop for girls’ clothes. God will give you
girls." Then he pointed at one of the women and said, "With you, you
will have to buy clothes for both a boy and a girl, because you are going to
have twins." Then the man of God prayed for them.
When the pastor finished
ministering, he asked how many people wanted to receive Jesus as their personal
savior. About eight hundred people came and received Christ.
Third Day
Because news spread in town
about what God was doing, there were many more people on the third night. After
the man of God finished his preaching, he started ministering as he had done on
the previous days. From among the thousands, very many people were called by
their own names. Many AIDS cases and other problems were healed. I would like
to report these three cases:
1. The man of God stood and
said, "There is a woman in the direction I am pointing who has a son studying
for a Master’s degree in
2. The man of God stood and
said, "There is a woman in the direction I am pointing who does not have a
child. The child living with you, you bought. Who are you?" The woman
refused to lift her hand. Then the man of God called her by her name and said,
"I want to pray for you to have your own child. The child you are living
with was sold to you by nurses at
3. Then the man of God
stood and said, "There is a man who was sent in the morning by Satan to
come and test me. When he arrived, Satan told him not to be afraid, but to move
forward and do his disruptions. Well, he is here now, but all his powers are
gone." To everybody’s amazement, the man went forward, knelt down and the
pastor prayed for him. He received Christ.
That night, when the pastor
asked those who wanted to receive Christ, thousands lifted their hands.
Day 4
Things continued as on the
previous day. I wish I could report to you everything, but I can only report a
few cases.
During this day, several
blind people received their sight. They walked home by themselves. Then several
cripples walked. There was a lot of commotion as people sang and danced for
joy. They clapped their hands and praised God. One woman who was lame and could
now walk, took the microphone. She led the people in singing and jumping for
the Lord. She could really jump high. People cheered the more.
Robbers
Then the man of God started
calling by name those robbers who were in the crusade. He even told when and
where they stole, the name of their gang and their gang leader. Many came and
received Christ.
Pastor Nduati has a licence
from the police to collect illegal fire arms. Those who surrender and receive
Christ in his meetings are never arrested. [When I received this handwritten
letter from Joseph Wangigi, he had inclosed a picture of Pastor Nduati holding
a pistol which was surrendered to him by a thug.]
Many people received Jesus
Christ as Lord and Savior. The crusade was scheduled to last four days, but
people refused to let Pastor Nduati go back to
The ministry that I have
described continued. Many healed, many needs met. At the end of the 5th
day, when people realized that Pastor Nduati was going back to
Before I conclude, let me
tell you a few more things about pastor Nduati. He is a young man, and when he
wanted to get married, he told God, "Father, I want to get married. There
are many girls. I don’t know what to do." Then God told him, "Get
your vehicle and drive to Nyeri [a town about 100 kilometers from
As a result of Pastor
Nduati’s meeting, the next Sunday the churches in Eldoret were full to capacity
because of the very many people who had made commitments to following Jesus at
the crusade [including my church]. Glory to God.
Pastor Nduati is having the
same problem at his church in
From what I see, I perceive
that God is doing something new in his church. Let us be ready to receive his
blessings.

Later update: On November 17, 2000, Joseph Wangigi
wrote about John Nduati’s second visit to Eldoret. Brother Wangigi wrote:
Pastor Nduati came to
Eldoret for a one-day meeting on Saturday, November 11th. At this
second meeting, a number of people testified to the miracles that they had
received during Nduati’s first meeting in March 2000, especially those who were
prayed for by Pastor Nduati to be healed of HIV-AIDS. Many testified to their
healing, and some even had doctors’ certificates showing that they are now HIV
negative.
During Nduati’s first meeting,
he called a woman by her name and said, "You are not living with your
husband because he divorced you. Your husband will come back to you." In a
few days, the husband started communicating with the woman. Later he started
paying school fees for their children, and later he bought her a new car.
Another woman who could not
do anything because she had arthritis was prayed for during the meeting last
March. She is now healed and has now gone back to work.
All of the above were from
Nduati’s first meeting. Here are some of the blessings that came from the last
meeting: A number of people who had HIV-AIDS were prayed for. It seems that God
has given Pastor Nduati a special gift of healing AIDS.
One man was carried to the
meeting because he could not walk. He was suffering from AIDS in its advanced
stages. After prayers, the man rose up and walked normally, and lifted weights
which he had been unable to lift for a long time. Pastor Nduati had him do some
physical exercises such as push ups [or press ups].
Many other AIDS cases were
healed. Some came to the meeting with crutches or walking sticks. Pastor Nduati
"confiscated" the sticks, broke them, and commanded the people to
walk in Jesus’ name. They did. He also took away eye glasses from those who
were sporting them, and commanded them to be healed. Plus there were many other
healings.
As usual with Pastor
Nduati, he called people by their names. Again this time there was a man who
started asking himself, "How does he know peoples’ names?" Then
Pastor Nduati said, "Somebody is asking how I know people’s names. Where
is David?" David too went forward for prayers. After the meeting, people
followed pastor Nduati wherever he went.
One more Pastor Nduati
story from 1999: During that year, Pastor Nduati had a meeting in the
Pastor Nduati’s address is:
