Anti-Christian Extremist Healed By Jesus

In 2008, believers in Orissa, India, suffered intense persecution at the hands of anti-Christian extremists. They destroyed Christians' homes and burned churches to the ground. They went so far as to beat, rape, burn and murder believers. 

Haroon Das helped lead this brutality against Christians. When the riots against believers in Orissa began, he traveled throughout his district to stir up violence. 

“They destroyed Christians' homes and burned churches to the ground. They went so far as to beat, rape, burn and murder believers.”

On August 27, 2008, Haroon returned to his home village. He led a mob that damaged the church building of a Gospel for Asia-supported missionary. Haroon was one of the extremists who shattered the windows, broke the cross on top of the building and set fire to the contents of the building. 

The riots subsided, but Haroon himself began experiencing a problem. One of his legs became weak and caused him great pain. Eventually, one side of his body was completely paralyzed. 

With all his physical strength evaporated, Haroon's normal daily life came to a halt. He didn't understand why this happened. 

He went to doctors and spent lots of money on medical treatment, but he remained paralyzed. 

Someone was brave enough to tell Haroon that when Christians pray, a person can receive healing from any kind of sickness. He thought about going to church, but then talked himself out of it. 

"I have persecuted these people very badly, and if I go to them, how can they pray for me?" he asked himself. 

Haroon finally mustered up the courage to go. 

He showed up at a prayer meeting on a Tuesday night. He was shocked when the believers happily joined in prayer for him—the man who destroyed their church! Haroon brought his whole family—his wife, two children and his mother—to church the following Sunday. 

“I have persecuted these people very badly, and if I go to them, how can they pray for me?”

When the worship service ended, the pastor, Gospel for Asia-supported missionary Bhajan Sen, led the whole congregation in prayer for Haroon's physical ailments. 

Haroon and his family continued coming to church functions, and after some time, God completely healed him! Thankful and repentant, he confessed that the Lord had done this miracle. Haroon and his family decided to give their lives to Jesus. 

Although he is facing opposition from his older brother and from some of the other villagers, Haroon refuses to turn his back on Christ. His brother is threatening to cut him off from the rest of the family, but Haroon says he will stand firm in his relationship with Jesus regardless of the consequences. 

Like the people of Israel in Ezekiel's day, Haroon was called by the God who says, "As I live...I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways!" (Ezekiel 33:11 NKJV) By the mercy of Christ, Haroon no longer harasses the Lord's people. Instead, he joins with them in worshiping his Savior.

Miraculously healed from depression by German believer trained in Taiwan

Miraculously healed from depression by German believer trained in Taiwan by Rev William Lau

Brother Gerhard is a German national who lives in Taiwan, and attended The Elijah Challenge Training held there in June 2011

"I have heard many good news how your Elijah Challenge is ministering successfully in many countries in the world. May the Lord bless you, your team and your work abundantly and continue this wonderful work in an even more amazing way under His guidance and blessings.

Thanks to that one week in Taiwan [during which I attended your Training] together with Mission Harmony a lot of things have changed in my Christian life. I have experienced so many great things in these few days and met so many wonderful people that I am truly grateful for these blessings.

You have been an outstanding teacher during that time telling us that ...'we originally have the power given by our Lord Jesus to drive out demons'... These words have been a real eye opener, the first time someone telling me the truth about this fact in my nearly 50 years as a Christian...

...Three months ago I met a Singaporean mother with her daughter during lunch. She told me that she watched our prayer's evening online and saw a Westerner (me) amoung all the Chinese. She immediately felt that I could heal her daugther suffering from depression for many years. I did what you taught me, after the healing ministry they left immediately.

One month later they were looking for me, telling me with a smiling face that the daughter was completetly healed, did not have to take medicine anymore and was preparing to for a Singaporean university exam! The money she gave me I put in the box which we used in the same afternoon for raising money for disadvantaged children and family!

Thanks again for meeting you two great active Christians who will serve as my encouraging role models for the challenges to come! It's great that your teaching is available freely on YouTube, I know that many Christians are looking for new ways to serve Him better! May you be blessed in 2012, you are truly outstanding!"

Son of high government official healed; $19,000 offering refused by disciple

Testimony from Elijah Challenge India Coordinator Hanok Masih - December 2011


An atheist who is a very high-ranking government official came to our fellowship with his son who had lost life in the lower part of his body. Doctors said that he would stay like that all his life. Hearing this the man cried and said to the doctors, “Please, I am willing to spend as much money as necessary, but get my son well.”

One of his relatives who is a believer and who had attended Brother Simon’s healing meetings said to him, “Jesus can heal your son. I know a servant of God who ministers and people get healed.” The arrogant atheist said, “Give him 10 lakhs [over US$19,000]. I want my son to be well.”

So the family arrived at Simon’s home for him to heal his child and also offered the money. Since there were many people in his living room, Simon took him to his personal room. When they came out, the boy was healed---walking and jumping for joy.

The atheist fell at Simon's feet. Simon said to him, “the grace of God cannot be bought but experienced.” He refused to take the money. I am not revealing his name since he is a very high government official.
