WINNING SOULS

The ordained bishop testified that his ministry has won many souls for the Lord over the years. He reported that he has been faithful to the Lord, and He has allowed him to witness many souls being saved, sanctified and filled with the Holy Ghost.

“I have witnessed wonders being wrought by the power of the Holy Ghost, and I have benefited from the healing hands of God,” Jarrett said.

He shared that God worked many miracles in his life, and he shared that God’s healing power reached him about seven years ago.

“I witnessed God’s healing power in September of 2010 while I was ill and was slated to do surgery. On the morning of the surgery, while I was being transporte­d to the operating theatre, electricit­y went, shutting down all equipment there,” he said.

The church leader said that surgery was set to be done at the National Chest Hospital in St Andrew. He said that God saw that he should not have done the surgery, so the He showed up and healed his servant.

Jarrett added that the Lord moved in a mighty way, preventing the surgery from taking place and healing him instantly. So, today, he is preaching the word of God as he seeks to win the lost at any cost for his Maker. Feedback: pehenrya@hotmail.com
