After the showing, the man asked us to pray for his healing. We placed our hands on the man's head and waist and prayed to our Almighty God for the man's healing in the most powerful name of our Lord Jesus. We strongly prayed to our Lord Jesus to show His healing power and mercy upon these people so they would know Jesus and believe that He is the true Almighty God.

"The Lord spoke His word to me," said Titus in the Solomon Islands. "I did not go to school and do not know how to read and write. The pastor's wife turned on the Proclaimer for me to listen to each morning. The Proclaimer was in Pijin (my language) making it easy to listen to it. By listening to it every day, the Lord spoke to me through His Word. When I listened to John 3:16, it really blessed me to know about God's love for me and that He died on the cross for me. From that moment, I decided to give my life to Jesus. I was only there for one week. In that week, I gave my life to Jesus."
