Witch Doctor heard Brad’s invitation to “Accept Christ”
This man was a Witch Doctor for 35 years. Another Witch Doctor cursed this man, later both of his feet began to rot!! Medical Doctors could not heal him… But when he heard Pastor Brad give an invitation to “Accept Christ” during a FM broadcast, he renounced witch craft and accepted Christ!! God immediately began to heal his feet. Pastor Joseph in Uganda went to follow with the man & took photos. Thank you Jesus for your healing power!!

Pastor Joseph shares this story: “We started the program on Friday and in the midst of the program, 2 FM Radio Station workers appeared in the studio, you guess what..?

And in a few minutes another one came in saying I want also, and they finally got saved.”

Since birth this boy has been bedridden (for 19years ) he could not speak, sit or walk. But during the FM Radio prayer time, Pastor Brad prayed, "Move Holy Spirit and touch your people now. Move in power oh God!" Then the mother of the boy cried unto to God saying "Please hear your servant and heal my child," Immediately the boy started talking and sitting. Waiting for him to walk in Jesus name! Thank you Jesus for touching this young man’s life!
Listener Story:
“Thanksgiving for the Gospel which saved this listener’s family! Gifts of THANKS!”
Pst Joseph of Kamuli submitted this story, his family was the recipient of these GIFTS of THANKS! A live chicken and large bottle of milk.
“Eria, who got saved during the radio program of Pastor Brad came to my home running and knocked at my door. And My children opened the door. Little did we know that he was carrying a very huge chicken and a five litter jug of milk! Eria brought these gifts to us as ‘His thanksgiving to me for the gospel of Jesus -which saved his family again.” And he said a lot is happening in his family.
A Muslim man named Musa Ewula and his whole family prayed to receive Christ after listening to Pastor Brad on the local FM Radio! Musa rode his motorcycle to the radio station looking for Brad to give him a gift of $50 which is equivalent to Ugandan shillings 185000!! (Brad preached this message in America & was not at the FM station!)
The reason why Musa wanted to give Brad a gift is, after Brad finished his message he took time to pray for the listeners. Brad specifically prayed for “People to stop drinking alcohol which is misleading them, against unforgiveness and anger.” And the prayer met the heart of Musa’s father and the father finally forgave the son for not taking him to see his sister when she was sick. “This hate has stayed for 7 years in the father’s heart until yesterday!!” Through it all the son was forgiven and received a piece of land 130fx200f from his father.
Listener Story:
“Take Christ a second time. Rededication!”
"Pastor Joseph in Uganda, went to do a follow up with a man that got saved last week. Little did Joseph know this man was formerly a Pastor & had backslidden!! When the man heard Brad preaching on the FM Radio program, he decided to "Take Jesus Christ the second time!!" Rededication.
When his wife saw Joseph, she was very happy and said she thought God had... "Hated and Forgotten them for the last 13 years!" But glory to God for remembering them again and the power of forgiveness!
Listener “On the Street Story”
“Put God first Matt 6:33’’
A Muslim man who was selling sugar canes just outside the gate of the school, overheard Pastor Brad preaching to the students… he realized the message was for him!!
The man heard Brad preaching about Mt. 6:33: "Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these other things will be added to you," and Brad was telling the students to “Put God first in their studies, and He would make them better students.”
When Brad gave the salvation invitation to the students, this man outside the gate, also responded to Christ! He miraculously, for the first time in his life -- sold all of his sugar canes by the end of that day! His name is Mustafa -- same word for "Moses."
Mustafa said he knew at that point, even more so that the teaching was true. Pastor Joseph took him to church that Sunday, and now this man has new life in Jesus.
The "simple" testimonies are so often the best testimonies of all.
Listener Story:
“So often it’s the little things that go so far…”
Pastor Brad’s Uganda Ministry Partner -- Pastor Joseph Muyingo -- translates his weekly FM broadcast in the Kamuli, Uganda region. An entire family of 5 recently came to faith in Jesus while listening to the broadcast -- on a neighbor's radio!
A Humble Request: They asked Pastor Joseph to get them their own “family radio;” here it is, in this picture! Thank you Jesus for lives changed by hearing the Word of God!!
“These kinds of testimonies always bring such great joy to me!”
— Pastor Brad
Listener Story
“Answered Prayer for a bicycle…”
Answered Prayer!!…
This sweet couple called in to the FM radio station in Uganda last night after my broadcast to report that God had answered their prayers for a bicycle (I pray for healings and financial provision for the people, but I never thought to pray for a bike).
Friends, they called and said it was a MIRACLE for them. But take a close, close look at it: was it made in the '60's, or 50's? Think carefully about that.
One of the greatest lessons in life -- one that must be practiced consistently -- is to express gratitude to God.
For example, I often thank Him for the shoes I have (not everyone has shoes), for the clothes I wear (some people have hardly any clothes), and for the cars we have (same cars for 13 and 16 years, respectively).
A grateful man, woman or child is… A happy man, woman or child!!
