I will surrender all I have to the glory of God!
Elder Muhindo Mokofa (Kenya Nairobi Manmin Holiness Church)
I was born in Butembo, Democratic Republic of the Congo in 1971, the second child of a family with 4 sons and 5 daughters. My father was a businessman and my mother was a medical doctor. My family was not poor, but we suffered from difficulties because my mother worshiped idols severely. She stuck to idol-worshiping so excessively that she prepared food separately to offer them to idols and forced us to carry charms with us. At 16, I accepted our Lord Jesus and came to leave my parents and to live in my uncle's because of her severe force. I had to work to earn a living and the tuition fee for school, but was happy with my uncle's religious support. I began to run a small cigar store, but one day an idea hip upon me that it had gone wrong. I immediately quitted that job and hung a phrase written, "Fear God!" on the wall of the store. Afterwards I dealt with candies, gums, soaps, matches and the like, and God gave me greater blessing, and then I could establish a company along with a couple of friends.
I held fast my faith though my mother continually forced me to worship idols, and dreamed of becoming an evangelist I possessed true faith through the gospel of sanctification and powerful works, and received triple blessings I participated in the organizing of the 2007 Butembo & Goma Crusade attended by 140,000 in total
I meditated on what to do in order to dedicate my life to the Lord and wished to become an evangelist to help the poor. I served many pastors at a few Baptist churches and helped them construct the temples of God. But I was surprised to find the pastors take advantage of the offerings for their own benefits rather than for the kingdom of God, and began to set aside my tithes into my bank account until I were to meet a true shepherd and the church.
Kenya Nairobi Manmin Holiness Church
In 2001, I moved into the city of Nairobi of Kenya on business, and searched for a good church. One day I was told by a pastor told me that he had been so touched when he watched Rev. Dr. Myongho Cheong's crusade on TBN Family Media. Afterwards I went to Nairobi Manmin Holiness Church and was so amazed at such works of faith that took place at the church. I had thought I love God until then, but my faith was found that of a beginner. The word of the Bible was being spiritually and clearly interpreted and was confirmed with following signs and wonders. So, I came to have the full assurance of the living God and to live in happiness. In April, 2005, I registered at Nairobi Manmin Holiness Church and gave God the whole tithes that I had set aside into my bank account. Afterwards amazing blessing came upon me.

My job was transporting many kinds of manufactures. In my transportation job I had often suffered from frequent disorders of trolley, threats of robbers at night, bribery request of policemen and soldiers, but since I registered at Manmin Church I was never robbed, well treated by policemen and soldiers, and not bothered because of troubles of a trolley. Later I realized that I had gained a great amount of income just for a year that would cost at least 3 years, and expanded my business 3 times. I gained favor from many workers of my company, many partners and coworkers rejoiced in my change and blessing and they were guided to Nairobi Manmin Church.
Africa has been attacked by various diseases and numerous people from overseas gather in Nairobi to get good medicines. I wish for them to rely on God and to be set free by receiving healings by His power. That's why whenever I meet my acquaintances who visited Nairobi I took them to my home so that I introduced to them the powerful ministry of Dr. Jaerock Lee and Nairobi Manmin Church. Later I took them to Rev. Dr. Myongho Cheong. Sila Palia from Democratic Republic of Congo was healed of stomach cancer, and Baluku Jeoffrey and his wife from Uganda came to conceive a baby in 10 years. Many more others received answers and blessings. I wished much more people would receive this amazing blessing and invited Rev. Dr. Myongho Cheong to conduct a handkerchief crusade in the city of Butembo and Goma.
It was not easy for 10 people to organize a big crusade and cost much amount of money. But we did our best to do it because we eagerly wished many souls to meet and know the living God and the Lord Jesus Christ. One of my business partners Mr. Paruk Silvain donated 12,000 US Dollars for the organizing of the crusade because his wife was healed of stroke.
At last "2007 Pastors and Church Leaders' Seminar and Crusade with Rev. Dr. Myongho Cheong" was held from July 17 to 21, 2007. Many pastors in attendance repented that they had been proud and done superficial ministry without the understanding of the true meaning of the Bible. They destroyed the long years of barriers among themselves and determined to be united for the salvation of many souls. Then, many of them joined the ministry of Manmin. The handkerchief crusades were attended by 80,000 and 60,000 respectively in Butembo and Goma. At the crusades many people were healed of various diseases and infirmities including AIDS, deafness and muteness, and gave glory to God.
Pastors' Seminar and Handkerchief Crusade
Through amazing works of God's power manifested, many people accepted Jesus Christ and blessing and answers overflowed. A great amount of money was spent as expected but this crusade brought impression and happiness on us who had prepared for the crusade with all our hearts and sincerity. Most of the people including me who were touched at the crusade came to long to meet Dr. Jaerock Lee, Rev. Dr. Myongho Cheong's Teacher and his church, Manmin Central Church, and a few of them visited Manmin Central Church to celebrate its 25th anniversary. All the expenses for the flight and travels were great, but it was no longer a problem to me. That's because it was a great happiness to me to meet Dr. Jaerock Lee.
Visitation to Korea to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Manmin
During my stay in Korea, my life was filled with touching moments – Spirit-filled worship services, heaven-like and beautiful performances, visitation to the site of Muan Sweet Water full of the grace of God, and Dr. Jaerock Lee of humility and love. I cannot forget any of them. Since I came back to Kenya, I have not ceased giving my thanks to God for leading me to become a member of Manmin. I have already received many blessings and expect manyh more blessings. I will surrender all I have to the glory of God until our Lord Jesus comes back to receive us again.
