Testimony of The Elijah Challenge: Training Assemblies of God Pastors

Pastor William Lau from The Elijah Challenge has been teaching the pastors of the Assemblies of God, especially from Jakarta. Their mission is to equip every believer according to John 14:12 to heal the sick as Jesus and His disciples did to demonstrate to the world that He is the only way to the Father.

Here is their testimony is taken from the website of The Elijah Challenge:

Three days later we were driven to Puncak, a mountainous resort area a couple of hours from Jakarta, where servants of God from three regional Assemblies of God districts gathered for a big annual event. There are about 2,300 AOG churches in Indonesia. The Lord's grace was evident at our 1.5-hour Training session with Assemblies of God pastors from throughout the capital city of Jakarta. During the demonstration of healing, a pastor with a heart condition came forward. After being ministered to he was able to run and pick up a fellow pastor. Following that, three other servants of God came forward with pain, one of them quite severe. After three rounds of the laying on of hands by fellow ministers, they reported that they were healed.


The charismatic pastors were greatly encouraged and excited to see a fulfillment of John 14:12---a promise which they believe but have rarely seen come to pass. Several days later on a Monday we met with 130 Assemblies of God pastors in Jakarta to continue the Training. There was also an American missionary named John Liles, a radically committed disciple of Jesus Christ, who flew in from the province of Makassar to attend. The Lord was gracious to confirm His word through various healings during the day. Everyone who came forward to the stage for healing reported being healed or their symptoms leaving.


One zealous Jakarta businessman named Abraham Lembang who attended this AOG event is starting Elijah Challenge Jakarta. His wife Helen, suffering from a pinched nerve, had walked up gingerly to the stage with pain from her back down to her leg. After two sisters laid hands on her, she took off across the stage and came back with a smile on her face.


I shared with the servants of God how after the Elijah Challenge Training in 2003 in Indonesia, two brothers penetrated The largest unreached people group in the world consisting of gospel-resistant followers of the prophet. The pastors are now encouraged to evangelize this people group in the same way.
