God is reviving the church in one of the oldest homes of Christianity through individual stories.
About 19 years ago, Jimmy felt he was being called to Macedonia.
His parents were pastors in Nigeria, and he had briefly spent some time abroad in Eastern Europe, but nothing about this call God was urgently placing on his heart made logical sense.
The longing to go, despite everything, persisted. Jimmy packed up and moved, praying for God to make a path before him.
Jimmy has helped to plant 30 churches in Macedonia. He organizes conferences to encourage Macedonian church leaders and is working to reinvigorate believers in one of the oldest homes of Christianity.
Now, Pastor Jimmy and his team are partnered with World Challenge to help new believers and ministries grow sustainably and have greater impact on their communities.
During one of their house visits in Prždevo, the team visited a woman named Fadile.
She told them, “I know about God and have prayed before, but I’m in a bad position. I have too much work, a sick grandson to take care of, and terrible lower back pain.”
The team invited Fadile to a Christian conference organized by Pastor Jimmy.
She went, listened to the preaching and worshiped with all the believers. At the end, there was a prayer call, and Fadile stepped forward and asked for prayer for her back.
They laid hands on her and began to pray.
She said, “I was healed and felt the difference right away.”
