NKOBE, MOZAMBIQUE

Jackolyna, hero of Nkobe.

This dear leady was helping clear the ground for our new church and CarePoint in Mozambique. A black mamba--one of the deadliest snakes in the world--bit her.

The doctor said she could not possibly live. My first thought was the people will think the church ground was cursed. People around the world started praying. On the third day she was totally recovered--absolute miracle.

Ben Rodgers asked her where she would have gone if she had died. She just hung her head.

"God has given you a second chance. Do you want to give your life to Him?"

"Yes!" she answered excitedly. She jumped up and said, "Oh, I must tell everybody."

Now she is the hero of the area.

And about that curse--she tells everyone, "If you want to meet the God the beat the snake come to this church!"

Not a curse--a blessing!
