How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. Acts 10:38
Whenever and wherever we present the statistics of TOUCHING LIVES AT CHRISTMAS, it is always stressed that, ‘These statistics are not the product of prowess and strategies; they are evidence of God’s Power, God’s Wisdom and God’s Readiness to save the lost.’ Simply put, the impacts of TLC are ACTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT through willing vessels. Dr. Luke recorded in his second account to H.E. Theophilus (Act 10:38) that, “God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; …“ These same acts the Holy Spirit did through Jesus then, He is doing though TLC today.
Among several testimonies of God’s move through this missions strategy are, healing, deliverance, salvation, planting of Churches, opening of missions stations, recruitments of labourers for the great commission. As TLC is spreading to more countries, the number of Centers is increasing; more people (Christians from various walks of life) are participating, more villages are receiving the gospel and ultimately more souls are coming into the Kingdom.
Read the detailed statistics for each of the 132 Centers here.
Presented below is the summarized report of the 17th Edition of Touching Lives at Christmas:
