Anyway the amount of effort put into each and every movie which is produced is unbelievable and deserves to be appreciated.

 

A man who claimed he was Jesus!

Filed under: weird — nesh August 1, 2007 @ 5:05 pm

On 11 June1988, a man suddenly appeared before a vast crowd in

Nairobi, Kenya, gathered to witness the miracle healings of Kenyan spiritual healer, Mary Akatsa. Instantly recognizing the tall, white-robed figure as “Jesus Christ”, the crowds fell down overcome with emotion.

The scene was at the

Church of

Bethlehem, where Mary Sinaida Akatsa conducts miracle prayers, praying for the sick, the blind, cripples, mad people, the barren and others facing all sorts of personal problems.
On 4 June 1988 a big, bright star was sighted above the skies by worshippers. It was unusually brighter than ordinary stars. The time was 1 pm. But on 11 June it was different. Worshippers were busy singing Mungu ni Mwema, a popular Swahili hymn, when Mary Akatsa interjected. She announced that God had spoken to her and told her to “await a miracle because a very important guest would be coming to give her a very vital message.” People ‘braced themselves for the unknown’ while others stared blankly at her, their mouths agape with awe and bewilderment. Five minutes later, she asked those who were singing and dancing to stop as the long-awaited message had arrived. “Jesus! Jesus! Jesus of Nazareth!” went the loud whispers from the crowd as they raised up their hands in submission and divine welcome. The tall figure of a barefooted white-robed and bearded man appeared from nowhere and stood in the middle of the crowd. He was walking slowly towards the new church building away from the tent. Mary walked with him, side by side. She tried to explain that 20 cripples had managed to walk again a few minutes ago because of the day’s blessings. But nobody, except perhaps a few, heard this. They were busy talking to “The Lord”.Here are some pictures:nairobi1.JPG nairobi4.jpgnairobi2_small.gifnairobi3_small.gif
