Fire & Anointing Pastors Conference Draws Record Attendance
The 2nd Fire & Anointing Pastors Conference attracted over 1,000 pastors from both urban centers and remote areas across South Sudan. The event was graced by notable dignitaries, including:
- Mr. Moses Clarie, Director of Bureau from the Office of the President
- A Minister from the Central Equatoria State
- High-ranking military officials and government personnel
- Bishops and other esteemed religious leaders
Powerful Healing and Deliverance Services
Miraculous Healings Reported
On the final day of the conference, Dr. Corral conducted a powerful healing and deliverance service for pastors and conference delegates. Many attendees reported experiencing instant healing during the session, demonstrating the spiritual power of the gathering.
Touching Ministry to Malnourished Toddler
Among the individuals she ministered to was a malnourished toddler whose caregiver explained that the child had refused to eat since the passing of her grandmother a month prior, often crying at her grave. Dr. Corral not only prayed for the child but also pledged to cover her medical expenses.
Prayer for Bishop Tomson Byamugisha
Dr. Corral also prayed for Bishop Tomson Byamugisha, the head of the Pastors Fraternity in Makindye Ssabagabo, Uganda. Dr. Corral declared that God had preserved his life for the sake of revival in Uganda and East Africa. Bishop Byamugisha, a Member of the advisory Council and intercessor to Corral, had recently been hospitalized in Nairobi, Kenya for several months undergoing complex medical treatment.
Remarkable Testimony: Former Muslim Cleric Converts to Christianity
Sheikh Mujahid, a former Muslim cleric, publicly testified during the conference about his newfound faith in Jesus Christ following his conversion to Christianity. He confessed that in the past, he had persecuted pastors and burnt numerous churches. Now, he says, his life has been completely transformed — comparing his journey to that of the Apostle Paul, who was once Saul, a fierce persecutor of Christians before his dramatic conversion.
Humanitarian Outreach and Community Impact
In a heartfelt gesture, Dr. Corral personally distributed new clothing, including jackets, to several pastors. Additionally, at a local church in Juba pastored by Ambassador Joseph Lupai, the lead host of the South Sudan mission, the Breath of the Spirit Ministries team—led by Rev. Dr. Gregory Rhea—provided food donations to hundreds of children.
“God is going to answer the prayers of South Sudan.”
