In 2001, local members of their missionary team came across a remote village and had gone there to tell the people about Jesus when they encountered an elderly man who was very sick. One of the missionaries laid hands on the man and prayed that he would live and not die.
The man was healed.
Later, they discovered that he was the chief of the village—and the village was Muslim. In India, Muslims have nothing to do with Christians. However, the chief said, “I want you to come back to my village and teach the women how to pray like you do.” In addition to returning to the village at the chief’s request, Jeanette and the rest of the team were able to set up a medical clinic there.
Faith for Revival
In the 14 years that Jeanette and the others have been ministering in India, they have built and staffed 18 schools. More than 5,000 children who had never been in a classroom have been educated. Their first 15 students have now finished college and some are attending Bible school and training to be missionaries. In India, about 55,000 people are receiving Jesus each day.
Today, Jeanette can’t help but look back to that day in 1983 as the turning point in her life. Since then, she has seen revival fires, signs, wonders and miracles of all kinds in many places around the world—including the United States and Canada, Wales, Germany, Peru and Africa.
“What an anointing Kenneth Copeland imparted to me!” Jeanette says. “Back then, I had no idea what God had in store for my life or how much I would need it. I’ve listened to the majority of Kenneth and Gloria’s CDs, read their books and magazines, and watched the broadcast. All these years later I’m still being fed by their teachings.”
What’s next for Jeanette?
“There are famines across southern Africa so severe that orphaned children living on the streets are being killed and eaten,” she said. “I’ve been asked to go to Africa and do what we did in India, which is to get those kids off the streets.”
Today, Jeanette Wilson has ministered in more than 70 nations. At age 77, she has no plans to retire. The hardest part for her, she says, has been the loneliness in places like India where only the interpreter spoke English. How does she handle it? “Every time I get lonely, Jesus says, 'Turn on the radio. Let’s dance!'”
That’s how Jeanette Wilson lives her life. It’s a slow dance with Jesus. Cheek to cheek, they’ve danced around the world—in jungles, deserts and the most remote parts of the earth. From that intimacy, death has been defeated, people are being healed, souls are being saved and eternity is forever changed! V
