God HEALS and PROVIDES through Southern Baptists! | Philip & Jummai Nache

Описание: Phillip and Jummai Nache fled Nigeria in 2015 after facing persecution from the Islamic terrorist group, Boko Haram. But this move didn’t silence their faith. They have planted 2 churches in Minneapolis with (tag) Send Network where refugees, immigrants, Muslims, and Christians come to celebrate their hope in the gospel of Jesus Christ.

But tragedy struck in 2021. Jummai fell ill, spending months in the hospital, eventually having to undergo amputation of her left arm, three fingers on her right hand, and a double leg amputation below her knees.

And to the shock of doctors and the CDC, Jummai made an unprecedented recovery. “God preserved my wife’s life in a miraculous way in response to all the prayers of the church,” Philip shared.

The Nache family’s needs went beyond medical expenses—they needed a handicap-accessible van and several renovations to their home so that Jummai could get around. The Southern Baptist family rallied around the Naches to provide them with both.

Their ministry hasn’t stopped – in fact, they believe it’s only just the beginning.

Now, the Naches are moving toward starting an intercultural interaction center at their church—a place where people from all backgrounds can come to build relationships through English classes and more. And already, they’ve seen how God uses Jummai’s story—and the questions people ask when they notice her missing limbs—to spark conversations about God and the gospel.

“It’s amazing that even in this difficult situation, God is turning it around to help us reach out to people,” Jummai says. “And we are trusting that God is going to do tremendous things through the church He has given us.”

The Naches radiate thankfulness wherever they go—gratefulness to God for preserving Jummai’s life when doctors said she might not survive and gratefulness for all the people God placed around them to help them walk the journey.

“We thank the family of NAMB,” says Philip. “We are privileged to be part of this family and what God is doing. We are also privileged to be part of the SBC family, from which so many people have reached out to us. Thank you.”
