Luke 9 [NIV Dramatized Audio]

In 1980 I was landing at the Port Au Prince airport in Haiti with a mission team from our church. We were there to minister to the people.

Upon landing at the airport, I received the news that my grandmother had passed away. With the news, my father sent this scripture to tell me that I should continue on my trip and not try to come home for the funeral.

“Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.” [Luke 8:60]

We were accompanied by a great, well-known Nigerian preacher, Benson Idohosa. He prayed for a deaf and dumb man who the Lord healed and all the people who knew of the man’s condition began clapping and shouting. I had set up the sound system for that street meeting.
