5 Churches Where Miracles Still Happen: Modern Day Miracles

Miracles did not end two thousand years ago. In sanctuaries, tents, and prayer grounds across the world today, people walk in sick and walk out whole. This article takes you inside five churches where the miraculous is not a memory — it is a weekly reality.


Introduction: Why This Article Exists

If you are a skeptic, you have every right to be careful. Extraordinary claims deserve scrutiny, and you should never switch off your mind at the door of a church. But here is the honest question this article asks you to sit with: what if the evidence is closer than you think — recorded, on camera, with names and faces you can watch for yourself?

And if you are someone quietly carrying a burden — a diagnosis, a barren womb, a broken family, a debt you cannot pay — this article is written even more for you. Because behind every video linked below is a person who was once exactly where you are: waiting, hoping, and wondering whether God still moves today.

The Jesus of the Gospels healed the blind, opened deaf ears, and raised the dead. The Bible declares that "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever" (Hebrews 13:8). If that verse is true, then somewhere on earth, right now, His power must still be at work. The five churches below — led by five men widely regarded by millions as true prophets of God — are places where that power is reported, recorded, and testified to, week after week.

Watch the videos. Weigh the testimonies. Picture yourself in those crowds. And then decide.

And if you ever in need of help. I left links to the official websites & social media pages of these churches so you can reach out to them if you're ever in need of help.

Today might be yours.

A miracle.



"But Miracles Stopped After the Apostles"

This is the most common escape route for skeptics, so it deserves an honest answer.

The idea is called cessationism — the belief that miracles ended when the last apostle died. It sounds scholarly. But it has one simple problem: the Bible never says it. Search from Genesis to Revelation, and you will not find a single verse that says, "Miracles will stop when the apostles die."

The verse people usually point to is 1 Corinthians 13:8–10, which says prophecy and tongues will cease "when that which is perfect is come." Some claim "that which is perfect" means the completed Bible. But read the very next line: "For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face." Face to face with whom? With God. Paul is not talking about finishing a book — he is talking about the day we see God directly. That day has clearly not come yet. So by the Bible's own words, the gifts have not expired.

Now look at what the Bible actually does say. On the very first day of the Church, Peter stood up and declared:

"And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh... and they shall prophesy." — Acts 2:17–18

Notice the timeframe: "the last days." In the Bible, the last days are not some short window in the first century. They are the whole stretch of time between Jesus going up to heaven and Jesus coming back. We are living inside that window right now. The promise carries no expiry date — nothing says it ran out in AD 100.

And Jesus Himself made it even plainer:

"He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do." — John 14:12

Read that carefully. Jesus did not say, "whoever believes in me for the next forty years." He did not limit it to the twelve apostles. He said "he that believeth on me" — anyone, anywhere, in any generation, who believes.

So the honest question flips back to the skeptic: if you believe miracles stopped, you believe it without a single verse to stand on — while the verses we do have promise the exact opposite. Miracles did not retire with the apostles. The same Spirit poured out at Pentecost is still being poured out today. And the videos and testimonies in this article are exactly what we should expect to find if Jesus meant what He said.

1. Enlightened Christian Gathering (ECG) — Prophet Shepherd Bushiri

Location: Founded in Malawi, with a massive following across Southern Africa and branches worldwide.

The Man

Prophet Shepherd Bushiri, affectionately called "Major 1" by his followers, rose from humble beginnings in Mzuzu, Malawi, to lead one of the largest Christian gatherings on the African continent. The Enlightened Christian Gathering (ECG) draws tens of thousands to a single service — stadiums fill, overflow grounds fill, and still people come. Why? Because they believe, and many have seen, that God works wonders through this man.

The Miracles

Picture a stadium at midnight on New Year's Eve. Tens of thousands of voices raised in worship. And then — testimonies begin to pour in: the lame walking, the sick healed, chains of affliction breaking. This is the atmosphere of an ECG crossover night.

One of the most striking claims associated with Prophet Bushiri echoes the Book of Acts, chapter 5, where the sick were laid in the streets so that "at least Peter's shadow might fall on some of them." At ECG, worshippers testify to being healed by the prophet's shadow — no touch, no push, just the presence of God's anointing passing by.

Why It Speaks to Skeptics

These are not private, unverifiable stories whispered in back rooms. They happen in front of enormous crowds, under stadium lights, on camera, with the individuals healed standing before thousands of witnesses. The sheer scale of public testimony at ECG demands, at minimum, an honest look.

2. The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) — Prophet T.B. Joshua

Location: Ikotun-Egbe, Lagos, Nigeria.

The Man

Prophet Temitope Balogun Joshua (1963–2021) is arguably the most internationally recognized African prophet of the modern era. Born into poverty in Ondo State, Nigeria, T.B. Joshua built The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) into a global destination. Before his passing in June 2021, Lagos airport authorities repeatedly noted that SCOAN was one of Nigeria's biggest drivers of religious tourism — planeloads of visitors arrived weekly from South America, Asia, Europe, and across Africa, most of them seeking one thing: a miracle.

His ministry lives on through his widow, Pastor Evelyn Joshua, who now leads SCOAN, and through Emmanuel TV, one of the most-watched Christian networks in the world.

The Miracles

Imagine a man blind for years, standing on the prayer line in Lagos. The prophet prays. The man blinks — once, twice — and then begins to count fingers held before his face. The crowd erupts. Cameras capture every second, and the testimony is broadcast to millions.

For decades, SCOAN documented healings of blindness, paralysis, chronic disease, and deliverance from destructive addictions. T.B. Joshua's ministry was also remarkable for its reach: he held massive crusades far beyond Nigeria — in South Korea, Mexico, Colombia, Paraguay, Indonesia, and Israel, where he ministered in Nazareth, the hometown of Jesus, in 2019.

Why It Speaks to Skeptics

Volume and duration. This was not one alleged miracle on one afternoon — it was a documented, filmed, forty-year ministry with testimonies from every continent, including medical professionals, athletes, and political leaders who came publicly and were healed publicly. A single anecdote can be dismissed; a forty-year archive filmed before international audiences is a different kind of evidence.

3. Spirit Embassy (The GoodNews Church) — Prophet Uebert Angel

Location: Founded in Zimbabwe; headquartered internationally with branches across Africa, Europe, and beyond.

The Man

Prophet Uebert Angel, founder of Spirit Embassy (The GoodNews Church), is a Zimbabwean-born prophet known worldwide for the startling accuracy of his prophetic ministry and for healing services in which the power of God moves with remarkable speed. His ministry emphasizes "the GoodNews" — the message that God is not angry with you, He is for you, and His power is available now.

The Miracles

Two things set Prophet Angel's services apart in the eyes of his followers.

First, instant healings. Not gradual improvement over weeks — but conditions reportedly leaving bodies the very moment hands are laid in prayer. Watch the faces in the videos below: shock, tears, disbelief melting into joy.

Second, the phenomenon his followers call "miracle money" — the supernatural provision of finances, reported at gatherings such as the one in Auchi, Nigeria, where attendees testified that money appeared in their pockets, wallets, and bank accounts at the prophet's declaration. To the skeptic this sounds impossible. But ask yourself: the God who put a coin in a fish's mouth to pay Peter's tax (Matthew 17:27) — has He lost the ability to provide?

Why It Speaks to Skeptics

Prophet Angel frequently teaches how miracles work — faith, the spoken word, the laws of the Spirit — before demonstrating them. The miracle is not presented as random magic but as the consistent operation of spiritual principles. For the honest inquirer, that framework is testable: come, listen, apply, and observe.

4. Christ Mercyland Deliverance Ministry — Prophet Jeremiah Omoto Fufeyin

Location: Warri, Delta State, Nigeria.

The Man

Senior Prophet Jeremiah Omoto Fufeyin is the founder of Christ Mercyland Deliverance Ministry in Warri, one of the largest deliverance-focused ministries in Nigeria's Niger Delta region. Known for his philanthropy — scholarships, financial empowerment of widows, and huge cash gifts to the needy — Prophet Fufeyin pairs the message of God's mercy with demonstrations of God's power. His followers call the church grounds "Mercyland" for a reason: it is a place people come when medicine, money, and men have failed them.

The Miracles

Mercyland is famous for deliverance — the freeing of people from spiritual oppression — and for healings that follow. Services feature prophecy, prayer over sickness, and testimony sessions where those previously prayed for return with medical reports and changed lives. Barren women return carrying babies. The chronically ill return with clean scans. The congregation does not merely hear about miracles; they watch the before-and-after with their own eyes.

Watch for Yourself

  • Visit the official Christ Mercyland / Prophet Jeremiah Fufeyin YouTube channel and search "Mercyland miracles" and "Prophet Jeremiah Fufeyin healing" on YouTube for extensive recorded testimony sessions, healings, and deliverance services.

Why It Speaks to Skeptics

Mercyland's practice of inviting people back to testify — with documentation in hand — builds a public record. Skeptics often say, "Show me the follow-up." At Mercyland, the follow-up is the service.

5. Zion Prayer Movement Outreach (ZPMO) — Evangelist Ebuka Obi

Location: Ago-Okota, Lagos, Nigeria — with over 170 branches worldwide.

The Man

Evangelist Chukwuebuka Anozie Obi — known to millions simply as Evangelist Ebuka Obi — may be the most fascinating figure on this list. Born a twin into a devout Roman Catholic family in Ubulu-Ihejiofor, Imo State, Nigeria, his story reads like something from the Old Testament. According to his ministry's account, his mother received a revelation while pregnant that one of her twins had been chosen by God. By the age of eight, young Ebuka was prophesying, and people trooped to his father's compound seeking him (ZPMO official biography).

At twelve, he was mentored by a Catholic priest, Fr. Luke Odinkemere, accompanying him on exorcisms — reportedly able to locate buried diabolical objects, which the priest verified by digging them up (Wikipedia). Under the priest's guidance, he took vows of chastity, loyalty to the church, and freedom from materialism.

As a young man he built a cable business in Lagos — but the call would not let him go. He shut down his business for full-time evangelism, and in 2009 founded the Zion Prayer Movement Outreach (ZPMO), a non-denominational prayer ministry in Ago-Okota, Lagos, that has since grown to over 170 branches worldwide.

Here is what makes ZPMO remarkable, especially to the skeptic: Evangelist Ebuka Obi does not collect tithes. He does not perform baptisms, weddings, or fundraising bazaars. The prayer ground is open to everyone of any religion, free of charge, on the principle of Matthew 10:8 — "Freely you have received, freely give." He is also the founder of the Seraphic Home Foundation (caring for widows, orphans, and the destitute), Seraphic Hospital (providing free treatment to poor patients), and a scholarship program for indigent students. Followers call him "the John the Baptist of our time."

The Miracles

Picture the prayer ground at Okota, or millions joined online for the Night of Open Heaven, ZPMO's daily prayer program, or the annual 100 Days of Prayer and Fasting. Prophecy flows — specific, personal, locating individuals in the crowd whom the evangelist has never met. The blind receive prayer and report sight. The oppressed are delivered. Testimonies are recorded and broadcast continually.

One widely noted case: Arinze Chinwuba, a student of Anambra State University who walked on double crutches — and threw them away after prayer at Zion ministry. A former member of Nigeria's National Assembly, Uche Nwole, has also publicly testified to the genuineness of the miracles and the change in his own fortunes after Evangelist Ebuka prayed for him (The Nation; Wikipedia).

Why It Speaks to Skeptics

Follow the money — or rather, the absence of it. The most common skeptical charge against miracle ministries is financial motive. But a ministry that refuses tithes, charges nothing, funds free hospitals and scholarships, and welcomes people of every faith removes that objection at the root. When a prophecy is given and a stranger in a crowd of thousands confirms details no one could have researched, the skeptic is left with a genuinely hard question: how?

What These Five Churches Have in Common

Step back and look at the pattern across all five:

  • Public, recorded ministry. These miracles are not claimed in secret. They happen before crowds of thousands and cameras streaming to millions. The evidence invites inspection.

  • Named, traceable people. Real individuals stand up, give their names, and tell their stories on camera — many returning later with follow-up testimony.

  • Consistency over years. These are not one-off events but decades-long ministries with continuous streams of testimony.

  • Christ at the center. Every one of these prophets points away from himself and to Jesus. The miracles are done in Jesus' name — exactly as the Bible promises: "these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons... they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover" (Mark 16:17–18).

  • Fruit beyond the pulpit. Hospitals, foundations, scholarships, widows fed, orphans housed. By their fruits you will know them (Matthew 7:16).

A Word to the Skeptic

You do not have to accept anything on blind faith. That is precisely why the video links are in this article. Watch them. Look at the faces. Listen to the testimonies. Note the specificity of the prophecies. Ask yourself honestly: is "it's all fake" really the simplest explanation for decades of recorded, public, named, followed-up testimony across five independent ministries in different nations?

Skepticism that refuses to examine evidence is not skepticism — it is a belief system of its own. Real open-mindedness watches the footage before rendering the verdict.

A Word to the One Waiting for a Miracle

Maybe you have read this far because you need one of these miracles yourself. Hear this clearly: the same God who moves in Lagos, Warri, Pretoria, and beyond is not limited by geography. The prophets themselves would tell you they are only vessels — the power belongs to Jesus Christ, and He is everywhere.

But there is also something powerful about going — about joining a house of prayer where faith is thick in the air, where testimonies build your expectation, where hands are laid on the sick in Jesus' name. If you can attend one of these churches or their branches, go. If you cannot, join their broadcasts. Pray along. Believe along.

The woman with the issue of blood pressed through a crowd for twelve years' worth of hope and touched the hem of His garment (Mark 5:25–34). Your pressing through might be a journey to a prayer ground, or simply a prayer whispered tonight in front of a livestream. Either way, the promise stands:

"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you." — Matthew 7:7

Miracles happen. They are happening now. And the next testimony could be yours.
