Burned and Broken, but Not Defeated: Okwiri Yosefam’s Journey to Healing and Restoration
Burned and Broken, but Not Defeated: Okwiri Yosefam’s Journey to Healing and Restoration
“God has restored my health, reunited my family, and given us hope for the future.”
My name is Okwiri Yosefam, and I come from Kibuli in Kampala. Today, I have come with my family to testify about the goodness of God and what we believe He has done in our lives through the ministry of Brother Ronnie Makabai.
This is my story.
The Accident That Changed Everything
Some time ago, I experienced a terrible accident at home.
I fell onto a saucepan that was boiling with beans. The beans and hot liquid spilled over me, and the fire followed. I was severely burned on the left side of my body—from my head down to my hand and ribs.
At the time of the accident, I lost consciousness.
My wife, Jennifer, heard me crying out, “Oh Jesus! Lord Jesus!” She came out to see what was happening and found me lying on the floor, surrounded by the spilled beans, soup, and fire.
She tried to pull me away, but I did not understand what was happening. Eventually, she managed to get me away from the fire and helped me sit up.
That was when I began to regain consciousness.
When she told me what had happened, I realized that the entire left side of my body had been badly burned.
The Pain Became Unbearable
About 15 minutes later, I started feeling extremely weak.
The pain became intense. I could barely stand, and the pain seemed to spread through my body. My family decided that I needed to be taken to the hospital immediately.
At the hospital, I received first aid and was examined. The doctors found that my blood pressure was very high. I was given medication and treated for the burns.
But even after treatment, the pain continued.
The nights were especially difficult.
I could hardly find a comfortable position to sleep. The burned side of my head was extremely painful, and I experienced problems around my ear. Even lying down became a struggle.
For several days in hospital, I endured severe pain.
My hand was also badly affected. I could not stretch it properly. Whenever I tried to move, bend, or straighten it, I felt intense pain.
It felt as though everything was tied together.
These medical documents show that I was hospitalized and treated for the burns.
“I Wanted to Come to Holy City”
Despite the medical treatment I had received, I continued to suffer.
Eventually, I decided to go to Peace Centre at Holy City because I wanted Bro. Ronnie Makabai to pray for me.
My faith was that Jesus Christ could work through prayer and bring healing.
When the man of God prayed for me, I experienced what I describe as an instant healing.
Before the prayer, I could hardly move my hand.
But afterward, I was able to move it.
I could shake it.
Everyone could see the difference.
The Man of God had witnessed how badly I had been affected by the burns, and I believe God touched my life during that prayer.
Hallelujah! Praise Jesus!
I thank the Lord for healing me.
A Prophecy About My Children
But my testimony did not end with my physical recovery.
During the prayer, Bro. Ronnie Makabai also spoke about children around me. He said he was seeing an issue involving children.
At first, I listened carefully.
Then I realized that what he was saying connected with my life.
I have many children—about 15 in total, although not all of them are here today. They were born to different mothers, and for a long time, it was extremely difficult for me to have all of them with me.
Some of the mothers would not allow me to take the children.
Whenever I tried to bring some of them home, there would be disagreements and conflict.
It seemed almost impossible.
But something began to change.
My Children Came Back Home
I had children living with different mothers and families.
Then, unexpectedly, the very people who had previously refused to let me have the children began calling me.
They started saying:
“Come and take your child.”
One by one, the children began coming back to me.
Within about a year, I was able to have many of my children together.
Today, they are here with me.
Among them is my son Israel.
Israel is particularly important to this testimony because of a frightening incident that happened to him.
According to the family, the child had been buried alive, but was later discovered after his mother went looking for firewood and heard him crying. She found that only his head remained above the ground.
He survived.
And today, Israel is here with me.
For our family, his survival is another reason to give thanks to God.
“God Gave Me My Children Back”
I never imagined that I would see all these children together.
Some of them had been difficult for me to reach. Some families did not want to release them to me.
There were times when I was also struggling financially and could not provide enough support.
But things changed.
The same people who had previously rejected my requests began calling me and asking me to come and take my children.
Some of the children were given to me freely.
Today, I look around and see them here with me.
That brings me great joy.
Then God Provided for Their Future
I soon realized that bringing my children home was only the beginning.
Children needed food, clothing, medical care and, most importantly, they needed education.
I asked myself, “God, what happens next?”
At the time, my income was very limited. I was earning about 220,000ugx (54.56$) , but I knew that supporting such a large family would require much more.
Then another door opened.
Within a short time, I received a connection concerning school bursaries.
I responded to the opportunity, and my children were able to receive bursaries.
They were scheduled to report to school, but before everything was completed, I felt that I had to come and testify.
I had to tell people what I believe God had done for my family.
God did not stop at restoring my health.
He helped bring my children together.
He opened doors for their education.
And He continued providing for our family.
My Wife Stands With Me
My wife, Kansiime Jennifer, has also been part of this journey.
She confirms that I was severely burned and that the hospital was the first place we sought help.
When the pain continued, she supported my decision to come to Holy City Peace Centre.
She says that after Bro. Ronnie Makabai prayed for me, she witnessed what she describes as an immediate change in my condition.
But she also witnessed the restoration of our family.
Today, she stands with me and accepts these children as her own.
I am deeply grateful to her.
I have many children, but she has chosen to embrace them.
She has accepted them as part of our family.
That is something I will always appreciate.
A Family Reunited
Today, when I look around, I see something I once thought would be impossible.
My children are together.
My wife is standing with me.
I am able to move the hand that was once severely burned.
And our family has new opportunities for the children's education and future.
For me, this is a story of restoration, believing that tomorrow can be different from yesterday.
“God Has Done It”
I give all the glory and honor to the God of Bro. Ronnie Makabai.
I thank Jesus Christ for what I believe He has done in my life and in my family.
I thank my wife for standing with me.
I thank everyone who prayed with us.
And I thank Bro. Ronnie Makabai for the ministry and prayers that have been part of our journey.
This is our testimony.
And we give all the glory and honor to God.

Born Without a Vaginal Opening
Born Without a Vaginal Opening: The Miraculous Restoration of Baby Giana. There are life stories written with questions that no human wisdom can answer—moments where medicine reaches its absolute limits, leaving room for a higher power to step in.
This is the extraordinary testimony of baby Giana, a young girl born into the world with a rare, painful congenital condition, and how a family’s unwavering faith led to a complete, documented medical wonder.
A Heartbreaking Diagnosis from Birth: The absence of a vaginal opening
Under normal anatomical development, the female reproductive system features three distinct external openings: the urinary opening (urethral orifice), the reproductive opening (vaginal orifice), and the rectal opening.
From her very first breath, it was clear that something was terribly wrong with baby Giana.
- Complete Absence of a Passage: Her vaginal opening was completely closed—sealed shut with smooth, continuous skin.
- Severe Pain: Every time the innocent child attempted to urinate, she cried out in distress.
- A Bleak Prognosis: Gynecologists at Benedict Medical Center and Mulago Women’s Hospital examined the baby repeatedly. The medical consensus was alarming: she had an absent vaginal opening and canal, making normal maturation, menstruation, and future reproduction physically impossible.
─► May 28, 2026: Confirmed normal vaginal opening & canal.
The doctors explained that the only human solution was a complex, highly specialized surgery—a procedure so rare and expensive that it was only accessible far away in India. The financial cost was completely out of reach for her family.
When Faith Meets Despair
Refusing to give up on her daughter's future, Giana's mother brought the baby girl to the Holy City Peace Center to seek prayer from Brother Ronnie Makabai.
Surrendering the child’s fate to God, she believed that the Creator who formed the human body could also restore what was missing. Brother Ronnie Makabai prayed over the innocent baby girl, declaring total restoration over her destiny.
"But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed."
Isaiah 53:5
Months after the prayer, the mother performed a routine checkup on her child at home and made a staggering discovery: there is an opening!
In disbelief and awe, she rushed Giana back to the hospital for official medical evaluation.
- The Follow-Up Exam: The examining doctor was stunned by what he saw and immediately called fellow physicians into the room to witness the child.
- The Official Findings: The official medical forms—which previously recorded an absent vaginal opening at age one—now confirmed that nine months later Giana possessed a normal variation with a fully formed vaginal opening and functional canal.
- Zero Medical Intervention: No scalpel had touched her skin. No surgery, dilators, or human procedures had taken place.
"The doctor asked me what I did. I told them I took the child to Holy City to the servant of God, Brother Ronnie Makabai. The opening was then formed naturally. Giana was not operated upon by doctors—Jesus operated on her!" — Giana's Mother
Where medical science prescribed an expensive, painful reconstructive operation, divine intervention provided total creative restoration.
As Brother Ronnie Makabai prayed over the family, he declared that Giana's physical healing was only the beginning—that the God who created her physical body on earth would also align and bless her destiny. Right now she has grown into a beautiful little girl, ready to become a lady some day who will bear her own children in the future.
Giana stands today as a living, walking witness that the God of creation is still in the business of performing wonders. When human wisdom fails and medical solutions fall short, faith opens doors that science says are permanently closed!

Imagine A Stranger Telling You Your Deepest Secret
Prophecy is the medium through which God reveals secrets to His children through His servants the prophets.
“For prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.” 2 Peter 1:21, NKJV
I, Sophie Amoit, had never known that prophecy truly exists in this new age and era. I did not know what prophecy even was until I met the Prophet of God, Bro. Ronnie Makabai.
Having travelled from Malabar, Kenya seeking the hand of God, I came to Holy City hoping for just a touch and praying that God reveals why I’m going through what I’m going through.
It was a Sunday service at Holy City Entebbe when I received a prophecy from the Prophet of God, Bro. Ronnie Makabai, for the very first time, one that completely changed my life.
Only to be stunned as the man that I sought for so long stood in front of me and asked me what seemed to be a simple question, "Do you know of a lady who died lonely?"
For a minute I froze. How does this man know so much about me?
He continued to ask me, "Do you feel lonely?"
He continued to tell me that he sees a period of my life where I seemed so lonely that I wanted to commit suicide. Again I paused and gathered myself and continued to say, "It is true."
I was stunned because every word was true. Before this day, I had never met him before or spoken to him. It was so unreal that someone I had never met before was telling me something so intimate about myself.
I had never told anyone—not even my own mother.
As the prophecy continued, he revealed something else that I had never connected to my own life. He spoke about an elderly woman in my family, like a grandmother, who had died in deep loneliness after being abandoned. He explained that this pattern of loneliness had affected my family and had found its way into my own life.
Immediately, I knew exactly who he was talking about. It was my grandmother, the first wife of my grandfather. She had indeed died in great loneliness. Until that moment, I had never considered that what I was experiencing could be part of a recurring pattern in my family. The prophecy opened my eyes to the spiritual root of the loneliness I had battled for years.
As I reflected on my own life, everything began to make sense. While I was at university, I went through a painful misunderstanding in a relationship. The emotional pain became so overwhelming that I reached a point where I wanted to end my life. I kept those thoughts hidden from everyone, carrying the burden alone.
Over the years, I also experienced two miscarriages, remained unmarried, and continued to struggle with feelings of isolation. It often felt as though loneliness followed me everywhere I went. Before receiving that prophecy, I could not understand why these painful experiences seemed to repeat themselves.
Receiving that prophetic word became a turning point for me. It didn't simply reveal what I had gone through—it helped me understand what I believed was the source of my struggle. Through the prayers of the Man of God, Bro. Ronnie Makabai, all the loneliness that I came with left, all the suicidal thoughts are gone, now I’m hopeful, I feel peace and I believe that i am totally free from that spirit of loneliness.
I thank God for Bro. Ronnie Makabai for this great revelation, and I am grateful for the gift of prophecy and for having experienced that gift in this lifetime.
My Journey with Bipolar Disorder
My name is Marvin, and I come from Gangu in Kampala, Uganda. For a long time, I did not know that I was developing a mental health condition called bipolar disorder. Looking back now, I realize that the illness had been growing within me before its symptoms became visible to those around me.
My first major episode happened while I was at school. During a lesson, I suddenly left my classroom and entered another class. I picked up a duster, erased everything that had been written on the blackboard, and drew a cow. The students became angry and wanted to confront me, but the teacher stopped them after noticing that I was carrying sticks in my hands. I started hitting tables and doors before eventually walking away.
The school immediately contacted my mother and informed her that I was behaving strangely and aggressively. When she came to pick me up, she initially thought I had a fever. However, after seeking medical attention, we were referred to Butabika National Referral Mental Hospital, where I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder during a manic episode.
My mother was shocked when she received the news. She was told that I had developed a mental illness and that my behavior had become unpredictable. It was a very difficult period for both me and my family.
As time went on, my condition worsened. There was a time when I even got lost. I was placed on medication at Butabika Hospital, but managing the illness remained a challenge. The medication often made me feel weak, while periods without it were marked by severe changes in my behavior.
At my worst, I would destroy household property and become increasingly difficult to manage. My family became so concerned about my safety and the safety of others that they sometimes had to lock me inside the house.
When my mother felt that there was little improvement in my life, she decided to take me to the Peace Centre of Holy City Entebbe. There, I was prayed for by the Servant of God Bro. Ronnie Makabai. According to my mother, after that encounter she began to notice significant changes in my behavior. Gradually, I started returning to my normal self and was able to resume my education.
Going back to school was not easy. Some school administrators were reluctant to allow me to sit for my Senior Four examinations because they remembered my previous behavior and feared that I would negatively affect the school's performance record.
Despite these challenges, I remained determined. By the grace of God, I performed exceptionally well in my examinations, surpassing the expectations of many people who had doubted me, including some of the students I had left studying while I was battling the condition.
When I first became ill, I felt as though something was controlling me. I could not control myself or my thoughts. At the time, I genuinely believed that everything I was doing was right. It was a confusing and frightening experience.
Today, I am grateful to the God of Bro. Ronnie Makabai for what for my healing and restoration. I am also deeply thankful to my family, especially my mother, for standing by me during one of the most difficult periods of my life.
I thank Bro. Ronnie Makabai for praying for us tirelessly and I thank God for giving my mother the patience to take care of me.
My story is a testimony that there is nothing too difficult for the God of Bro. Ronnie Makabai and that He is still in the business of transforming lives. I hope my journey inspires others who are facing difficult situations to hold on to faith, hope, and the support of those who care about them.
When Maggots Ate My Leg… But God Ate My Pain
_A story of a wound, a verdict, and a healing hand_
I never thought I’d write these words: _maggots were coming out of my leg._
Months ago, I was on a construction site like any other day. A hammer slipped. It landed hard on my foot. I brushed it off. “Just a bruise,” I told myself. I kept working.
A few days later, the spot caved in. My leg started swelling. Fast. By the time I got to the hospital, the doctors were trying everything. But the wound wouldn’t close. Pus kept coming. The flesh kept rotting. Then the unthinkable started — maggots.
The pain was unbearable. I couldn’t walk. I couldn’t sleep. The stench pushed everyone away. Friends stopped visiting. The doctors gave me the final verdict: _amputation_. They said it was the only way to save my life.
My own hope started to rot faster than my leg.
I wanted to die! Looking at a leg that used to carry me, now decaying in front of my eyes, broke me. I called my sister with the last bit of hope I had. I told her how alone I felt. How hopeless it was.
Her answer was simple: “The only solution now is God.”
That’s when I came seeking the Almighty — the invisible healing hand that doctors can’t put on a prescription.
Bro. Ronnie Makabai prayed for me.
I can’t explain it medically. I can only tell you what happened.
From that moment, the pain left. The rotting stopped. The maggots were gone. I started walking again. Today, my leg is whole. Healthy. Restored.
Doctors did their part. I’m grateful for medicine and for the hands that tried to save me. But God is the Creator. And my healing proved to me that he alone knows the original design. And He can restore all of us back to it.
This is my testimony: Don’t give up before you give God a chance. When man reaches the end of his options, that’s where God begins His work.
“I am the Lord, who heals you.” – Exodus 15:26”
If you’re reading this and your own “leg” is rotting — maybe it’s not physical. Maybe it’s a broken marriage, an addiction, debt, depression, a diagnosis that stole your hope. You feel isolated. You feel like amputation is your only option. You feel like your situation is beyond repair?
What did you do when hope ran out? Drop your story in the comments. You’re not alone.
The Jesus Bro. Ronnie serves is still healing. Still restoring. Still making broken things whole.
HEALED FROM CERVICAL CANCER
“Mummy we know that one day we will wake up and you’ll be dead” my children said to me when my cancer diagnosis came.
For years I developed strange symptoms, I started experiencing pain in my lower abdomen, and pain in my private parts. This kept passing for an infection diagnosis in the rural area where I lived.
The pain started worsening, I started to dread menstruation because it had become a nightmare, I started padding myself because of the bloody and smelly vaginal discharge. This was constant, smelly and uncomfortable.
“I started to feel like an imposter in my own body”
At the hospital that had become my most frequent location I asked why?
After 3 years of pain a cancer screening test was done.
The answer clear as day “Cervical cancer” and without wasting a moment there came the treatment “thermal coagulation”.
This is a procedure done to kill off areas destroyed by cancer cells.
After rounds of treatment all my checkups confirmed the cancer was just progressing.
The doctors gave me their best. I was grateful but I knew I needed something or someone greater.
I asked my son, “do you know where I can get healed?”
This is when I encountered Holy City Entebbe.
I started watching ARKTV, I regained hope and with faith, I came and encountered the Jesus of Bro. Ronnie Makabai.
With a stretch of a hand, he proclaimed healing upon my body and God did it for me.
From that day the discharge stopped, the wounds healed, the smell disappeared, I felt like myself again.
“I am only a vessel that God uses to do His will, if you believe nothing is impossible…Bro. Ronnie Makabai”
With new found courage I matched to the screening room to get my test done. No cancer cells seen!!!
After that declaration that was followed by many reviews. I am consistently healthy and living a cancer free life. My children are happy knowing that their mum is alive and well.
God is still in the business of healing just as He did many years ago .
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today, and forever.”
Hebrews 13:8”
“Our Jesus Christ is alive!”
