A Nigerian woman moved an entire church congregation to tears after revealing she had donated one of her kidneys to her husband of 26 years, and then asked for prayers for his failing kidney rather than her own deteriorating health. The emotional moment unfolded at a large church conference in Nigeria, held under a banner reading "Forces That Destroy Kings."
Woman's Selfless Plea Stuns Congregation
During a testimony and prayer segment, a pastor with a handheld microphone asked the woman to share her story in front of rows of seated attendees. She told Apostle Johnson Suleman that she had donated a kidney to her husband after he developed kidney disease. When asked how long the couple had been married, she replied, "26 years," and noted that she was now living on a single kidney.
She revealed that the one remaining kidney she kept for herself had developed a renal cyst, and the congregation's emotion was palpable. But what stunned the room most was what the woman said next. Rather than ask for prayers for her own deteriorating health, she requested that the pastor focus on healing the kidney she had given to her husband, which was also beginning to fail.
Church Prays for Couple
With the congregation visibly shaken, the pastor called both the woman and her husband forward and asked everyone present to stretch out their hands toward the couple. He led a prayer asking God to perform a miracle, specifically requesting that when the husband returned to the same hospital where he had been tested, doctors would find something extraordinary.
