South Africa based Prophet Shepherd Bushiri (known as Major 1) (https://www.facebook.com/shepherdbushiriministries), the founder and president of Enlightened Christian Gathering (ECG) Church, sent his spiritual son Apostle Felixosis Huios Nabi Navira (currently known as the last born of Major 1) to lead ECG Portland, Maine, in America. Now, this son has been shaking the city by surprise with mind blowing miracles as he is flowing in what he calls the “elements of his father”. Almost every Sunday, something new happens and testimonies keep coming. Among the miracles that he has done are supernatural weight loss, miracle money, debts cancellation and many more.

A recent miracle related to a medical bill, which dropped from 1.8 million USD to $63 after a prayer by the Apostle, has been amazingly shocking people in the US. Indeed, one of the main challenges in life is to keep one’s health up. If despite all precautions and efforts to stay healthy, a medical problem arises, the bills can be overwhelming. In western countries like the USA, healthcare is very expensive and the corresponding bills are costly. Despite efforts to lower the price of healthcare in the US, some people still have to pay a huge price and some cannot even afford it. Some people even die accidently because they are afraid to go to hospital and acquire more debts.

A lady in the US was sick and ended up in a coma for three months. During her stay in the coma, she was put on life support. By the time she came out of the coma, she had a medical bill of 1.8 million US dollars. Unfortunately, she did not have money to pay the bill. While trying to return to her normal life, she heard about Prophet Shepherd Bushiri (Major 1) and his church, which is headquartered in Pretoria, South Africa. Fortunately, in 2016, ECG Church opened a branch in New York and in Portland, Maine (United States). ECG Portland, Maine, is led by Apostle Felixosis Huios Nabi Navira (https://www.facebook.com/huios.felix), a Malawian-born Cisco Certified Network Expert that is walking in the shoes of his Father, Prophet Shepherd Bushiri.

Because of the miracles that lady heard about the ministries of Major 1 (https://www.youtube.com/user/propheticchannelTv), she joined ECG Church in Portland, Maine. There, she met Apostle Felixosis Huios Nabi Navira, who prayed for her. About a month later, the medical bill dropped from 1.8 million US dollars to eleven thousands. Then, the lady returned back to church and the Apostle prayed for her again. Afterwards, the bill dropped from eleven thousands to four thousands. As she kept believing, she went back to the Apostle who prayed for her again. This time, the bill dropped from four thousands to sixty three dollars.

What a miracle! Praised be to God for His healing grace!

This miracle should not be surprising as Apostle Felixosis has an impressive prophetic grace upon his life. As a beloved spiritual son of Major Prophet Shepherd Bushiri (Major One) (http://shepherdbushiriinvestments.com), the Apostle is surely anointed by his father who trusts him well enough to ask him to lead ECG America. This can also explain why in less than six months, ECG Portland, Maine, has been already making the news in Maine, USA! As a responsible, responsive, and organized leader, Apostle Felixosis Huios Nabi Navira has a great vision about his calling and the things he wants to do in life. He really cares for the people he oversees and wants to win more souls for the Lord. He is a great motivator who likes to encourage people to trust in the God of Major1 (http://shepherdbushiriministries.org), who can do anything anytime. Under the anointing of his father Major 1 and grandpa (Prophet Uebert Angel), Apostle Felixosis Huios Nabi Navira is surely going to be one of the leaders who will play a crucial role in the prophetic and financial revolution that will positively shake the US very soon. To be in touch with news concerning the prophetic revolution in the US or learn more about ECG Portland, Maine, please visit them at 1844 Forest Avenue, Portland, Maine, 04103.

Without a doubt, Africa is being torn apart by many political problems indeed, but the recent Ebola outbreak was very catastrophic. This sad situation that affected some countries such as Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea, etc., is calling for action. If the world keeps ignoring the neglected disease in Africa, it will be surprised by the cost of the consequences.

Efforts are being made to try to help the afflicted countries to recover from the Ebola devastation. So far, more than $50 million has been raised for the affected countries. The African Union has called all countries to cancel the debt of the countries affected by Ebola. Right now, although we do not hear about Ebola as much and the crisis is fading, we should not think that Ebola is cured and the epidemic will not happen again! Ebola has been going back and forth since many decades. A global strategy is needed to ensure this problem is tackled from all possible angles.

Summits and other types of conferences have been done to try to address the Ebola crisis. On February 6, 2015, a historical Forum was held on Africa Healthcare Reform at the African Union Mission in Washington DC. That meeting drew some of the top African professionals and stakeholders operating in the healthcare field in the USA. DiasporaEngager https://www.diasporaengager.com was privileged to be invited at that high level meeting led by Mr Melvin Foote, the founder and president of Constituency for Africa (CFA). The need is to “collaborate and cooperate, not just help” Africa, as mentioned by Dr. Roscoe M. Moore Jr. (retired US Assistant Surgeon General) who is the Interim Chair of CFA and also the Chair of the Africa Healthcare Infrastructure Committee.

The statistics of the African professionals living in the diaspora are alarming. As of 2015, more than 135,000 doctors and nurses trained in Africa are living in the diaspora. More than 50,000 Nigerian doctors are living in North America alone. It is shocking to know that there are more medical doctors from Benin living in France than doctors living in Benin. The sad thing is that “people don’t listen to Africa and its diaspora, because the Africans don’t have a voice”, said Prof. Allen Herman, founding Dean of the National School of Public Health in South Africa. The minds and the ideas to reform healthcare in Africa are not what lack. One of the problems is that many outsiders of Africa do not want to empower the identity of the Africans, but instead they prefer the Africans to celebrate theirs. However, as pointed out by Dr Julius Garvey (a USA board certified surgeon and son of the legendary pan-Africanist Marcus Garvey Jr.), the African healthcare problem is not just a brain drain issue. Even if all the diaspora healthcare workers return to Africa, it will solve just about 10% of the human resource problem. A paradigm ship is needed, and the colonial healthcare system in Africa needs to be reformed. Africa must design a curriculum so that its healthcare specialists can be trained quickly rather than trying to follow the long medical training period required in western countries. Instead of trying to train “degree nurses”, Africa must train its healthcare personnel to address the need quickly.

Unfortunately, many African leaders are not considering healthcare as a top priority. At the same time, many nonprofits funded by Western countries are dominating the healthcare system in African without really contributing to the true solution. Therefore, it is imperative that the African governments give a priority to healthcare issues in their national medical budget. Additionally, African governments must better regulate their healthcare system so that outsiders do not continue to dictate what needs to be done. To succeed in this effort, religious practices and faith actions must also be considered and fostered. To fully address the issues, efforts must be made regarding:

• African healthcare system strengthening
• Healthcare system management
• Testing centers and traditional medicine
• Leadership and Behavior changes
• Training of healthcare workers
• Healthcare job creation
• Media education about healthcare
• Investment programs
• Reform of healthcare professional traveling requirement
• Agriculture implication in healthcare
• Center for Disease Control creation

African Diaspora must take the lead to reform Healthcare Infrastructure in Africa. And this reform must be done in partnership with Africa, which needs to take action and not just be waiting for free gifts from some westerners who, oftentimes, do not have Africa’s interest as their main priorities. DiasporaEngager salutes the creation of the Africa Healthcare Infrastructure Committee.

Let’s keep in mind that Ebola is just one of the major diseases that are devastating Africa. What can we say about HIV, Malaria, and Tuberculosis?
