The Sun Nigeria

There’s hope for Nigeria, says American cleric, Lawson

From Okwe Obi, Abuja

Despite economic austerity and dilapidated health sector, an American pastor, Lincoln Wentworth Lawson, has encouraged citizens to be hopeful for better days.

This is even as he appealed to doctors and other health workers to show empathy to patients who may not have resources to seek medical care.

Lawson stated this ahead of a programme tagged: “Miracle Mantle Crusade “ holding at the Moshood Abiola Stadium, Abuja, tomorrow.

He said his mission to Nigeria was to use his God given gift to heal those with health challenges such as cancer, autism, diabetes among others

“Nigeria is a special place, that informs my choice of coming to Nigeria for the healing crusade. Nigerians are lovers of worship and praises to God. So it is easy for someone who loves God to get healed than those who don’t love God. In America, for instance, the first thing they care about is medicine , chemotherapy, dialysis and so on.”

He complained said most health workers are only after making profit, instead of saving and touching lives  positively.

“The life of Lincoln Lawson is one marked by a profound transformation—from a successful Hollywood actor to a spiritual healer known as the “Miracle Missionary.

“Lawson once graced television screens with roles in popular shows like ‘The Sopranos’, ‘Law & Order’, ‘The West Wing,’ and ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ along with appearances in commercials for major brands such as Burger King, Nike, and Volkswagen,” he added.
