When a man who fights sorcerers and magicians in Africa connects with a non-sorcerer magician and illusionist, you get a unique, colorful Miracles & Atheists experience…and that’s what we’re bringing you today!

While our atheist guest demanded proof, our Christian guest pushed back with experience.  It all ended with a unique challenge…

FIGHTING WITCH DOCTORS & CREATING ILLUSIONS

 

Back by popular demand is Evangelist Patrick Wandera of Uganda, Africa.  Patrick has a strong calling on his life to battle witch doctors, magicians and sorcerers to set them free.  He serves as a full-time minister of The Gospel with Deliverance Church Makerere Hill in Kampala, Uganda. Patrick serves The LORD through open air and conference speaking and he has ministered all over the East African region and beyond in the power of the Holy Spirit, with signs and wonders following.  Patrick has authored many powerful deliverance books such as Seven Years in Hell, a Few Minutes in Heaven and Soul Merchants.

Who better to put on with Pastor Patrick than a magician??!! Well, not the kind of magician Patrick Wandera is used to dealing with (he’s not a sorcerer), but a professional magician and illusionist who performs tricks from the UK, Greg Craddock.  Greg is an atheist, food and film connoisseur.  He says he’s yet to see any supernatural event that he cannot explain or replicate.

Greg contends that the supernatural has yet to be shown as a thing or to exist and he wanted to be on Miracles & Atheists to, in his words, “expose the ridiculous.”

What “proof” would you need from God if He really exists?  Could you respond to this question with a serious answer?

It’s a unique and colorful episode we know you’ll remember.
