Astonishing True Story of the Miracles That Are Changing Africa

Born into a long line of witch doctors, Surprise ("Surpresa") Sithole was destined for a life of fear, oppression, and poverty in the jungles of Africa. But at the age of fifteen, he was awakened in the middle of the night by an unfamiliar voice. Urgent, but not harsh, it told him to get up and leave his family immediately. As Surprise stepped out into the night, away from everything dear to him, he had no idea who God was--or what he had in store for him.

From miraculous signs and wonders to supernatural deliverance from certain death to divine revivals that overtook countries, Surprise has followed wherever God has led, becoming an agent of hope and change in a continent devastated by war, poverty, and spiritual oppression. Voice in the Night is the amazing true story of what began that night in a jungle hut more than twenty-five years ago: a journey--an adventure--of faith and miracles.

I loved this book and was so sad to see it end. I have listened to Pastor Surprise's messages and his natural storytelling style will grab you from start to finish. My faith, joy, and belief in the miraculous has definitely been fortified. Everyone should read this book. Can't wait to read the next one!

A powerful account of first hand experiences that simply cannot be denied as supernatural. The way the Lord used Surprise is miraculous and amazing will equally inspiring. I know the Lord is no respecter of persons and I pray that my life will say one thing as did Surprise's life; the Name of Jesus!
