On November 12, 2.19, Bonnke wrote on his Facebook Page what he termed “A personal matter” to announce that he had a successful right femur bone surgery.
He wrote; “My dearest prayer partners,
“It is my desire to share with you my present situation. I definitely need your prayers, as Paul the Apostle needed it from the early churches for his personal needs.
“Right now, I am in hospital and have undergone a right femur bone surgery. All has gone well so far, but now I have to add a few weeks of learning to walk again. My spirit is rejoicing, especially when I think of you. I have been able to pray for you and your very many needs and am asking you to pray for me now. I will read every reply and thank you in anticipation and in the Name of Jesus.
“Pressing towards the mark with jubilation.”
