Much has been written on disability care and support from human rights, cultural, and religious perspectives around the world. However, there is still a paucity of information on the experiences of Persons with Disability (pwd) in their divine healing and deliverance encounter with the African Pentecostal Churches (apc) in Zimbabwe. This qualitative phenomenological study seeks to establish the lived experiences of 28 pwd s within the selected four apc s operating in the Harare province of Zimbabwe. The central questions underpinning this study were whether pwd need divine healing, and are they getting healed? The study used the religious model of disability and the Pentecostal ‘hermeneutic of healing’ as theoretical frameworks. While healing is essential to physical life, the findings show that pwd need dignity, recognition, and compassion more than the uncertain promises of divine healing. In the premises of the preceding, the study concludes and recommends that pwd receive holistic material and psychosocial support and that they stop endlessly chasing after a physical healing.

从世界各地的人权、文化和宗教角度来看，关于残疾护理和支持的文章很多。然而，仍然缺乏关于残疾人 ( pwd ) 在与津巴布韦非洲五旬节教会 ( apc )的神圣医治和拯救相遇的经历的信息。这项定性的现象学研究旨在确定在津巴布韦哈拉雷省运营的选定 4 个apc 中 28 个pwd 的生活经历。支撑这项研究的核心问题是pwd需要神的医治，他们得到医治了吗？该研究使用残疾的宗教模型和五旬节派的“治愈诠释学”作为理论框架。虽然医治对物质生活至关重要，但研究结果表明，与神圣医治的不确定承诺相比，pwd 更需要尊严、认可和同情。在上述前提下，该研究得出结论并建议残疾人接受全面的物质和社会心理支持，并停止无休止地追求身体康复。
