A good training session today. Four pastors plus Eunice, Emily & myself. After reviewing the teaching briefly, we then plunged in with some practical trials. Two of the pastors watched as they hadn't been at the last training, and the others of us split into two groups - Pastor Shadrack, Pastor Alex & Emily in one group, Eunice and myself in the other.
We had four guinea pigs, so opportunities for four of us to take the lead in the praying. It was very interesting to see different people at different levels of comfort with the style of praying - some more able to be patient, others needing to fill space with words. But we had a great time, and two of the people we prayed for could feel the Holy Spirit at work on the areas we were ministering to.
We'll be training again next week - too many of us are still having to refer to the notes to try to make sure we don't forget stuff! Also next week I think we'll be looking for a suitable venue in Mashimoni.
All in all a very encouraging and exciting day - everyone seems very enthusiastic, and willing to learn and grasp this new style of praying, however alien it may feel to them. In time it will become more natural no doubt, but at the moment it's great just to see their desire, and their shared heart for the people of Kibera.
I feel privileged to be involved with them all.
