Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow!

So, today we were in Kibera, me hungry again. TP's Pastor Shadrack was feeling very poorly, and none of the other pastors turned up. So our team was down to three, and because of this we decided just to pray for some people at the project, instead of going out and identifying a suitable site.

First we offered to pray for Pastor Shadrack. He has been sick for over a week, and the clinic he attended didn't know what the problem was. He was suffering from a bad headache, aching joints, and exhaustion. As there was Eunice, Emily & myself able to pray, we each took one thing. Em started with the headache, Eunice went on to the aching joints, and I finished with the exhaustion. After the prayer Pastor informed us that the headache had gone completely while we were praying - he'd had it for over a week so was very happy. We told him to go home and rest, and said in confidence that he'd be fine when he woke up the next day.

Then we called in Moses, who we'd previously prayed for two weeks ago. He had a very sore back, was often in a lot of pain, and sometimes couldn't really walk very well. We got ready to pray some more for him, but then he told us that he didn't want us to pray, as his back was "totally different", he was in no pain, and just wanted to thank God for his healing. We invited him to pray a prayer of thanks to God for that, which he did.

Then we prayed again for Eunice's back, and Emily's eyes, and passed on things we felt the Holy Spirit was saying which was great.

Then we finished, and Eunice received a call from Pastor Shadrack. He informed her that he wasn't going to take any of the medication he'd been given by the clinic this morning. When she asked why, he told her that it was because he hadn't even got to his home, and he felt completely better!

So roll on next week for more prayer, and maybe getting out there onto the streets!
