No more till May

Another week, another Monday, and another opportunity for people in Kibera to experience God's love for them through His healing power.

And it was another busy week, with more reports of healings from previous weeks. One lady that we prayed for last week was so grateful for the healing she received that this week she came with a thank offering of money - needless to say we pointed out that the healing ministry is free, and she went away even happier!

Maximilla has a serious problem with her left eye, and last week came for prayer. Last week she couldn't distinguish anything through her eye, now she can see light and dark. We prayed that God would continue the healing He has started.

Other prayers this week were said for diabetes, toothache, healing from burns, chest problems, malaria, sore rashes, reuniting of families, one lady with an alcoholic husband who regularly beats her, and a few who need employment. Some of these people had tried doctors, clinics, and various different medications without any improvement, some came to us deliberately, others were attracted by the offer of something for free. All received prayer, and we believe the Holy Spirit was with us once again, and even now is healing those we were privileged to pray with.

I'm still fasting on a Monday, and plan to continue as I'm still enjoying it, and find I am more spiritually aware on a Monday than on other days! However, last night I woke up in the night, with the words in my head "you are released from your fast". It was as if God was saying to me "you fasted when I asked you to fast, and now I'm releasing you". So now it's a personal choice, rather than something I feel God is compelling me to do.

The Turning Point project closes for the Easter break this week, so our HotS ministry will take a break too. We are excitedly looking forward to May 3rd when we'll be back out there, and Emily will be back with us, and we can be witnesses to God's heart in action for the poor of this world.

So, to God be the Glory, great things He has done!
