Florence came rushing into the project late this morning, she was determined to join the prayer team so she downed her morning tea and mandazi at a speed which probably made her feel a little queezy. Soon enough she was back out the gate on her way to pray.
The team was somewhat reduced today as I was busy with visitors while Godwill had other work. So Pastor, Eunice and Florence were the only ones. They prayed for people with stomache aches, ear aches and malaria and for a lady preparing for her mother-in-law's funeral.
To be honest I don't know much more about what happened but Florence was very happy to have been on the team when I saw her afterwards. Its very cool to see others get excited about what God is doing and want to be a part of it.

Lucky Lucy
There was quite a sense of peace today as we prayed, sat and waited to see what God would get up to this week. The HotS model is all about praying gently and operating out of a place of peace. To me it seemed God established an atmosphere of peace from the beginning. Sometimes I feel restless waiting for people to stop but today I was able to be patient.
We prayed for two people with asthma, as well as, blood pressure (I don't know if it was too low or too high, it just wasn't right!), malaria, cancer and a swollen hand. We took the opportunity between patients to pray for friends upcountry in the advanced stages of AIDs
One lady returned for the third week in a row still seeking and believing for healing in her ear and the pain in her side. Hesbon the sausage seller also returned for a chat and for more prayers for his business and family. We also prayed for twin babies Lucky and Lucy, Lucky had a skin problem down the right hand side of her face while Lucy had a nasty cough.
We prayed for a guy a couple of weeks ago who was standing just down the alley from us talking and shouting constantly without making any sense. Though we could not convince him to come for prayer we prayed for him from a distance for deliverance. He walked past us today quiet and calm, certainly a change from last time we saw him.

Learning on the job
The open sewer running through our prayer spot had been freshly cleared this morning which made the smell particularly pungent, we had to re-order our stools a little so nobody had their feet in sewage but otherwise it was a good morning of prayer. We prayed with around nine people altogether although extras came to find us in the project after we had packed away asking for prayer.
We prayed for those with chest pain, skin disease, hip and joint pain, stomach aches, unemployment and family problems. One single mother came for healing for ulcers, she has no husband and no job or business with which to support her kids, the stress she felt was visible so we prayed for healing and peace and for some way to provide for her kids. Two people returned this week, one lady had less pain in her side after we prayed last week and so asked us to pray again. One man had not seen any change since we prayed and did not want us to pray again.
After praying this week, Eunice was telling us how she often feels tired after doing the HotS ministry because sometimes its like the Holy Spirit in her is fighting with other spirits and she is caught in the middle of the battle. She says she has learnt a lot through doing this prayer, particularly in discerning between spirits and learning to listen to God's voice and guidance. So we continue to learn as we go.
