Arise

Pastor and I were the only pray-ers today and we were busy! We prayed for knee pain, a wrist injury, stomach ulcers and skin disease. Two friends asked us for free medicine and walked away when we said we were offering prayers, but they got somewhere down the road and hit a spark of faith, they decided to come back so we prayed for Cornelius' back pain.

Margaret had pain in her knees, back and head which had gone by the end of the prayers, she wanted to bring her child next Monday. I was reading in Psalms this morning that the Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord is on his heavenly throne and he says 'because of the oppression of the weak and the groaning of the needy, I will now arise'. And I was imagining the mighty God rising from his heavenly throne on behalf of those we were praying for.

Eunice is ill with pneumonia, Godwill is busy with work, and Florence came late today that's why they did not join us. So please pray for God to protect our team

Nearly missed it!

There weren't too many people stopping for prayer again today but maybe it will take a while for word to spread that HotS is happening again. This morning thus involved a lot of sitting and waiting. Florence and Eunice were called to pray for someone in their house, they had a growth on their foot and could not walk to our prayer spot.

Another young guy asked very shyly what we were doing, he practically had his back turned to us as he asked. He was expecting us to have some free dawa (medicine) but he was open to prayer too so we prayed for his stomach which has given him pain for a long time.

Just as we were packing up to leave, having waited a good 20 minutes without anyone stopping a lady came and asked us to pray for her. She had several problems including a growth on her throat around the size of a golf ball, a bad cough and chest pain and pain that spread from her back around her waist. The only symptom she was feeling when she sat down was the back pain, when she should up to test it afterwards the pain had gone.

Hopefully that is a step towards a complete healing, we invited her back for more prayer next week. She caught us just in time to go home pain-free! God is good.

HotS Returns

We returned to our spot in the alley outside the Turning Point compound this week to offer prayer for healing. It was good to be back meeting new people and having the opportunity to listen and share in their struggles with them. This week we only prayed for one ill person directly, otherwise we prayed with people who had children or other family members who were sick in the house or upcountry.

During the break Godwill has been continuing with some ad hoc healing on the streets around his home, some of his neighbours heard about what he was doing on mondays and called him to their house when they had a problem with their knees. The next day after he had prayed he had a call to say the pain was nearly gone.
