I need prayer!

This week everyone who stopped for prayer had been before or heard of us and knew what we were doing. Emelda sat down and stated 'I need prayer' without even greeting us! We prayed for her headache and cough and she spent a good while just quietly sitting in God's presence. She said she felt very hot and off she went!

Another lady felt pain especially in her knees and again she stayed quiet in prayer for quite a long time, just enjoying a peaceful moment. She said she felt a change as she stretched out her arms and legs testing for the pain.

Judy is a lady of persistent faith, she was coming from prayer weekly before we broke up for school holidays and only just heard we had returned. Originally she had a long list of illnesses for us to pray for, today we just prayed for her ear, the last thing that needs healing. Then maybe she will stop coming!

We also prayed with a couple of ladies who wanted to pray for their husbands who drank changaa, illegal brew, they did not care about their families and would sometimes be violent. One lady said, 'God is good and loves everyone so we need to pray for him'.
