Pastor/Plumber

Today we met Leah who was incredibly grateful for prayers for her son, he is four years old but has the body of a two year old, he has never walked and she carries him in a leso (material sheet) on her back like a baby. He doesn't understand much of what is going on but seeing his mum was happy with the prayers he was smiling too.

We went back to Lillian's place to check on her but she had been taken to hospital for more tests on the growth on her foot. Her daughter said there had been no change since we prayed so we prayed again with her. We also prayed with a lady who had lost two of her children, she just did not know where they were and was very worried.

Two young mums shyly asked for prayer this morning for jobs and for peace in their homes, one also had a bad back. It is often humbling to see people responding in faith, however tentatively, to the offer of prayer. We often don't see people again but reading so many verses in the bible where God says that he hears the call of the weak I am confident that He is responding.

One of these ladies' sons kindly broke the water pipe next to us while he was waiting for his mum, flooding the area next to us. Pastor valiantly got soaked putting it back together.

  2. Maybe God is answering your prayers for Lillian through the hospital visit - hope she receives the correct treatment and can return to pray with you soon x
