No sick people

We had a great time of prayer last Wednesday for the HotS team. We did some warfare prayer knowing there are witchdoctors operating very close to where we pray. We also prayed for each team member individually for more faith amongst other things. We were all very positive after the prayers and feeling very encouraged. Today, we still only prayed with two people. Julia who comes most weeks for prayer as her ear problem still is not healed and for a lady whose husband left her last week leaving her with a baby to look after but no job or income. We spent some time praying for all the people we have prayed with in the past, especially one lady who had a huge growth on her ankle. We heard this week that it was diagnosed as cancer so they amputated her leg below the knee. Please pray for her as she adjusts to this big change.

Today was our last prayer time of 2010 as next week all the team will be busy running holiday clubs for the kids at Turning Point so no posts for a while but we will be back in the new year, with our missing team members back and ready for action!

Ready to change

Apologies for not posting last week, I was attending a very important conference! We prayed for a few more people this week, some with stomach problems, high blood pressure and one problem that was described as stones in the eye – sounds painful! Our friend July also returned who often stops for prayer for various things. One guy called Jackson wanted prayer to stop drinking, he said he has many problems, his wife has left because of his drinking and he wants to change. We were able to pray with him and encourage him with testimonies and he left in a very positive state.

We are hoping to meet as a team this Wednesday morning to pray together for each other and for the HotS ministry. We are wondering why less people have been stopping for prayer recently and whether we need to change anything. Mostly we just want to spend some time seeking God, His heart and plans for each of us and for the HotS prayer times.

Another quiet one

We prayed for just three people again today, it is a privilege to pray even with a few people and those few people really appreciate the prayers but we're wondering why the numbers have gone down so much from the first term. We have decided we need to take some time to pray again as a team for the ministry and align ourselves again with God's vision. We hope to do that soon before we hit the streets again.
