Our time in Tanzania wound up really well. We didn’t have a lot of internet, but our 3 weeks of door to door evangelism was my favorite ministry we’ve done this year. God gave me so many opportunities to share His story and also about my faith. We had an extraordinary experience with a woman who had not walked in 4 years. Our team prayed for her on a number of different occasions and on our final day of ministry the woman walked us out the door of the house. Originally, her legs didn’t work, her eyes were glazed, and she didn’t talk at all. Over the days of prayer God revived her legs, cleared up her eyes, and allowed her to talk. I can’t explain exactly what happened inside her, but her whole family praised God for the healing she experienced. In Africa, it seems like everyone has a healing story or a family member who has been healed by God (or by a witch doctor, but that’s another blog). 
Coming from a place in my life where healing and deliverance miracles aren’t so common, it was difficult for me to decide what I think of our healing experience. I know God can do any miracles at any time, but I haven’t been exposed to things like this first hand. Maybe I limit God. I have been learning this year that a lot of people have higher expectations for God than I do in the way of miracles. I’m learning to expect more and I haven’t been disappointed yet.
Finally, the last thing that happened in our Tanzania ministry is two Muslim women gave their lives to Christ. It was a sweet ending to a good month of ministry because we had shared the gospel with one woman and followed up a few times. She kept telling me she was going to come to church and become a Christian, but we didn’t see her and I stopped expecting her to show. Then on our last day they both showed up, knelt down and asked for Jesus to be their Lord. It was beautiful to see the result when God calls people to Himself.
