While I cant take credit for this story, I look forward with great expectation to my time on the field when I can share first-hand about what the Lord is doing throughout the world. For now, here is a story of how the Free Gift of Salvation we celebrate this weekend, changed a village……..
Not even a minute after we finished we had reassembled ourselves in the truck, but as it turns out the Lord had more for that moment then we knew. A petite middle aged women shyly peeked into the truck and asked for prayer. As we gathered around her she asked again and again, ‘Are you sure this is free, are you sure, are you sure I don’t have to pay?’
We reassured her and told her of the great price that had ALREADY been paid by the blood of Christ…
….then we proceeded to pray.
As we did this, people from every which way started making their way closer to our group. Person after person asked for prayer, and soon we were surrounded by a constant flow of 30+ people.
Countless people were healed that day, and as they left they made their way to friends and family to speak of what been done.
Long after we left the Lord continued to work in that town and the story of His power spread. We received many phone calls from those who were healed wanting to know when we were coming back. A church WILL be started there…. one of the men who was healed gave our contact a piece of land to build on because, he said,
‘I must see my village saved’.
