In Tanzania, Sarah Pena from V squad had a touching moment with
two local girls. She shared with them how she and her husband were unable
to have a baby and the girls were filled with such compassion that they began
to cry and pray for her. Sarah was overwhelmed by their empathy and was
filled with fresh hope as God touched her through these Tanzanian women.
These girls were seeing my desire for a child, but more than that,
a desire for God’s will in my life, and they hurt for me. But they also
had hope for me.
They also prayed that God would have His way. And
I was so blessed that day. I was blessed to have the body of Christ
encouraging me and lifting me up in something that has been extremely difficult
for me.
Sarah Schrack, Y squad leader, had incredible encounters with
the Lord the past months in Africa. One baby boy was sick and refusing to
eat for days. Sarah prayed and spoke to boy to ‘wake up and eat’. The boy
looked at her, cried for his mom and became hungry again!
Check out what happened during a house visit:
We were doing door to door house visits. The Lord had told me
earlier that day that there was a leg that was going to be healed. Sure enough,
first house we go into there’s a woman walking with a cane.I tell her,
“God wants to heal you today,” and start praying. When we finish, she
stiffly walks us out but she walks us out! 10 minutes previously that was
impossible for her!
The next day, we get a call from her. She wanted me to know
that she woke up with NO pain and she threw out the cane she’s been using for
years!!!”
Shay Isaacs from A squad has struggled with grinding her teeth
in her sleep most of her life. Last week, the pain in her jaw made smiling, talking or eating almost unbearable.
Phillip, her
squad leader, prayed for her when she began feeling her face getting hot and
tingly. When Phillip stopped praying, she realized that all the pain in
her jaw was gone.
She couldn’t stop smiling as she ate dinner with her
squad leaders. It’s been over a week and she still has no pain!
