doing ministry in the villages near Lilongwe, was the home of an older
couple, the Jackson’s. They are Christians and attend church in
their village. We asked if they had a prayer request before we
left and they asked us to pray for their health. Mr. Jackson told
us that he has tuberculosis and his wife has high blood pressure. As I
prayed for the wife she said that she felt her heart rate go down
immediately.
The next day we went to visit them to
see how they were doing. Mr. Jackson was so happy to see us. As
we walked up he came out to greet us. He told us that his wife
slept through the whole night without waking up. He said that she
usually wakes up in sweats every night and has to go outside to get
fresh air. Mr. Jackson told us that his wife knew we were coming
to the village again today so she had gone to look for us to give us
her praise report and ask for more prayer. Mr. Jackson also informed us
that all his symptoms of tuberculosis had left his body as well.
Behind us is where he sews and makes clothes for people. He
told us that it was easier to work now that all the hiccups had
stopped! We were so happy to rejoice with him and praise God. Our
God is a good and healing God! 
Mr. Jackson gave us a sack of fresh
mangos for stopping by and praying for them. He requested a Bible
and Jared and I were able to get him one. We also added a pen and
notebook to take notes for their Bible study. In the front of his
notebook I wrote a lot of physical healing scriptures and many
scriptures on peace and joy. They were so thankful. Thank all of you
who are helping Jared and me with our personal finances on this trip;
because of this we were able to buy the Bible, notebook and pen.
Please put this Godly couple on your
personal prayer lists and those of your church and small groups.
Pray for continued good health and prosperity for this aging couple.
