As I sit in the Beijing airport for 14 hours wondering what Chinese people do with their spare time since Facebook, Youtube, Hulu, and Twitter are all blocked (no wonder they get so much accomplished) I thought that I might tell all of you the end of our story with Moses.
Three weeks ago in Granada, Nicaragua five of us prayed over a man, Moses. He was living on the streets and addicted to cocaine and alcohol. He told us he wanted so badly to have a different life and to be free from his addictions. We prayed over him right there in the streets and at the end he was absolutely glowing and praising God. He then led us to a park and talked to us for hours about his life and about Jesus.
We thought we would never see him again. However, by chance we ended up in Granada again for a few days before we flew out to Asia. Every time I walked down the street I searched the faces of every man to see if it was Moses. I had given up hope of ever seeing him again as time drew near for us to leave. I walked into our hostel ready to get on the bus for Managua and there he was! He was overjoyed to see us. He had all new cloths on and looked like a completely different person. He had a job, a new place to live, has found a new church that he attends twice a week, and is three weeks clean and sober. We laughed together like old friends and prayed together.
It was so amazing to see what the power of God can do in a person’s life and how His strength is so much greater than our own. Moses will always have a place in our hearts and I will never stop praying for him.
I do hope this all makes sense, since I am so jetlagged that nothing makes sense and everything is hilarious but I hope to blog again soon…from THAILAND!!
Happy Easter! Praise Jesus for making us all new in Him, for being the Savior we can turn to when realize that we cannot save ourselves.
