Sometimes, we have a lot of fun. Prom on the World Race!
These last two months have been incredible! Katie and I have been able to lead a group of 56 people as they follow after God and seek to change the world. In the process, we’ve seen incredible changes in these sons and daughters of God, and we’ve seen Him at work in and through them. Here are two short stories to give you a taste of what I get to see every day!
ONE: While traveling from Ecuador to Peru, our squad stopped at a border town called Tumbes. While walking through the city center, some of our participants came across a woman who was sick, physically disabled and begging. She had an abdominal tumor and was in pretty rough shape. Our teams decided to pray for her and ask God to heal her broken body. As they were speaking words of life over her she stood up, her back straightened and she began dancing around-something she had not done in years. Her tumor (visibly) went away and instantly she began praising God. This quickly drew a crowd, as many of the locals had seen this deformed woman begging day after day. People started bringing children, friends and family to our squad pleading with them to pray over them as well. They knew the power of God was at work here and they wanted to be a part of it.
TWO: One of the beautiful women on our squad spoke with us the other night about some intense shame that she had been carrying. She shared about the horrific things that had been done to her and the guilt she had because of it. She felt as though she was a disappointment to God and to everyone around her. After some conversation, prayer, and the incredible work of God, she was able to shed the weight of guilt and shame that she had carried with her for all of her young adult life and experience the love of the Father. She was able to see that God is a Father who loves her and desires to see her walk in freedom! Freedom from the power of sin, guilt, shame and condemnation.
These are just two amazing ways that God has worked among His people. There are many more stories of physical, emotional and spiritual healing that have happened in just these two short months. It’s the most incredible honor that God chooses to use us to bring the knowledge of His love and grace among the men and women of W Squad! There is absolutely nothing else I’d rather be doing with my life right now.
Kyle Dennard, amazing man of God who brings such joy to my life!
Keep praying for us and for these amazing children of God as there are so many more walls that need to come down, so much more guilt and shame that needs to be relieved, and so much more love to be experienced. Thanks for standing with us as we fight to reveal the truth, love and grace of this incredible God we serve! We really are living our dream!
A quick stop by a little place called Machu Picchu. Pretty awesome!
