I think this past week , no I know that in the past week, I have spent more time praying for other people to be healed than any other time in my life. And guess what? God showed up! The group that is here from Western Illinois, I call them the Junkin 4 Jesus group because they scrape metal every month to support our ministry here, has a team member named Ryan and He has taught us all to pray boldly, and expectantly to bring healing to hurting people. We saw God do amazing things, as the Holy Spirit directed us to many people that were sick and crippled and needing a touch from God. A good friend of ours David Lara has a cancerous tumor in his saliva gland and we are watching God heal him and humble him. We prayed over him for two hours the other night and two hours the night before as we just basked in Gods presence, thanking him for what he is doing.
Rosa asked us to come to her house and pray for her vision problems that is caused by her diabetes and she went from not being able to read her bible at all, to reading it perfectly within minuets. Her neighbor had severe shoulder pain and was set free by Gods Power. We prayed for many through out the week and made a special trip to Marios, where we are watching God move him from paralyzed on his entire right side because of a tumor in his brain, to moving his arm and leg and learning how to walk again.
Oh , did I mention that we built another house for a young family? Angelo and his wife Maria have a 4 month old baby and lived in a little tiny shack and just about froze to death last week as the temperatures dipped into the low 30s at night. Well that's all in their past, because now they have a new home and a new hope. They worked hard to paint all the wood for us, and helped us while we built their home. Angelo accepted Christ Wednesday as we dedicated the house. Now this kid got radically saved!!!
Yesterday , Paula took the team to Casa Mami Orphanage, while Alan and I met the Power Ministry team at the colonia to do prep work for next weeks big build of our community center. We had loaded the vans up with hundreds of wrapped Christmas gifts given to us a few days ago to take to Mexico. Two green light later, they were all in Mexico where they belonged. Well Elma had just finished praying with the children for beans and rice as they had just run out, and BAM God shows up with a van full of beans and rice for them. When was the last time you prayed for something and God showed up that fast?
