Openess in J City...

Hey all


Here's a quick testimony from the team.


Well the other day we went into a slum area in the city. We saw it on our sheet as a slum area so we thought why not go there and see. So we got in 3 taxi's and told the cab driver to take us there. We just walked through the place, meeting people and trying to find the need for this area.

To my surprise, not only were the children so excited to see white people but they also started to follow us! It wasn't long before we had 50 kids around us!

On our way home we also met a lady who had a disability and we spoke about the need with her. Little did we know she was connected to a disabled people association and they were having their annual meeting the next day!

We went back the next day after p.rayer and seeking the Lor.d for these people. one of our girls took some people to go to their annual meeting and doors just flew open. She, and some others were able to p.ray for many and they saw a few get better that day too!

Meanwhile God had spoke to another one of our girls the night before about washing woman's feet in the slum area. Her, and two others started with just one or two older woman and that just blew open doors all over the place. They were able to share why they were doing this and were able to have full one-on-one sharing with a translator to many woman. Then these woman started asking for pr.ayer for all kinds of things. They were crying because they were being so bless.ed!

The rest of us heard from Go.d about doing games with the kids and doing face painting. We had an amazing time of simply loving on all the kids.

A thing that really stood out to me about this day is how bles.ed the parents were when we bl.ess the kids.

Another awesome encouragement is that their were quite a lot of Chri.stians that came out with us and many of them were real encouraged. I prayed for a guy who was partially blind with one of the translators from the chur.ch. She saw this guy get partially better and was so encouraged. She had never done anything like that before and was really blown away!

The day was gold.
