Well, The House of God as our group formally calls themselves is definitely changing! Tonight when the hour approached to go to church, Greg said, " Well, I don't expect many will come tonight because of the rain." However, Greg was dead wrong. These people amaze me, they really do. Would you walk a mile to get to church; in the rain, in high heels, on a dirt and rock road, with a child on your back? Well I wouldn't either. However, I am not as hungry as these people. SHAME on me, I am sick at how little I care about growing in my faith, I am sick at how my simple mind thinks I had my quiet time, I prayed for 20 people, I should be done for today. These people are willing to do whatever they can just so they can hear more of what the Bible has to say. We had a full house, I mean we had to bring in 2 extra benches and they kept coming. It was like the floodgate had opened. We had about 45 in total and it was an awesome night!
I was so proud of my little Jerod. He has prayed so hard for his friends and for his group of kids and by golly if that little group of his isn't growing by leaps and bounds. Each night we have more. Tonight was a night for all boys. There were 11 in all. He is doing a great job and they really love him and well, they understand him far better than they will ever understand me because he talks like a native and well.... I don't. Anyway.... the biggest praise there is that 2 of his friends that he has prayed for, for a long time, have decided to participate the past few weeks. They used to make fun of him and try to bother all the kids while they were doing their craft, but Jerod didn't let it bother him, and now.... well, they are listening instead of being a bother. Yay God!
So after we had a great night together we walked over to Adolfo's house and gathered in his kitchen. From our large group, about 20 of them followed us to pray over Adolfo. It was a sweet time as some of the men placed their hand on Adolfo and prayed for his comfort and healing. He was humbled and very thankful. One woman told him how her daughter was dying and how our group came and prayed over her and now she is healed. It was enough to give you chills. We plan on taking him to the Dr. tomorrow. That is our desire anyway, we will see tomorrow. Please pray the family allows this and they don't just think of how much money it will cost. Thank you all for praying when you can, and if you do nothing else, just pray for our safety, cuz in this world, I think we all need prayer for that! Love you! Missy
This blog was started in 2004 when Annie was badly burnt. Over the years we have seen how God has continually provided for us and answered our many prayers.
