It’s been great, visiting the churches whose kids were involved in the camps. To see the increase in passion and love for Christ as well as the continuation of being involved in ministry. It’s translated into souls being won for Christ.
Last Sunday morning I listened as children gave testimonies as to how God had used them in ministry during the week. Remembering the words spoken over them at the altar during camp, we had prayed over them the previous Sunday to be used during the week to go out and touch and heal people.
One girl, Opana, told of seeing a woman who had a problem with her eye. The eye was swollen and had all sorts of stuff running down the woman’s face. Opana went to the woman and asked her if she could pray for her and the woman told her to go away, because the doctors couldn’t help her. “What can you, a little girl do for me?!!” She said. “Go away.”
But Opana didn’t give up. She responded to the woman that she couldn’t do anything, but that Jesus was the one that could heal her; and she asked the woman again if she could pray for her. The old lady said, “Ok, fine. Go ahead and pray for me, but if I don’t get healed; don’t be surprised or get disappointed!”
So, Opana bowed her head, placed her hand on the woman and prayed for her to be healed in Jesus name.
The next day as Opana was passing by where the woman was, she saw that the eye had cleared up and was no longer swollen or running. When the old woman saw Opana, she was so happy and thanked her for praying; that now she could travel to Windhoek without any problems. Opana reminded the woman that it wasn’t her that healed, but that it was Jesus who saves and heals.
Then, nine year old Stephen testified about how he went to a soccer game and was watching the men play soccer. One of the men crashed into the goalie and broke the goalie’s leg. He was in a lot of pain and couldn’t stand. Afterwards, as he was lying down off the playing field, Stephen went up and spoke to the man, asking him if he could pray for him. The man said “Yes.” And so Stephen prayed for him.
The next day, instead of seeing the man in a cast or lying down, Stephen saw the man at work and asked him how he was. The man thanked Stephen for praying for him and was so happy that the Lord had healed him so he could still work and earn money for his family.
