The God bit first….last night, we were in a church I went to in July for the first time – I don’t know the name, but the pastor, Hector Fabio Rios, is a lovely man. Again, Kristin and Andreas both spoke really well: Kristin about the woman with the issue of blood (which, as she started, I pointed Andreas to my Bible and my bullet note (freudian slip for Colombia, huh? – bullet note!) – about the woman with the issue of blood!!) – and Andreas telling testimonies of Jesus, raising faith with almost each word. I found myself ‘winging it’ again (I still find that both wonderful and scary, even after all these years!).

The response was almost 100% for prayer, if not total… my first two were people who told me that God had miraculously healed them in July, one of long term asthma, another of …guess what…? – osteoarthritis…. so it’s a great way to begin a ministry time on the back of miracles just three months ago. First, were Victor and his wife Luz Dary, leaders in the church. Victor is under ‘threat’ from prostate issues, not yet ‘biopsied’ so not known if it’s malignant. Luz Dary… head to toe …. (trumpet blast!) osteoarthritis! – due in hospital next Friday for surgery on her knees  🙂 – in chronic pain (tell me!)… in tears with the pain, in fact…. well…the tears turned to tears of joy…the pain went – in her hole body… she sat there, bending her knees, then got up, then walked, then jumped up and down…arms in the air, thanking God…crying, laughing…running to tell the pastor…Victor’s issue is a little more difficult to testify to! – I did tell him I wouldn’t lay my hands on his ‘problem’, which made him laugh…ad my experience of laughter, when in ministry times, frequently now means that God has healed the person…

There were yet more arthritis sufferers, a serious Class A/1 diabetic, a lovely lady with a catalogue of 9/10 pain in much of her body, but refusing to go to the doctor as she believed God would heal her….I think her name was Carmen

…a young woman with acute ovarian problems, prayed for in July when I first visited Hector’s church, was healed then, and healed of body pain this time..

I sometimes feel that the blog is a bit like a ‘stuck record’ as truly, I could go on and on telling testimony after testimony of miracles and healing, of course, many of them have similar problems, but no matter what the problem is, God heals them here…
