God is the Healer
By on September 8, 2008
Charlene, our Outreach Staff Director, recently shared this testimony in her newsletter. I loved it so much, I just had to share it here.
“Our summer interns spend time in our local village, Intabazwe. They are encouraged to really get to know a few families by continuing to spend time with them in discipleship and prayer. Several interns became friends with an elderly lady named Rosalinda. They met Rosalinda the first day of ministry and learned that she had suffered a stroke two months before, which left her partially paralyzed on her left side and unable to walk. They prayed for her healing that day and saw little change.
“As a group they decided that they would make sure someone visited Rosalinda everyday and prayed for her. After three weeks of persistence, they not only told Rosalinda about the love of Christ, but they showed it. On the last day of ministry, they knocked on the door and for the first time, Rosalinda walked to the door and opened it proclaiming ‘Praise the Lord!’”

I am encouraged. It a time where to even pause to speak to one another is considered a burden it is good to see the success of much pausing and prayer.
Maybe I will pause and talk with the man who motors down my road in his wheelchair…just maybe…I should pray also.
