He heals.

So, I mentioned healings. Three stick out in my mind when I think of this last trip. I’m sure there are many more. Two of them were posted on our team blog.

One was Grey Dreads. This one was cool and came in perfect timing. I was in a waiting area praying with one of my girls who was struggling with hospital ministry that day. While praying for the hospital and for her, here walks by Israel. Just when my girl was feeling the hopelessness of the hospital hope walked by. An answer to prayer. If you haven’t read the blog please do.

The second was Patience. This story features a little girl and her broken arm. One week it was broken and the next it wasn’t. I don’t know what this and the prior healing did for the recipients but what they did for my team was increase faith. I watched them through out the trip go from “God, I think you can heal people” to “Lord, I know and believe that you will heal this person.” It was really cool to watch their faith grow and develop.

Our last healing involves one of our own. It was the last night in Uganda we were heading out in the morning and one of our girls (who had been to the clinic earlier in the trip) was in major pain. On a 10 scale she was at 11. The three of us leaders looked at each other and without words decided that the Clinic was not an option. We started praying for healing. We went into her room and started praying over her as she lay crippled in pain. Our girls were in the living room. I ran in there and had them start to pray. They soon moved into the room with us and all of us prayed as she lay in bed in the fetal position crippled with pain. My co-leader lead us in worship and prayer. Numbness came over her body and she us unable to feel the pain. Soon she fell asleep and slept thru the night and was perfectly fine in the morning. This was the first healing that I have experienced first hand like that. It was an incredible feeling to know that we prayed and the Lord heard us and answered our prayer.


Like I said I’m sure there were more healings not just physical but emotional and spiritual while we were in Uganda. What I took from all of these and what you should take from this is don’t be afraid to ask big. The Lord still does miracles we just have to ask for them and believe that it can happen.
