This Man Just Wanted to Walk

We saw this man coming up the road dragging himself with a bamboo  pole.  How he made it we don't know. We asked him what he wanted and he said he had been prayed for a lot but never healed and he wanted to walk. So as you can see one of our team members (actually two prayed together for him but one is not in the picture, he is kneeling praying for the man. ) the man was instantly healed and he is crying because he has wanted to walk for so long.

Here you see the man dancing. He danced and danced and cried and danced. Then when we were praying for someone else he also came and prayed along with us.  He is the sweetest man. We are going back up to the mountain village soon and hope to see him there.  What a miracle and what a happy man.

She Just Wanted to Hear for the First Time

This sweet woman had been told that we were there at a Pastor's  home at a small mountain village and we saw her coming across the road. We don't know how far she had walked.  She was totally deaf and wanted to hear like everyone else. We prayed for her and the first time she could hear a little  bit. So we prayed again and then asked her if she could hear better and she said she could hear us whisper.  God is good. 

Teaching the young to pray

This woman was in extreme pain. From a # 1 being the lowest to #10 being the highest level of pain she had been in #10 amount of pain for a long time. We will probably never get up to this mountain village again so we were teaching the young people to pray for eachother and those who needed prayer and heaing.  This young man prayed for her and she was instantly healed. No pain at all. The young man had been having kidney pain for quite a while so we had another young person come up and pray for him and again the healing was instant.

Team Praying for a Young Lady

Our Team praying for a young girl from a mountain village who wanted prayer. 

They are so precious

These two were standing in the street. They are wearing a shirt and top that we gave to their village.  They wouldn't come to me  so I took out my trusty little camera and took a picture of them and then slowly moved close to them and turned the camera so they could see the picture of themselves. Slowly I moved towards them and then the curiosity got to them and they climbed over the rocks to come and see. As they looked I gently touched their shoulders and talked to them even though we speak a different language and then they allowed me to give them a hug.  They are so precious.

The Recent Flood January 2017

This is the latest flood, the picture at the bottom is of  Rey, our anok  lalaki (adopted son and his family , we consider him and his family as our family ) he is trying to get to his balay (home) which is off the picture to the right you cannot see it.  This is his 4th flood recently.The 2nd picture was early in the flood and they are trying to get to safe land. It got worse as the day and night went on.  There have been many instances of children drowning and people dying in their cars when they were trying to get to safety and the flood waters overflow their cars and they cannot get out.  These people are amazing! They just build and start life again.  They lose all food and the water is contaminated with garbage and human waste because many, many do not have toilets and running water and things like in the U.S.  We have grown to love these people and it breaks our hearts. The man who manages the apartment we are in was flooded and the people all around us. Churches flooded. One of our dear Pastor friends , his home and church were totally flooded as were many others and also business's and especially homes.

Mark at Jail

Mark was asked to speak at the jail, the response to his message was awesome.  He told them that this was serious and not to respond and stand  unless they were serious and as you can see they really want a better life and Mark told them what the key to it was.
