SOUTH ASIA
We went to a village where there was only one Christian. The village had a curse on it that had caused many men to suffer from severe leg injuries. We met one of these men and his family. He had many rods and plates in his knees from his injury. His leg below the knee was supposed to get amputated but some Christians had come and prayed for him, and it was healed enough that it didn’t need to be amputated anymore.
BRAZIL
NORTH AFRICA
We were sitting in a living room, sipping tea and eating cookies in a Syrian refugee’s home. They welcomed us in with such beautiful hospitality and we started to get to know each other a little bit. My heart began to break as I heard bits and pieces of their story...
THAILAND
We traveled to a little village in Thailand and had the opportunity to sit down and share with underprivileged women. One of the women in particular God highlighted to my team, so we gathered around her and started talking. At the point in conversation when we asked her how we can pray for her, we learned that she had a lot of financial and health issues and that she used to go to church. The Lord put something on my heart to share with her.
SOUTH AFRICA
One day we were in a local community praying for anybody who was sick. Our team walked around and went door to door asking if there was anybody in need of healing, in hopes that we could pray for them. While we were making our way around, we came across two ladies who were lounging outside in front of their house. Like we did at all of the other houses, we asked if they were sick in any way or needed prayer. They turned us down so we moved on....
GERMANY
One night, our team was going out on ministry to connect with and share at a local youth group in Germany, which was about thirty minutes from the town where we were staying
MONGOLIA
We were part of a YWAM project to get a Bible in every home in that country, so a large part of our ministry was a combination of Bible distribution and home visits.
MEXICO
One Thursday, during Bible distribution, we came to this house that we ended up spending the entire day at. We met a 21 year old girl at this house and talked about how she knew God and the Bible. It was clear, though, that she didn’t have an actual relationship with Him. We talked with her about the difference between head and heart knowledge, but I could feel that it wasn’t the right time to ask if she wanted to receive Jesus into her heart. So we just kept talking.
FIJI
While walking home after the seminar one evening with the pastor’s daughter, I asked how she thought the seminar was going. I was asking mostly to receive some feedback on how she thought the other participants were doing with the material. Instead, she proceeded to open up her heart about what the Lord had been speaking to her...
