Book of Acts, Page 73
Hey guys:
My life remains absolutely ridiculous. The team in Kajo Keji is super cool. Keep praying for us, we’re doing all sorts of stuff. We have a team strengthening a baby church that’s recently undergone persecution. The Seed Effecters are training, and loaning, being all around awesome. Thanks to them, I’m sitting in an Internet Cafe in Sudan. Ridiculous.
Remember the team in Kapoeta/Riwoto, Sudan. We got to hang out together in Amsterdam. I love those guys so much. Patricia Caroom and Robert Gunn and crew are so dogged and committed. Please pray for them.
Quick Story.
I’m sitting under a tree watching Tara Kohlbacher tell a group about Jesus. After awhile, I strike up a conversation with a guy named Francis. My translator, Kenny, says Francis wants to talk in private so we get up and walk over to his home.
At his home, I meet Christian, Francis’s wife. She crawls out of her garden. She only has one leg and the other is scarred and twisted from when she stepped on a landmine. We just talk. I tell her my testimony and that God loves her; tell her a little about Jesus, then she starts talking, and talking.
She wants Jesus badly. Wants to follow Him, but is tormented by demons. (I’m shortening this dramatically) I tell her the story of Jesus casting out legion of demons, how that man found so much peace. Then she says she wants the same. So Kenny and me prayed like crazy. Then she started shaking under our hands, growling, gurggling. She went stiff and stretched out her arms. We hung on and kept praying.
Then she relaxed. She help up her arms and prayed to Jesus. Then she needed a huge drink of water. After a bit she calmly prayed to follow Jesus as her Lord and Savior.
Pray for her, and pray that God will help us repair her wheelchair or find her a new one. She can’t “crawl” to church. Let’s see what God does.
A-mazing!
The rest of the team is great. Sunburned, jetlagged but happy.
When are you going to come out here and see all this for yourself? Love you guys,
Mike
