Veronica, the girl blind from birth who Chris prayed for last Sunday and saw light was at church in the morning. Last week when we saw her, we could see only the white of her eye. Today, we could see occasional flashes of her pupil so we believe God is continuing to heal her.
There were a few more people at the evening service than there were last week. We sang 4 songs (Majesty and Glory; Gather with the Saints; Good News, Chariot's a'Coming; and Jesus, Name Above All Names), Elisabeth, Jason, and Natalie shared their testimonies, and we did the heart and Spanish puppet skits. Chris preached from Mark 5:21-43 about how in the Kingdom, both important people and nobodies are equally important, and then we prayed for whoever came up, about 20 out of an audience of about 30. What is interesting is that when we first began to pray for healing, we were thrilled when anything happened. Now, we are expecting God to heal each time we pray, a confidence in God's goodness and presence and His desire to bring the Kingdom of God here. So in addition to the tears and healing, we also noted at least a couple of people falling flat on the ground as they were being prayed for, so overwhelmed by God's presence. Jason and Israel prayed for a man who was under a spirit of lust. After praying, the man was happy but Jason and Israel felt so tired. Elisabeth and Eugene prayed for a young lady with a swollen throat. The third time they prayed, she felt heat and the swelling went down. Crystal and several more of us prayed for an old lady with back pains and Crystal had her hand on her back. During prayer, Crystal felt the bones in her spine move. She also had some burden that required her to confess her sin which she did, and afterwards, she felt fine. After the service, we ate some seafood sandwiches some church member made for us and we returned to shower and sleep.
July 22 - Our plan today is to take a day off after a week and a half of quite intensive ministry and go spelunking at one of Taxco's vacation highlights, the Caves of Cacahuamilpa. Tim is somewhat better from his cold but he and several people, including Elaine, Gentle, Eugene, Meghan, and Samantha have some minor stomach problems. We all went to Pastor Jesus's home for a wonderful breakfast of bacon and eggs, fruit, juice, coffee and tea. Then about 10:20, we left for the caves driven in the same two rental vans. We got there just in time to join the 11 AM cave tour. It took over two hours to walk the 4 kM route, but we had a chance to stop in the middle and sing 3 songs in a stage area where they have symphony concerts. A handful of visitors sat down to listen to us when we sang. There are several other attractions in this Mexican national park, including a zip line. It costs only a hundred pesos (about $8) for three rides so Marshall braved it by going first in a natural sitting position. Then he and Jason went on it in a flying position, and Eric went upside down. We returned to Pastor Jesus home by 3 PM for a delicious flap beef stew meal. After a short period of rest, we did our devotion on Peter walking on water and debriefed the Saturday tent ministry and the Sunday services. We also prayed for those not feeling well on our team. Tim looked a lot better after having slept most of the afternoon.
