While waiting for breakfast, we shared some more stories about the ministry time yesterday. A young 12 year old girl, the daughter of the woman who cooked lunch for us, shared about her love for Muslims, and how she is reading the Q'uran so she can point her M. classmates to Isa. She also makes it a point to share the good news to 5 M. friends each day in school. A lady with knee pain was healed instantly. Nicole had her hands on the knee and felt something moving under her hand when the lady cried out that she was well. Mari had her hands on a childless woman's stomach when Tim pr'yed for a baby and Mari felt a kick on her hands. We will have to wait nine months to see what happened. Blessy, who is staying at Sweety's home said last night, both heard a woman's voice call out several times in English, "Praise to the Lord". Sweety's mother, who was praying nearby said she did not hear any sound and neither did Sweety's younger brother. Only the two girls, who said it sounded like Mari and Hannah's voice. Sweety's mother told them not to be frightened, it is the Lord and quoted the story of Hannah and Samuel to them.
We left at 9 to go to a CSI (Church of South India) school located about 45 minutes away which also has a school and housing for deaf children. We sang a full,program for about 150 kids, with Jabez and Nicole giving their testimonies, did the puppet skit which the kids related to with great laughter, and Joanne preached a wonderful message. We were then given an audience with the Bishop of this diocese and sang the Aaronic blessing from Num. 6 to him and his staff. We then went to minister to about 40 deaf children, singing and signing three VBS songs and "Do Lord". Brendan gave his testimony translated into Tegulu then into sign language, and we had a time to pr'y for each child, including the headmistress. She said of all the visitors the school had, no one showered love on these children like we did. PTL, it's all about His glory. We then returned home, ate lunch, took a little rest and reassembled at 4:30 to continue our debriefing and do today's devos. One theme from our debriefing is the sense of family. We feel like we are a family here; many of the local youths believe because of their parents' influence, and we lamented the loss of the family in America. After we pr'yed for them, Tim and Kloe left at 6:30 to visit a hospital hoping for help from SFI and visit a friend's family to pr'y for their mentally handicapped son. We met for dinner at 8:30 after Tim and Kloe returned but Marshall skipped dinner as he is not feeling well and wants to get extra rest. Meiring is also feeling a little under the weather. After dinner, we all decided to call it a night and go sleep early.
