In the morning we got to spend time with the kids on the front porch. They know a lot of games that do not require toys or electronics. Lots of paddy-cake type games with fun little songs that go with them. Not that we could understand half of what they were saying sometimes. Somewhere in all of that, they were showing us how to “Salsa.” A team just prior to our visit taught them the dance. And you know what? They are pretty good!

Worship time in Kamphekete

We drove out to Kamphekete for a church service at that village. We traveled through the city and then out east past the airport. We had tarmac (pavement) for most of the trip, but we still traveled another 10 – 15 minutes (it actually seemed like an eternity) on a dirt road.



They start their service with singing praises - a time that we call worship.  Then the interpreter explained that they start with praise and then enter a time of worship.  Worship time is when each person speaks out their adoration to God, recognizing who He is. 



Jose and his interpreter

Pastor Jose preached for a short time and then invited people to come up to get healed. There were people who had healing in their necks, knees, hands/arms, a tumor in the chest, and severe headaches.





 

She was released from constant
pain in her hands and arms.

 

Her neck was healed and full range of
motion was restored.

 

His hearing has been restored.

We prayed for her ears; she can
now hear fully again.

The congregation prayed for Pastor Benson.

We request that you pray for two children in that church: a young girl who lost her hearing and speech after receiving anti-malarial medicine, and a five-year old boy named Gracious who has never been able to speak or walk his entire life.

 

Continue to pray for her hearing
that was lost due to malaria
medication.

Gracious.
