Jesus Is Moving





So the other day I was out in the community and stopped by a homestead to visit a family that is awesome. The lady is one of our cooks and the kids come to the carepoint everyday. The husband is positive and just 6 months back could not walk and laid on a mat on the dirt 24/7. He was just skin and bone. Elevate our intern programe from healing place church came out to visit us in swaziland and one of there projects while they where here was to dig another long drop for this family. Thats a out house. While they where there we carried him out of the house circuled him and started to pray. after elevate left I would go to visit him and talk. One day as I was walking down the trail to his home he walked outside and meet me. I was shocked. He was a little wobbly but he was walking on his own. This guy couldn't do anything. So the other day I went to visit him and as I was walking down I here bang bang. I was thinking what in the world is that. When I get there he's swinging a sledge hammer cutting wood. I asked are u doing well and he said Jesus is Moving, Jesus is Moving. I thought yes He is. From a man who couldn't walk barley talk and now swinging a sledge hammer. I would say Jesus is Moving.

You need send this blog to Elrie, or at least send him a picture of the guy. He was there when we first prayed for the man, may have been Elrie's first time to really pray for someone. Very cool, very cool how God works!
