Healing Seminar

Well, all I can say is that the Lord is blessing me... I know I have mentioned this in other postings before now, but I didn't realize the Lord desired to work out fine details in my heart. These last two weeks, I have been attending a healing seminar everyday after sewing class and my English class... (BTW: I started teaching the English class b/c the women still desired to have it. That has been great as well. I am growing in my confidence as a teacher and in my ability to think in Swahili and articulate in Swahili. The women seem to understand as I search for words to explain English directions. I will tell you more about that later as we have just started.)

But in this healing seminar, I have learned how deal with the things of the past that may be a complete hindrance to my success and freedom in God in my present as well as future. Though the testimonies given by the church leaders and members during seminar are private, they have been amazing... trust me when I say it... AMAZING!! There are deep wounds within the hearts of God's people and if they are not taken care of, we will continue to act out of those wounded areas and may actually cause hurt to the people we love the most. Ask God to show you your woundedness, then ask for forgiveness of anything that He shows you that You need to repent of and then ask Him to heal those wounds by pouring in His anointing oil and wine. God is good and He is faithful!! He has healed past wounds in my life, in the lives of the families that I have met here and He will do the same for you. Be open and honest with yourself and ask Him to help you through it...

The ministers, as well as me, who attended the two week seminar have been trained to minister to emotional woundedness that people within the church may have. The ministers here have declared that their church will not be a wounded one so I ask that you all pray for healing in the hearts of the members of Maskani Yake... They would love to know that you are keeping them lifted in prayer.
