More Prayer for Mbwana

Yesterday, I taught a hand washing lesson in two villages, Ntenga and Mbwana. After the lesson in Mbwana, I divided the women into groups of 5. Then they were given two options: to create and perform a handwashing song they could teach their children,  or to perform a skit that would encourage good handwashing in their community. Most of the groups chose to perform a skit. Most of the skits were funny, so there was a lot of laughing and clapping. 

As usual, we closed the meeting with prayer. At the conclusion of that prayer, one of the women in the back of the room said, "You always pray blessing for all of us. I have been sick for two weeks. Would you pray for me?" I asked her if she wanted me to pray for her then or later. She said, "I want prayer now."

Then spontaneously she and four others stepped to the front of the room and knelt in front of me.  I knelt with them and began to pray for God to touch them and heal them. 

I prayed for Jesus to reveal himself to them and to show them His love. I was so moved with compassion for these precious women, and I know what I was feeling was God's compassion for them. 

It is amazing how God is opening hearts!  I am so grateful for that opportunity to share Jesus' love, and may He give many more.  Pray for a continuing revelation of His love for each one of the women of Mbwana.
