Thank you all for your prayers and support for my KA mission project. We executed yesterday and by God’s grace it was a victorious day. The life of God overflowed in abundance and there was so much liberation and joy. I believe the prophecies God gave us that every single person would be impacted and changed were fulfilled. God literally opened the heavens and poured down His blessings on us.
The day didn’t run smoothly as I planned, but it did run according to God’s agenda. For instance, it rained after the first game, which forced us into the marquee and gave us the opportunity to witness to them early on in the day before we got carried away with all the games. God definitely answered our prayers to soften their hearts as they were so ready to receive the gospel.
We had 93 youth register, which exceeded our hope of getting 75. Of those, 43 received Christ and 31 were infilled with the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues (slightly more than our mandate or 11!) I prayed for 2 youth who God healed – one had malaria and the other chest pains and a headache. Many people were counselled and healed emotionally too. The talk on purpose was powerful and I believe their minds were renewed with the truth that God has created them for a purpose and they left eager to live to fulfil that purpose.
In fact, the whole day was characterised by such an abundance of life, so I know we fulfilled our vision to ‘liberate the captives to give them life to the full’. Not only did they receive salvation/spiritual life, but there was plenty of delicious food and sodas (provided for free by Coca Cola); every participant got a free T-shirt and notebook printed with ‘my journey to purpose’ and our logo and a free bible. We also taught them how to make soap and print T-shirts so that they can generate income for themselves. One girl stood up at the end and said, now we have no excuse to be in poverty – what a wonderful testimony.
I almost can’t believe it’s all over (apart from writing and handing in the report). It’s been one of the most challenging and stretching experiences of my life leading the group, but by God’s grace I made it and the group finished still united with love and peace.
