A mission isn't a mission until you go in a bush. I mean go in a bush.

I'm having fun on my mission to Kenya. As of now, hundreds of Kenyans have come to know the Lord Jesus. Many have been healed of alements and delivered of spiritual opressions.

I was in awe when a crippled boy came to me, asking to be healed. He struggled to say his name. "Minor," he said. His neck had no integrity, it couldn't stand on it's own. His shoulders slanted at a 90 degree angle, his back was curved like a "s" and one of his legs apeared to be longer than the other.

His mother leaned in an said that he has problems with his nervous system.

I began to pray, then a few other ladies joined in agreement with me. I've never prayed more fervently in my life. I opened my eyes to see exactly what was going on. We prayed long, and initially it seemed nothing was happening. For a moment, in the middle of prayer, there was an interesting dialogue that went through my mind. Eric, this is the kind of thing that only happens on TV. You are not in tune with God enough for him to do a miricle through you. I looked at him in the eyes and I said "God, you love this boy. Grant him a gift, bless his life, heal him, not through me but through the spirit that you put in me." It was as if I responded to the voice that I couldn't do it, But God can. I believe in God and I also believe his tangible power.


As we continued to pray, his shoulders began to straghten and his back moved out of it's contorted shape. We touched his legs and they began to stand together. We prayed long for his head to rise. We lifted his head and prayed for it to stay. Then we called out "Son, lift your head in the name of Jesus Christ your savior." And very slowly his head rose. He began to walk straight. He began to praise the Lord with clapping.

But, he still had trouble speaking. It was obvious he was not compleatly cured of the problems in his nervous system. When we left, he still was not compleatly healed of it. But he was filled with joy all over his body. He smiled from ear to ear.

It makes me wonder why God would grant so much healing and leave this one thing unchanged. God is a mystery to me. I think God leaves some things they way they are to keep us humble-it did it for me. Or maybe because he has a biger vision of what is going on in the world. It's his world, I trust that he knows.

I have seen the power of God. I'm glad I opened my eyes to see and gave him a chance when something was calling me to doubt.
