Amazing time on Friday night

Hi all

I just wanted to put a quick post up about last Friday night outreach in the town centre.  We met at 9:30pm (the usual time) at the Y-Pod and went out on the streets, under the station canopy from 10:00pm to 12:00 midnight.

We had a team of six which is a great number, and we spoke to several people over the evening.  We prayed for one person generally, who had stopped for prayer before and who seemed to be impacted by that.  I had the privelage of praying for somebody who was supernaturally healed.  A young man approached the table and started talking and asking questions.  Quickly he told me that some of his family were Greek Orthodox Christians and that he had thought about matters of faith but remained an unbeliever.

I shared my testimony about being healed from a disease (Trigeminal Neuralgia)  and he said that didn't believe and he explained that he would want to see scientific proof that God exists, or that people are healed through prayer.  I asked him if he would believe if he saw a healing himself, and he said he probably would.  I then asked him "Is there anything you would like me to pray for you, for healing" at which point he shared that he had a neurological condition himself that caused his left hand to move in mirror image to his right, which was involuntary, and that he had Attention Deficit Disorder.

I prayed for the young man, both for his ADD and his hand problem and after that he said he thought that there was a definite improvement in his hand.  So, I asked him if I could pray again, and he agreed, after which he said his hand seemed even better.  I offered to pray for him a third time and after this his hand was almost completely better.

I asked him if it had ever been as good has it then was on its own and he said that it had always been the same and nothing previously had made it any better.  I asked him if he believed "now" and he said that he was more likely to!

This is just an example but we are speaking to people, praying for people and giving out christian literature most Friday evenings.  I really feel like God is starting to do something amazing through what we are doing.

Praise the Lord!
