Off we went to the south today to this village "Camp of the Nyasa." The church building is only 2 years old, typically just walls but with a useful loose thatching of millet to protect against the sun, and an impressive us of solar power (power panel, battery, invertor) to drive the sound system!
It was a baptism service followed by a seminar - we were asked to give a summary of the main conference. We took the opportunity as at the other villages to present 5 Bibles for use in the parish - as usual these were received with cheers and clapping - they value the Word of God.
Ian was on baptism duty again, about 10 people mainly babies and children and one very old woman.
Then we were given two teaching sessions. Ian taught on the practice of healing prayer. We gave out Words of Knowledge, all of which were taken up and then formed four groups to pray with a member of our team, an interpretor, and a local catechist or pastor - so they could gain experience.
Our count afterwards shows we prayed for about 50 people, with about 45 indicated they were healed. Praise the Lord.
The second session was on Curses and Bondages. At the end we called up those who felt they had a problem in this area and prayed for them altogether.
After a meal at 6pm and many goodbyes we were back on two hour journey to Kondoa.
We were encouraged; they were healed and/or encouraged; they were all taught how to do it and their leaders given practice. Praise the Lord!
