Kenya Day 1. healing Prayer

We arrived at 5:00 this morning after a great flight on Korean Air. We breezed through immigration though we were told in Korea that we were taking a risk by bring Byeong with us since his passport was only valid for another three months. It wasn't an issu.

After explaining to the customs agent that we were bring books for pastors we got waved through and were met by Mbondo our Kenyan host, and our drivers Paul and Solomon. We drove to the Kenya Hope office for breakfast and to kill sometime while we waited for the forex bureau to open. Breakfast wasn't ready when we got there so we decided to spend the time in worship and prayer. After interceding for the trip we decided to pray for healing. Each member check to see if their heels were lined up. Two members, Theresa and Ji-Ae each had a leg that was slightly uneven. We prayed for both of them and the short leg grew out until the feet were even. We then prayed for our drivers Paul and Solomon who both had the same problem and their legs grew out. We prayed for Janet one of the staff at Kenya Hope and her leg grew out as well. The difference for her was the most dramatic, one leg was shorter by about .5 -.75 inches. She felt a definite difference after prayer as she walked around. After praying for those in the office we went to Mbondo's house in order to pray for his wife who was suffering from a headache. We first prayed for his sister who was suffering from back pain. The group prayed for her and after the first time she said the pain decreased slightly, we prayed again and the pain moved lower in her back, after the third prayer the pain was completely gone. After praying for Josephine we prayed for Mbondo's wife Purity and when we finished she said her headache was completely gone. Then we prayed for Gideon, Mbondo's two month old son. Finally the team performed their song and dance for the office staff. The ride out to Tulia was uneventful and most of us slept. When we arrived we were able to get our first look at the room that will house the library. It's a small beginning, but it is a beginning. Tomorrow we will set the library up, we are really looking forward to seeing the books in place. After dinner we spent time in worship and prayer and it was good. We prayed for healing for Mbondo and saw an answer. Four years ago he was in a mini bus accident and his arm went through a window. He damaged some nerves in his arms and has had numbness from half his forearm to his little finger since. Through prayer feeling in his finger, hand, and arm was restored. We were also able to pray for one of the caretakers of the house. She shared she had a toothache when we asked if she had any pain. After prayer the pain was completely gone. It was a full day and we can't wait to see what God has in store for us tomorrow.
