Healings in more ways than one/ Update from last week

Saturday here is like our Sunday at home. We woke early and went to church. Church service located in a simple home filled with Love from the Lord. After walking up two flights of stairs, a church emerged with a pulpit at the front of the room. Side bar – the man whose house the church was in, I found out the next day said his mother is Canadian. Anyway, after the wedding on Friday some of the girls from PRC went over to help knocked down a wall to expand and all painted. No one had asked, they just wanted to help because that is what family does and the body of Christ is a family. I have just seen that over and over. This congregation has only been meeting for 3 months after a church split. They already have almost out grown the place they are meeting. Including us there were around 5 others that had not been to the church before.

At the service there was a visiting pastor from India who was preaching and also has a healing ministry. They had a youth choir with guitars and different percussion drums. It was so wonderful to hear them sing although we didn’t know the songs you could feel the presence of God as they worshiped and prayed. The visiting pastor preached from John 15 about how we are to abide in the Lord and how we can expect God to prune us so we can produce more fruit. Although he spoke in Nepalese I felt each scripture was speaking to my heart and refreshing me to be challenged. Another side bar - as I write this I can hear the girls singing praise and worship music down stairs in the house. Back to the church service, later Saturday afternoon the congregation invited friends to bring back other friends for a healing service at the church, and 10 people were healed including me

After church I went and asked the pastor to pray for me. I am not sure why but since we landed my eyes have been so swollen. Not just my eyes but face was swollen and I could barely open my eyes at all. It was bad. After the service I asked him to pray over my eyes and he prayed along with a few others and my eyes were healed. The swelling started to go down immediately. Praise God. The swelling in my eyes has not come back since then.
