*Street Invaders Partner With KH2O – see picture and info below
*Legs Healed – Walker No Longer Needed – see picture and story below Twenty-two Kingdom Crusaders came out this week and went to St. Boniface Hospital, Central Park, and Portage Place. We were further joined by 10 members of the Street Invaders – see picture and info below.
I began the evening at Portage Place with Brett and Kelly. We had a few prayer encounters, on one a teen’s pain in her broken leg dropped from 6 to 0.
My highlight took place later at Central Park. Iris and Gaylene asked me to join them as they prayed for Chico. Team member John, and one of the Street Invaders also joined us. See picture below, and info on this amazing encounter. Ron & Donna’s Report:
We began in Central Park by handing out energy bars left over from last week. This led us to Abdul, a Muslim who allowed us to pray for him. After prayer he was quite happy and wished us well. We then approached a number of benches on which sat about 9 men. As we offered them each a bar we asked how we could pray. All of these men declined.As we went about doing this Holy Spirit instructed us to give $5 to the last 2 men because we had no more bars to give out. The last 2 men were believers who were overjoyed at receiving the cash. Next we prayed for Brenda who asked for prayer as she was disabled and had been off work for a long time. She didn’t have any pain so there was no way in telling the outcome but every time we saw her which was several over the course of the evening she was very friendly. We also prayed for Petros who was out of work and then we prayed for Charmaine who asked for prayer for her family. After prayer she began talking about her trauma and addiction but when we offered to pray again to set her free she became upset and left. The rest of our time was spent interacting with the Street Invaders. Linda’s Report:
Lorraine, Diana and I went to St Boniface Hospital tonight, because of a call to Zion for a pastoral visit. The word of knowledge I had, prior to that visit about a dark cloud over someone’s mind, made it clear that J was a priority for the Lord and confirmation of a pressing prayer need. With prayer, Diana received a song for J, “Sounded (Fight my Battles)” which we all joined in to sing for her, which was edification, worship and warfare. It was wonderful to pray all Joanne’s pressing needs through and to see her find relief, with tears, and also witness that as we were about to leave, hear her say that she feels she could eat, which was significant for her in that moment, even as we remain stand in faith for all that was prayed. For pastor Lorraine, meeting the aboriginal chief/elder from up north, who was visiting J and there while we prayed, was a pretty cool divine appointment.
A highlight for us too, was meeting two Arab Moslem women from Jordan on our way out, a daughter expecting her first child, R, and her mother, excited anticipating her first grandchild. They were open to prayer, so we prayed over the birth and that prayer led to praying over dreams. Just then, their friend arrived and shared a dream for which the Lord gave Pastor Lorraine the interpretation almost immediately after the words left her friend’s mouth. We also prayed for that security guard E, as we left, who let us pray and prophesy over him! |
