Pastor Thomas’ Report:
This evening I was teamed up with Dylan who came out for the first time and with Tyler and later joined by Denzel. We started on Main St. where we prayed for a few people who braved the cold windy evening. We met Josh who was hungry so bought him some Pizza and prayed a blessing on his life. We also prayed for Meaghan who was very open and sincere and was just entering the bar. She asked for prayer regarding her struggle with addictions. We then headed down to Portage Place where most of the other teams had gathered. We had a good conversation with a man named Brian who was a former War Veteran who had fought in Afghanistan that left him with PTSD and the difficult memories of losing friends in that war. He had been hit by a car and was in a brace and a scooter. While he was very friendly, he refused our prayers and had to leave. (Note from Al – I had approached the same man earlier, and asked if I could pray for him. He said he had that covered – he had the Creator. I said that is exactly who I am bringing to heal you. He retorted I got it covered. I asked if he was experiencing any healing. He said I’m working on it, and he wheeled-off.). Next, we met up with a Liberian woman who asked that we pray that she get custody of her baby daughter, Josephine. You could see that God touched her profoundly and could see that she was a believer. I gave her my card and asked her to contact me with the details of what happened in the upcoming court case.
We then ministered to a young aboriginal couple named Nathan and Jasmine who were open to chat about the things of God. Jasmine opened up about her need for prayer regarding all the stress in her life. Overall it was a quiet but engaging evening.
Lorraine’s Report:
Before H2O started, my day began with going to the hospital in Wpg for a test. Afterward, while in the cafeteria I met a young woman called Stephanie from Sandy Lake First Nation and we struck up a conversation over lunch together. Found out that her father was in the hospital with a serious illness and she had been in Wpg with him for the past 4 weeks. I asked if I could pray for healing for his body. Her mother had abandoned the family, ran away to Wpg and stayed for 2 years with little contact with her daughter. There was a lot of hhurtsthere so I asked her if I could pray for her and her family. Holy Spirit touched Stephanie and I was able to encourage her. Found out she was a believer in Jesus and had stopped going to church because she was angry and hurt about the situation with her Mom. I encouraged her to continue to plug into a church community for some support and gave her the H2O contact information. I’m looking forward to seeing what God does and hearing from Stephanie again.
Later, in the evening, I lead a team of Ed, Diana, Michelle, and Sid. Sid initially went with another team to Main Street for the first part of the evening and we met up with him in Portage Place later on. Our group went to Siloam Mission to check it out and see who we could connect with there. Ed
suggested that we drive over there. We had a great meeting and a brief tour of their new facility. They were welcoming of us and we asked many questions with the view of seeing if Kingdom H2O can go into the mission to help out and even minister to people there with some of our teams. The response was very positive. Had a chance to pray for a young leader in the building who loves Jesus named Lynelle who was pregnant with her child and blessed her.
Outside the mission, we met up with a number of guys who were waiting for a bed that night, and had a chance to minister to a man name Michael who lives on the streets, but knows his way around quite well. We prayed with him and began to prophesy over his life which greatly encouraged and blessed him. Later, we met others outside the building and gave away some mitts/gloves.
We drove to Portage Place where we met up with a few people and prayed for a woman names Carly outside the bus stop in front. She had a walking boot cast on her right ankle which had been broken. She had some discomfort and was tired from walking on it all day. We prayed for healing for her ankle and commanded all the pain to go. She said that she felt a bit better and
then promptly had to go catch a bus! LOL
We also prayed for a few others, and one young guy came up to me, greeted by name and said that the prayers that had been prayed over him about a few months ago were ‘working’. LOL He was hearing many voices in his head and said that now almost all of them are quiet! So PTL for that!
Overall, it was a rather quiet evening for our team, but we knew that God
was working in people.
