Julie and Colin, our co-workers here in Maun are really special! Last year at Christmas they distributed care hampers they had put together mainly out of items that they found stored in the Flying Mission storage container. This year, we all prayed about doing something similar and felt a leading to go into the hospital. On Christmas Day, Keith, Julie, Colin, and Cheryl, gathered up a load of presents along with our base secretary who could translate for us, and went to the childrens ward at the Maun Hospital.
The lovely nurses took us around to each patient, and Julie and I prayed for each Mother and child. The Glorious thing about all of it is that God seemed to be healing a number of the babies right before our eyes. We watched listless babies perk up, and sit up, we watched a crying, distraught baby settle and go to sleep, and we felt God pour out Love and Healing to everyone we touched. To see God change the atmosphere and to see the smiles on their faces made this by far the best Christmas ever.
Cheryl was appointed Hospiital Ministry coordinator at church and will be taking people with her into the hospital to pray for the sick as often as she can. There is such an openness to receive from God there.
