Steps of Faith (Another Must Read)

We read it in the bible and hear stories from other people…but it actually happened…it actually happened… This happened the day after Michael (guy that was in a coma) woke up from his coma. As the team and I were praying for the sick and going around to each of the beds talking to people, one particular woman caught my eye towards the front of the room. We headed to her bedside and found her curled up with her knees to her chest…her right hand and arm were moving about randomly and she was shaking uncontrollably. Her mother was by her side and she told us that her...

Sausage Fingers

God healed my sausage fingers! So we recently have been starting our hospital visits where we meet people and pray for the sick. It can be very hard at times especially the childrens ward and God releases his compassion for them on my heart everytime. So the other day on our way to our visist my hands started to swell, burn and itch extremly bad out of no where. They felt like they were on fire and I couldn't stop itching. Then one of my teamates, Jeremy, frolicked over and said a short prayer for me and said , Andrea your healed! Im like yup they still burn and itch woopty woo thanks...

To Be A Child

To be a child: To be a child around the world is different than you may think of a childhood. Some people think of Childhood as the best times of their lives but for some or should I say many they are involved in these six areas:     And each one starts off with this To Be a Child: 1. is to Live in Aids, Watch parents die of Aids and be born with Aids. 2. is to live on the streets.. Just a bit of statistics is that 100 million children live on the streets and are abused, neglected, and/ or live in poverty. Poverty being less than 2 dollars a day. 3. is to work. "Child...

Slowly Disappearing

This week we were able to go on hospital visits and each day we would visit a different ward and pray and speak some life into those patients and families. Now, hospitals here in Africa (well at least in these smaller towns) are much different than those in America. Here, the family basically feeds the patients and helps them bathe and everything. There is no air conditioning or separate rooms- everyone is basically in the same room and the babies there are on beds just like the adults are. The hospital here is much nicer than the one at our last ministry site. Anyways...

God sized Dreams… Do I dare?

I walk towards a two year old orphan named Samson who is afraid of Mzungoos(white people) determined to make this kid like me before I leave. An hour later he is asleep in my arms. As I am holding one of God's most beautiful creations I look to my right and there lies both his parents graves. 6th day of crusades at a town called Mhamarani. 6 days of holding and loving on kids who are desperate for some attention and love. 6 days of opening up my arms where kid's can find rest, comfort and safety. 6 days of confirmation that God has given me the abilities to impact kids lives...
