Friday, Sept. 7 – I sure got my dates all turned around at the beginning of the week but I’m pretty confident that today really is Thursday, September 7^th.

We completed our second full day of training sessions and prayer sessions.  The schedule has been rigorous as expected but the team has been working together and functioning like a well-oiled machine. Our teammates from London are terrific (Annie Kirke, Karen, Sue and Katie) and we have melded together as one team with relative ease.  Additionally, we have some time to tell a few stories, occasional teasing has occurred and we have done a fair share of laughing together too.

Saturday, Sept. 8

This was our third day of the healing prayer conference.  Annie and I have done most of the teaching but others on the team are making beautiful contributions.  This morning Meehae led the conference attendees in the morning devotion; she was powerful indeed.   

The prayer instruction has been very well received and much appreciated and I think that we are making a lasting deposit in the lives of the Congolese leaders we are serving.  We have started to get feedback of some significant physical healings as a result of some prayer sessions.  Tomorrow we’ll end our final session.

Ed hasn’t really given you the full story.  Friday while good was heavy.  You could feel the pain and suffering of these people.    It weighed heavy on all of us as we interceding for Ed and Annie; however, God is good and broke off strongholds during the Forgiveness portion of the teaching. 

Today was even more anointed as the Holy Spirit moved from the beginning with Meehae’s devotional and right into the teaching of Revelations and Intercessory Prayer.  The Lord anointed Ed’s words and Annie’s discernment to speak truth and call the different pastors and leaders of the church to unity and harmony.  Eyes and ears were opened to hear the truth that only through unity could they break the generations of violence in their country.  Pastor Theo of ALARM spoke after Ed and while we could not understand a word of Swahili, we knew that an impact was made.  One of our team members stated, that the baton has been passed to Pastor Theo to pick up the cause.  Something broke in the spiritual realm.
