Our January quarter schools just returned from outreach and they shared testimonies today about their 3 months in many, many different nations. Here are just a few of the many stories they shared! Enjoy!
In the Kimberley, the land in the north of Australia and hosts many Aboriginal communities, the Compassion DTS team worked with locals and saw a man set free from a bondage of fear. He had anxiety that kept him inside his house for 10 YEARS. He never once left during that decade. The team ministered to him, shared with him and prayed for him and he was set free. That evening he left his house again for the first time and attended the local church.
In South Africa, a pregnant woman in a township had been brutally beaten and her stomach stomped on. For weeks she felt no movement in her belly and she feared the worst- that her baby was dead. Team members from the Young People's DTS prayed for her, four people put their hands on her stomach. They felt the Holy Spirit bringing life to her again and within minutes the baby was kicking again.
In Nepal another YP DTS team was sharing the love of Jesus with local Hindu believers. They met two boys who shared that they were Hindu because their parents were. One of them showed the foreigners his bracelet with images of the Hindu gods. Then they shared about the love and power of Jesus and all of a sudden the boy's bracelet snapped. The two boys decided they want to follow this God and the team was able to give them a Bible in their own language.
That's just a little bit of how God is moving in the nations! What I find so encouraging is that these testimonies are from young people who are just figuring out their relationship with God themselves, we don't have to be pastors or evangelists or Christians for 20 years before God is able to move through us! He's awesome.
