A day of salvation and miracles.

Today was the day for our Sunday services. We actually had three and so I got to speak on each occasion.
The morning service was marked by a miraculous conversion. There was a married couple who were going through serious problems. The husband had an evil temperament and was often drunk and violent towards his wife. He was doing all manner of evil things. One day he came home after drinking he began to shout at his wife as she was cooking his food and then started beating her. It was more than she could take. She threw a pan of hot water over him and scolded him in the process. 
His family were furious and had her driven from the village. Somehow God worked to turn this situation around. Her husband offered to move with her to a new area and make a fresh start and this Sunday turned up at the church, wanting to give his life to Christ. 
In our evening service we offered to pray for the sick. Three people testified of God healing them. One man came forward to testify. I had not even prayed for him personally or laid a hand on him but as people were being prayed for he asked God to heal him of the pain in his body and was set free. 
That night I had spoken about the peace of God, how it included healing and used psalm 133 to show how God's peace operates when we are together in unity. He simply believed that God was there to heal and he was healed. 
Today (Monday) I am travelling to Mombasa and a place called freretown where I will be for the rest of the mission. 
Keep praying. God is doing good things... Steve Johnson
