Yesterday, he returned to see me and to be admitted for surgery to remove the polyp. He said that something amazing had happened. He had been using a microphone to preach at his church on Sundays. The past Sunday, as he stepped up to preach, the power suddenly went out. He knew that nobody would be able to hear him preach. Yet, he started to speak and his voice projected perfectly. He preached the entire sermon without any issues!
So I re-examined him and both of his vocal cords were normal. He is completely healed!
Galatians 6:10 states: "As we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith." One of the great privileges of working cross-culturally is serving the church and my brothers and sisters in Christ. I'm incredibly grateful to know that one more brother will be preaching in the church on Sunday mornings. God does not heal every patient here, but we continue to trust Him as He blesses the sick and suffering at Mbingo.
This is his church, Calvary Baptist. They are praying to get a roof someday.
The girl pictured is a paraplegic, suffering a spinal cord injury 6 years ago falling from a tree. She just got to attend church for the first time in 6 years, as the church purchased a wheelchair for her! A continued thanks to our supporters, you are a huge blessing to us. And a special thanks to our speech therapist, Courtney Bell, for her work with Pastor Ndi.
