Another week in WOW


So we had another eventful and long week. We visited new slum areas, one at an old train station where the prostitutes and gangs hang out, and one in a garbage dump. Exciting huh? :0) We prepared a drama to perform at the train station but we're told that an open air preaching time was no longer going to be permitted so we preformed it at a combined church service nearby later that night. During our time at the train station slum, we handed out food for 60 people and were able to lead two people to the Lord! Praise God! One was a poor young girl who had been sold into prostitution. She was told she would be working as a maid but is now under the control of someone who owns her and she is now trapped without money or a safe place to go. Somehow but he grace of God, we were able to share the good news with her and she accepted the Lord. We are going back tomorrow to follow up and spend more time with her. I was also able to share a movie with a Musl.im lady that was made here in Indonesia about a musl.im girl finding Jesus! She enjoyed it and has been allowing us to pray in J-esus' name. We prayed for her and her back was healed! She even says that she knows it was J-esus that healed her! We are so excited. She said she was interested in a relationship but was afraid of what people would think. We prayed that God would reveal more of himself to her and we are praying that when we go back this week, she will accept the J man! Amen


Also, in the garbage slum, I met a little boy named Michael. He had been normal at birth but around age 1 had a terrible fever that has impaired him for life. He now looks like a severe cerebral pasley child. He is 4 years old now and cannot walk or speak but is absolutely precious. I held him and had a great time making him laugh and giving him lots of kisses which he loved! He loves to make the kissing sound, it's adorable. We prayed over their family and even though our group was only in the slum for an hour we saw another man come to know the Lord that day. Also, cool story, one of the girls on our team has been praying for her eye sight to get better and it actually has! She has had it checked twice in the last 3 weeks and it has gotten better each time! She heard God tell her that every time she cries for someone else out of a genuine love for them He will heal her eyes more and more. What a miracle.




This is a slum we really love. I played soccer with these boys and there are so many children!! I'm terrible at soccer but this boy Fredrick was always bringing me the ball. SO sweet.


This day we helped out with something called "The Call Indonesia." It's a project to transform Indonesia to see the kingdom of God come. This was a medical and dental care clinic they set up with the help of the military for about 1000 people.



These kids were excited for pictures....
They nearly knocked me over!!!
Painful to watch haha
Good work Boys..........
They liked learning english....and wanted to know if I would marry a Mus.lim....hahaha
Its been a good week. I just had a nice day off. I am now writing again at 1 am and need to be up Early so I must go but this week will surely bring great photos and stories considering my birthday is on Friday and our schedule puts us in the garbage dump that day! haha I also am going to see Chris Tomlin tomorrow night and many other crazy things are bound to happen! Stay Tuned!! Love you All!!
