Stephanie in Ghana- Screening Day
Hello Family and Friends!!
I am having a Blast serving our Lord in Ghana!!! I will try my Best to sum up all that has been going on.
This past week we had screening days here in Tema, Ghana at a local church. It was the most amazing experience!!! The days consisted of long lines- over 1000 people showed up. (please take a look at the mercy ships home page. they have a story on our screening day with pictures-www.mercyships.org)
Some of the people had traveled for days and the local church had allowed people to sleep in the church until the screening day.
Let me explain the screening day:
-people line up first come first serve
-they are first seen by nurses and a decision is made if they are allowed to continue in the line
-if they are allowed in the line, a history, physical exam by a physician, labs, before picture, and x-rays are completed
-if they are unable to continue in the line they are escorted out and have the option of being Prayed for
The screening has been the most difficult for me. It was so many people and I could NOT see the end of the line.
I was able to go out into the lines with the Senior nursing staff trying to find the ones with major deformities and/or sickness. It was to many people for us to treat and most of them are in need of basic of medical care, which we are unable to provide. On this outreach, we are doing mainly eye, facial repairs including plastics,and post childbirth injuries.I am in awe at the sickness and the need for physical and spirtual healing. My heart was heavy as I looked out over our sisters and brothers in this line. At times I didn't know what to Pray so I let the Power of the Holy Spirit Pray for me. He knows Best!
I Praise God for the anoiting to touch and lay hands on the sick!! By being amongst the people, I was able to anoint and Pray over many. I know by the Power of God that these individuals were healed in the name of Jesus!!I believe God for miracles and instant healing here in Africa!!! Throughout my quiet time God continues to remind me of spreading His word and showing me the miracles and healing in the New Testament!!!It is here and available to us today!!
I am just in Awe at the experience and the desperation in the eyes of those in the line. I Prayed over the line that I could not even fully see but I know that my God saw it. The ones turned away would cry and say why not?? They felt that we were their last hope and for all that I Prayed for I told them about a Man called Jesus who heals!! I shared the Gospel and Prayed in the Spirit for Healing over each of them!! I reminded each of them you are Healed today and you tell those around you who Jesus is and that He is your Healer- I am only His living vessel!!! I could see that they needed the Hope and although I will never see them again they are Healed in His name!!!
The screening are the just the beginning of this journey that God's has me on!! I have just been in Awe at most times and in amazement that God is using me!
He has given me Isaiah 61 and I will stand on it here in Africa. Please stand with me in Prayer and believe God for Power as in the Day of Pentacost in the Book of Acts. The power and gift is here and available for all!!
I Pray salvation and for the Baptism of the Holy Spirit for anyone unsaved or in need of understanding of the Baptism. Please contact me, a chrisitian friend or local church if you need someone to Pray with you!! Please do not let another day go by without having Jesus Christ as your Savior! He is Life!!!
I love each of You and I Just Praise God for this opportunity!!! I am meeting some amazing and different people from all over the world!! I will catch you up soon with all my new friends!!
For His Glory!!
