Hi Everyone!

So many wonderful things are happening!

 Jason, a young man that was visiting the base, needed corrective eye glasses but they had broken seven months ago and he had suffered with pain and sensitivity to light since then.  He could not afford to replace the glasses. 
A team member and I began to pray for Jason. 
I am very happy to report that Jason no longer needs corrective glasses!!
He got up and turned on the bright overhead light and stared right into it. All pain left and he could see clearly. Jason was totally healed! 

The following is a report of more of the goodness of God that we are experiencing here in the Philippines!
Enjoy!


 
This is a photo of Jason. 


We want to share this Psalm with you and tell you about the marvelous things our God has done!!

Psalm 103:1-5

 Let all that I am praise the LORD;
    with my whole heart, I will praise His holy name.
Let all that I am praise the LORD;
    may I never forget the good things He does for me.
He forgives all my sins
    and heals all my diseases.
He redeems me from death
    and crowns me with love and tender mercies.
He fills my life with good things.
    My youth is renewed like the eagle's!


Wednesday night is our team fellowship night. We all having dinner together at the base and then we have a time of praise and worship with singing as one or more play guitar.
There can be teaching, sharing, games, and prayer There is lots of laughter and we have a great time together. 
Last night was AMAZING!!!
Many  had been having different kinds of physical problems and as it turned out most had back issues. We all had a wonderful time praying for one another and we thought you all would enjoy hearing about what great things our God did!
It was fabulous! Wonderful! Amazing! 



Team members and visitors prayed for one another as each one had need. The people in front with their arms out stretched had one arm visibly shorter than the other, but not for log. God healed everyone! We were all ecstatic!!
 
Joy, (hands out) Juvy, (white shirt) Kelly and Khristina we were all laughing and enjoying the healing of Joy's back as her arms grew out and the pain left her!






We were all watching in wonder as everyone  received...incredible!


Kelly is holding team member's Jessa's feet. It was humbling and thrilling to see God's love in growing out her right leg to normal length and wonderful to see Jessa's joy!


Aiza (hand over her mouth) just witnessed her leg grow out to normal length! So did Lache (in the black shirt) and Gemma at her feet. Khristina is standing behind us, which is great because she had difficulty standing and walking days earlier. Gemma, Jessa and Marijoy and I prayed with her for her back. It was so much fun because shortly after, Khristina was dancing and bending over touching her toes!


Aiza is so happy that her leg grew out and is hoping she will be taller :)


We were so thrilled and excited to see the wonderful things God did in healing the team of back problems! Amazing! God is so good. 


Seated in the chair is Lache. Lache has been suffering for many months with high blood sugar and pain in her feet. She has served the staff and missionaries at the Global Impact base in the Philippines for a long time as a cook. Lache had difficulty walking and standing. Her feet and legs were in constant pain. She could not bend her toes with out pain. Going bare foot or even wearing flip-flops without socks were not options for her. And recently Lache was having trouble taking deep breaths without pain in her sides, back and chest. We were all concerned for her. Last night team members decided that enough was enough. After seeing the great things God was doing with healing so many we prayed for Lache. We began with her emotions. Worry and fear were trying to be her constant companions. She realized that she was carrying burdens and responsibilities that Jesus did not want her to carry. She decided to give them to Him. This was a happy moment! Then Lache asked Him to forgive her for worrying. Of course He did :) Cause He says He will! (1 John 1:9) Another happy moment! Then Jesus gave Lache understanding that she could tell worry and fear to go in His name, and they did! Oh happy day!! Then we prayed for physical healing and it was awesome.. beyond awesome! 
Lache is so happy! No more pain or numbness and she can bend her toes, walk without pain, run and jump!! We Thank God for His healing,  for His beautiful tender love and mercies towards us!
