Friday morning I attended a the Kawangware Pastors Fellowship. About 80-100 attended. It was a time of prayer, worship, learning & fellowship. The focus of the fellowship this year is to teach the pastors how to start a business and rise above their circumstances. With jobs along side of their church responsibilities they will be an example of how to care for their families. They would also be able to help others in a time of need. After lunch with the pastors we returned to house to house visitations.
I was greeted in the road & hugged tightly by a woman we had prayed for many days ago. She had asked God if he was not going to heal her to please take her home that day. That day was the day we prayed for her. Her lungs were not working properly & she had all she could do to catch a breath. God did heal her that day and her face is shining.
We visited a very small hospital in Kawangware. A young child under the age of one with malaria had been admitted. He doesn't move a muscle as we pray to for God to heal his body. We walk through an area of ruins. As I hear about the burning of homes that took place during the political uprising. I hear how no one dared to leave their home for weeks for fear of being killed. I hear how the roads were closed, no one traveled. They went without food for days. I visit with a young woman who lost her husband during this time of conflict to a stray bullet.
I hear how Pastor Alfred's 6 month old son dies because they can not get him to the hospital in time. Pastor Chris tells me how his church was surrounded by armed men. They all feared for their lives. They pray for God's protection together and begin to run from the church. God's hand saw them to safety.
