Sharing the father’s love
During our Christmas Carnival outreach, we encountered several individuals whom God led us to minister to. First, we met an elderly couple near the tent. Offering them cake sparked a conversation, and we learned the husband, David, had diabetes. As we prayed for him, his wife revealed he was blind in his right eye. We continued praying, and he began to see light. Encouraging him to renounce doubt and claim hope in Christ, we shared testimonies of healing, leaving them visibly touched. Next, we met Wills, an American volunteer using a walking stick due to past back surgery. Agnes and I prayed for his healing. Later, we spoke to Uncle Ricky, who was loitering while his grandsons attended youth service. He shared deep anguish over his strained relationship with his son. As we prayed for restoration, he broke down in tears, visibly touched by God. We invited him to church and shared contact details. Finally, we met Kalai, a Tamil service attendee, enjoying ice cream. She requested prayer for her daughter, Reni, a pre-believer. We prayed for her to experience God’s presence and come to faith. She was deeply moved, saying our prayers spoke directly to her heart’s desires.
Hello
Yantiar shared that while having lunch with her husband at a food court, she noticed a man who appeared to be in a dazed and down. She initiated a conversation with a simple hello. The man shared that he had recently begun kidney dialysis about six months ago and appreciated someone asking how he was doing. Yantiar shared her own experience of her healing from thyroid with him and discovered that he had attended church before. She shared with him that there is a Creator who desires our return to Him. Yantiar prayed blessings over the man and reminded him that when he receives healing, he should remember that it is Jesus who heals him. Yantiar learned from this encounter how crucial it is to listen to others and to uplift them through prayers and encouragement. She emphasized that, in moments of doubt about whether to share or not, one should simply take the initiative.
