    SEWI’S STORY It has been a great blessing to me and many of my fellow workers who have been given the privilege of visiting several rural areas. In one of the villages in my area, there is a woman named Sewi, she is about 45 years old. She had severe problems in the womb and the doctors found it cancerous, stage 4 cancer. She and her family were heart broken. She has 2 adult daughters and a son.  We comforted her, prayed for her, and our Church started to pray for her in earnest. A few days later, when the doctors took the MRI scan, they were amazed to find there was not a single cancerous image. Just 2 months ago they said she would die in a few months, but the Lord brought about a mighty miracle in her life. Truly the Lord had mercy and gave her healing. It is a wonderful testimony in our Church and the faith of many has grown. We praise God for His power. Many thanks to Camp Divya for the blessing that you are to us.

    SEIZURES Recently in my village, there was a brother who suffered from seizures, the Lord gave me grace to pray for him. I was terribly burdened by his disease, but my companions and I prayed for him together for his deliverance. It took a while, but he was set free in the end. We continue to pray for good health for him and freedom in Christ’s resurrection power for his entire family. 

    MOTHER & DAUGHTER I was praying for many people in my villages and several people came forward for prayer. There was a Mother who also came, she was very sorrowful. She told us about her married daughter who was unable to conceive because of a tumour. She had been to several doctors and spent a lot of money on this condition, but it did not help. We kept praying for this Mother and her daughter, that the Lord would not only heal, but that they would find peace in our Lord. Several days later, the daughter mentioned that she had no pain. She went to the local hospital and took a scan which showed that all was normal. Both the Mother and the daughter gave glory to the Lord for His healing hand on her. The whole family came to know the love of the Lord because of her healing, and they are now a testimony for the entire village. The Lord has also given her a son! I praise God for His greatness! (Note: In some Asian countries, it is a great shame when a woman is barren. She is looked down on by her family and community. )

    SAVED FROM SUICIDE   Because of a crushing debt owed to loan sharks, a family decided to commit suicide. At such a time however, the Lord gave us a chance to meet them and counsel them through His Word. The family were consoled and decided not to carry out their plan. I continue to fast and pray for them, and they come regularly for fellowship. Please pray for this family and may their lives give glory to God.   (Note: In certain areas, farmers in particular are deeply affected by long standing debt and suicide in such cases unfortunately has occurred)
