“AND HE SENT THEM TO PREACH THE KINGDOM OF GOD, AND TO HEAL THE SICK.” Luke 9:2

We have seen the same results on this mission trip to the Dominican Republic as it speaks about in Luke 9:1-2 + 6, “Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. … And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel and healing every where.”

In Saturday night’s meeting a woman and her husband gave their lives to Christ. She also asked for prayer for her backbone which was crooked and cause her constant pain. We prayed for her and commanded her back bone to straighten out in the name of Jesus. My wife, sister Candy, had her hand on the lady’s backbone as we prayed for her. She told me she could feel her backbone moving over. This woman confirmed this by telling us she was completely healed. Before prayer she could only bend over about six inches, but after prayer she bent over at the waist so much that she could have touch the floor with her fingers!

On Sunday night a man came to church in a wheelchair. He had absolutely no feeling in his legs and it was impossible for him to walk unless God gave him a miracle. That is exactly what happened as we prayed for him together. The Lord repaired his nerve damage and feeling came back into his legs. We all started praising God and shouting as he walked out of the wheelchair! He then walked back-and-forth across the altar twice. His legs were extremely weak for he had not used them for years. Glory be to God. It is very exciting when God has great compassion on people and heals them just as we read about in the Bible.

The next man that came up for prayer had been in a construction accident a few months back. His side was still in pain. I told the people that they needed to clear the center aisle because myself and this young man were going to have a race up the aisle.  He looked over me at me like I was a little bit crazy. We prayed for him and God healed him. We then sprinted up the aisle together. When our race was finished, he was so happy that he hugged me. In case you were wondering, I did win the race, according to all of the witnesses, but it was very close.

God has been using sister Candy in a special way on this mission trip. On Sunday night a sister came up for prayer. She had pain in her right shoulders. As Sister Candy laid her hands upon her shoulder and prayed for her, the pain left right away.

Next person to come up for prayer was a sister that was walking with a cane. I told her, “You can throw that cane away now because you are about to be healed!” She took the cane and threw it under her chair. Sister Candy laid hands on both of her knees and prayed for her. Jesus healed her completely. This woman had no use for her cane anymore!

We are all full of joy, rejoicing in what the Lord is doing here in the Dominican Republic. Thank you for all of your prayers!
