Wednesday 13th May
Today is departure day!
YESTERDAY - after a breakfast of scrambled eggs Terry and Mo went into Lumley with Joelle. Sadly the Internet Café was not open so there was a lot of waiting around for things to happen again. Joelle did a supermarket shop for our packed lunches.
Terry and Mo spent the rest of the morning with the Iris Team at The Good Shepherd Clinic in Lumley. They go there every week to pray for the patients. Yet again God was doing some amazing things. We prayed for a man with his arm in a sling (a dislocated shoulder) as he was waiting to be seen. He was totally healed with full movement and went home a happy man! Others on hospital beds were also touched. A woman with very painful knee joints – completely healed. A very thin woman with low blood pressure who could hardly speak regained her strength and was up and out of bed straight after we had prayed. IT’S JUST AMAZING!
Andrew, Dave and Joelle were escorted to Kroo Bay by the Sierra Leone army Chaplain, Moses Kargbo, in the afternoon. Moses was passionate about his commitment to try to help the people of Kroo Bay. The place is on the coast of Freetown, and is a corrugated tin land of shacks quickly built with narrow passageways filled with silty mud. The land was previously used as a rice field. Pigs, chickens, dogs and goats all share the pathways and their excrement is mixed with the peoples and the huge volumes of rubbish washed down towards the sea. The previous night’s heavy rain had made the area was worse than ever. The “school” meets in a small building with several classes crammed into a tiny area, insufficient for the number of children there. The children don’t pay except for uniform, the teachers therefore are working for next to nothing and really just doing it for God.
In a couple of hours we will have our final meeting and farewells to the Pastors and after some beachside relaxation we will board the hovercraft for Lunghi airport. Our flight takes off at 11:50 and we should be back at Heathrow by 7:30am.
THANKS FOR ALL YOUR PRAYERS – WE NEEDED THEM!
