Short term team takes on the Witches!
Last week we had a team from Next Level Church in Ft. Myers, Florida with us.
Team from Next Level Church
Besides ministering in the street, in two youth prisons, some churches and a children’s home, we spent two days in the mountains. The team wanted to minister to an unevangelized village. We found one, named oddly enough, “The Witches”! (They say it’s named for a plant by the same name, just for the record). We invited them to come for a program the next morning. About 70 people showed up! We were amazed there were so many people around. They cleaned up their community center for us–it was being used to dry straw our first day there–and the team presented their program.
We prayed for the sick, among them, an elderly lady named Maria who had a problem with her heart and a lot of pain. After prayer, she was giggling like a schoolgirl because she felt the Lord touch her and take away the pain. Another woman, named Griselda, had undergone surgery three months before on her shoulder, but still had a lot of pain and limited movement. After praying, she was moving her arm freely without pain! God is good!
This confirmed our message of salvation to them, and many responded in faith when we prayed. Afterward, they begged us to return soon. One man in his 30′s said that no one had stopped there to preach since he was just a little boy! So, as the Lord brings “The Witches” to mind, pray for them!

That’s totally awesome. I’d love to go to the mountains. I’ve heard people talk about it when were there. That’s going on my bucket list. Hopefully another team gets back to them when there here to continue what God has started. Ones seeded the plant and now others can water.
