During our trip to Zambia the team came away with a stronger sense of religion and a different understanding of the Living God - Jesus Christ. I have heard many people say that miracles don't happen anymore and God is on a quiet period from the New Testament. Before I prepared to go to Zambia I really couldn't recall any modern day miracles in my life. After Zambia I can recall several miracles and moving of the Holy Spirit. At a risk of hearing people explain away each event I am going to list some of the events that occured in my life and within the team as we began our mission to Zambia.
Miracles:
- Manual Labor without blisters
- Manual Labor while feeling refreshed each morning
(Nobody was flat on their back)
- The cuts and cracks on my hands healed each night (unusual for me)
- Creation of shadow puppets for the Children that were impossible
to re-create
- An incredible team without division
- An airline holding a plane for an hour for a bunch of Americans
- Success in praying for healing in Africa and at home
- Survival and safe return home during a harrowing experience inside
the Rapids of the Zambezi River while white water rafting.
- God showing us his Majesty in 10 days in the Village we saw total
darkness, a bright full moon, Winter, the start of Summer, the
cloudless dry season and the beginning of the wet season as the
clouds began to fill the sky.
Holy Spirit:
- Understanding the Tonga people and communicating without an
interpreter
- The Team encircling the Mukamba Church in prayer in unison
without direction
- Feeling the Holy Spirit protecting, healing and working
- An incredible team that was giving and had the Holy Spirit
within themselves
- Praying, listening and hearing the Holy Spirit directing our
actions in the Market
Please keep in mind that the human body is also explainable by science, but it was God's work that created the human form. Think hard, when was the last time you embraced God and prayed for something out of the ordinary (A computer, car, traffic, your work schedule)? If you believe and have faith, God will answer your prayers and show you His will. He has dominion over everything.
