Village account: Kelly Dunn

After spending the night in a woman’s home, we woke up to many, many roosters. We divided into four teams, and the team I was on went from home to home. We followed a woman into her home who was very excited to see us. She first shared with us that during our time with the villagers the night before, the pain in her knees went completely away after our team prayed for her. Praise Jesus! We asked her what else we could pray with her for. She shared that someone had died in her house before she moved in, and she felt like her home was somewhat  “haunted” and just didn’t feel right, and that her grandchildren would always cry while in her home.

Our team led her in a prayer in which she prayed over her home. We taught her that because she had Jesus inside of her, she had authority to cast out all evil spirits from her home. She prayed and asked the light of Jesus to cast out all darkness, especially the spirit of death. Afterward, she had a huge smile on her face.

One of our team members shared with the woman that when we walked into her home, our team member got a headache. After praying for the woman, our team member’s headache was gone, which affirmed to us that the Spirit of God had indeed brought freedom into her home! We believe the woman was empowered to take authority in her home and tasted the goodness of God by being healed and feeling peace in her home.

One of the children on our team also prayed for the woman’s grandson, and we finished our visit by encouraging her and telling her we thought God was calling her to be a peacemaker in the village.

This was one of the many stories from our time in the village. Praise God for his gospel of love that transcends all cultures and languages. Praise Him, for His kingdom is not a matter of talk but of power! Amen!
