Some of you may remember that I had sent in a request for prayer in early November 09 regarding a very sharp pain that I was having on the right side of my stomach/waist area that had come on pretty suddenly. It had many indications that it may have been something to do with the appendix. I knew that could be serious and it felt pretty serious but I had a peace about taking it to Jesus first. In the initial days of the pain I had already planned on attending the prayer, worship and intercession sessions with Lou Engle at GHOP. I figured that it was quite possibly the best place I could be. I got prayer from people over the next few days and the intensity left but the pain was never totally gone. Most times it was so minimal that I did not pay attention but there would be moments throughout the day when it would be a little stronger.

I had stopped asking others for prayer but I had not stopped bringing it before the Lord. I weighed if it would be foolishness to return to a 3^rd world nation without knowing what it was but really did not feel I was supposed to go have it checked out.

At one of the day sessions of the missions conference at Destiny there was a call for any with illness in their body to come forward for prayer. At the moment I was not thinking of the issue of the pain in the side because it wasn’t urgent or new and I’d just gotten kind-of used to living with it. I had been having some pain in my neck but it also was not major so I debated at first if I should go up but then I thought also about the side pain and went forward. There were different people praying for those who responded. I had my eyes closed and was focused on the Lord and a couple of people had prayed for or laid hands on me but at the end it sounded like the voice of Moses Veigh. He began to pray and he said “You are not going to have to return to the field with that”. Then he said, “God is going in right now and doing a complete overhaul inside there”. I do not remember feeling anything especially in that area but had tears at just the sweet presence of the Lord and acknowledgement from Him of my concerns of returning to Mozambique with whatever this was. Someone handed me a tissue and I opened my eyes to discover I was one of the last still standing there so I went back to my seat.

The next 2 weeks were non-stop with “to do’s” prior to leaving and I am now on my 10^th day here. I have not had even the slightest pain in that area …and really have not noticed the pain in my neck either. This is even after the 44 hours of flights and time in airports to get here.

I thank God and give testimony to His goodness and faithfulness and am thankful for all who prayed whether it be at the beginning or the end!
