Salvation, Baptism and Healing in Harar!

Ethiopia, Monday October 13th 2008

Jesus has really touched Harar today! When "Miracle Night" started about 25 people were gathered to experience the power of God. Our Field Director Samuel Strandberg was preaching a straight message about not being proud, but to humble yourself before God and show that you need Him. 3 men wanted to be saved and gave their lives to Jesus. Earlier in the afternoon Samuel's language teacher had been saved in an Amharic class. The night continued with prayer for the sick, it really felt like a breakthrough when six people came up to be healed. An elderly man came with pain in his leg, and was healed instantly and started to move without any problem.

After the meeting was over one new believer was baptized in our bathtub and an enthusiastic crowd was gathered in the hallway of our house to get a glimpse of the baptism. Afterwards a group of happy missionaries sat down with a coke in their hand to wind down after the adventures this day brought.
