Portuguese Meeting

We were among the Portuguese speaking believers at the “Church on the Way” in Thetford, Norfolk in June 08. Pastor Alexandre Silva leads a Saturday evening group made up of Portuguese and Brazillian Christians, and after my trip to South America in 2007 it was wonderful to hear that style of worship again – I even recognised some of the songs!

After I shared a very simple Gospel message, interpreted by “John”, the miracles began. Most notable perhaps was the testimony of a partially hearing man who after prayer shared with the congregation with great joy that he could now hear very well! It was a very exciting moment and this particular healing is becoming quite common for me to witness, praise God!

Several others were set free from pain in their backs or legs – I would estimate around ten people in all gave testimony to being healed and, despite trying to hand the meeting back to the pastor, I continued to pray with the people for a long time. One of the last was Carolina, suffering from a gynecological disorder. As I prayed for her she shook under the anointing and was both alarmed and blessed by the experience as it was not a common thing for her to do! I look forward to meeting her again and seeing if she has been cured from the problem. An exciting evening of the goodness of Jesus!

Praise God!
