B N Missions

SO what to write. Well, I just got back from my probably my last boat trip. AHHH. It was an Alligator hunting, spear fishing, grapefruit picking, snake dodging, fire ant biting extravaganza. No really it was a great time of worship, prayer, visiting, evangelizing, and preaching, testifying, and watching Jesus invade the earth and heal many many many many people we prayed for. There are a few that got away. But they are stuck in my heart and I will continue to pray for them. It also pushes you for more intimacy with the father.

Here is what my friend wrote about our trip and I thought dang it she did a far better job explaining things. So enjoy. :)

Wow has the time passed, we only have two more weeks left here in Brazil. We just got back from our last boat trip and God saved the best for last! All our time here has come down to this last boat trip, God used our abilities in Portuguese to minister to people on a new level that we haven’t been able to do this whole time. Around 60 people came to the Lord and another 50 people were healed from various things. Not only did we see headaches and backaches healed, we saw one lady get healed from cancer! Now let me stop all your thoughts right there with saying how do you know she got healed from cancer and let me tell you how it all happened.

One night during ministry time a lady came up having cancer near her left armpit. When she came up for prayer she was believing the Lord for a healing that night, and the Lord moved. She came up with a lump right were the cancer was, as we prayed the lump began to shrink! By the end of our time praying the lump was no longer there, and she said her skin where the lump used to be was completely soft. She had surgery scheduled but the Lord stepped in and did the surgery on His own time. Glory to God!

Another day as we stopped for a short while to talk to a local river pastor. A lady from church came to the boat saying, there is a man who wants prayer for healing and he is not saved. Marcos (Brazilian Friend) and Ben jumped up and left the boat right away. As we arrived at the house we sat down and just asked simply, “What seems to be the problem and do you want to be healed?” Then briefly explained that the Lord wanted to heal him and began to pray. The man had pain in his back and in his chest, after a short prayer the pain was completely gone. Then we talked to him for about 10 to 15 minutes and he received the Lord. How easy and awesome does the Lord make it to lead someone to Him.

We also spent a lot of time doing children’s ministry. As someone who has come to the Lord at the age of four, this ministry has always meant a lot to me.. I know by experience that children can feel the love and peace of God and make that commitment to the Lord. We did skits, songs, and shared the gospel message. About 50 kids came to know the Lord that week! How precious are our children to the Lord.
