Buie

This team consisted consisted of Buie, team leader, Clayton, Thomas, Nancy, Martha, Daniel, Martin, Moses and Egla our translator. Their God moment appeared on their first day. They shared this was all new for them, there was newness of excitement and nervousness of being in a country where they could not speak the language. But how God had provided three awesome young ladies who did their translating. They had visited a couple of homes and as I shared earlier were welcomed with open arms and smiles. But as they came upon their third home the young man on the porch smiled and welcomed us but there was something wrong something did not feel exactly right. The people there on the porch shared with the team, the lady's son is very sick and was acting out and could not calm down. So the team gathers around the child and lays hands on him. Martin, a member of Gethsemane Baptist Church starting praying. Praying hard and fervently and praying without ceasing. The kind of praying which did not need to be translated and understood but praying which Martin was doing was to our God and maker of our universe to heal the body of this young boy and to give him peace which only God could give him. As Martin was saying AMEN, the young boy relaxed and was calmed. "We say God answer our prayer right before our eyes", Buie said. We later learn the young boy has autism. His family shared how he has those attacks which causes him suffering as well as his family. The team experienced a situation they did not understand, but God showed them through an opportunity his power and compassion. They knew then it was going to be an amazing week and they continued to see God answer prayers throughout the rest of the week.
