My Back

Some of you heard that my back started hurting for some
strange reason Tuesday afternoon after I sat up from a chair. In fact, it was right after I posted a
comment here on this blog saying that all was going good….

It was hurter pretty bad that afternoon as we walked around
Santiago. That evening I asked the church group we were visiting to pray for
me. That prayer helped a lot … but it was still hurting a bit.

Thursday afternoon I was able to post an update blog asking
for prayer for my back (as well as sending out an email to some of ya’ll). Soon after I email everyone, it began to get
better as the week went on. Friday evening the pain was mostly gone, however, I
asked some folks to prayer for me at the Paraguay Vineyard (it was right after
teaching them how to pray for folks…).

Saturday morning it was doing great… in fact, I didn’t have
any trouble with it the whole flight back or after we returned home. Praise the
Lord! =D

What is interesting about the whole thing is that my back
‘gave out’ right about the time I had the most ministry plan. Ie. Tuesday
evening I spoken at a church in Santiago; Thursday morning I presented the
Gospel message to 120 kids (most of whom never heard about Jesus before);
Thursday evening was a marriage dinner and question/answer time; Friday morning
we taught the kids at the church in Paraguay; and Friday evening was the prayer
training class. Praise the Lord that He
kept me going the whole time! Even
though my back hurt, I was able to keep on going – and God showed up at ever
meeting! =)

PS. Last night I found out that there was a small group of
ladies who prayed for my back Tuesday morning…before it started hurting. God was already laying the prayer support
even before it got hurt. Prayer is so powerful and needed… wow.. =D
