Shackles

Yesterday morning we started out with and incredible devotion by Ms. Debbie. She shared her testimony and told us what it meant to have God be the Lord of our lives. She also played a song for us. It was a celebration song to remind us that the shackles have been removed and we can praise God. It was called Shackles by Mary Mary. This is what we are teaching the women at the same time. That no matter what, their shackles have been removed and they can praise God.

It was also our last day doing the medical clinic with Layla. At the beginning of the week, we were fearful that we wouldn't have enough medicine for four clinics. But through the power of prayer, God multiplied the medication just as he did with the fish and bread.

After the medical clinic we went back to do the bible study with the women. While eight of us stayed with the women, Laura, Mackenzie, and I stayed with the kids. While they worked together with the older kids, I got the privilege to play with babies-four years old. These kids had a blast while they were playing. They didn't have a worry in the world, they were happy, and most importantly they were being kids! I also had three older girls in the room with me to help with the little ones. You could see the joy in their eyes just having me to talk to and having the little ones to play with. But I have to admit, that I act like a four year old again when I'm around these kids.

God is working wonders through this trip and within the group. Mrs. Angela was told yesterday by Layla that when we come down, they have confirmation that God is really working in lives. When Mrs. Angela shared this with the group, we were all in shock. We come down here to fill the ladies with Christ, but while we are filling them up, they are filling us up. Just shows the power of prayer and also the power of Christ.
