I think one of the greatest joys in life is seeing someone that you have spent hours and hours hanging out with and pouring into really take ownership of their faith. I think that is one of my highlights this month. I had just started getting back in touch with my friends in Red Hill after being gone and I was so amazed by what God does without me even being there. It is so humbling to see how He can use us to plant a seed but us being there all the time is not a requirement to see the seed grow. Okay, I will stop keeping you all in suspense. My story, or rather the story from my friend in Red Hill is about God working through her faith. It was after the Bible study that Pam goes to on Sunday and a friend told her of a lady that was sick and couldn't work. Pam went up to visit her and talked and prayed for her. I thought that alone was amazing because they don't know each other that well and the other lady is Zimbabwean so I don't even know how they communicated. Anyway, Pam prayed with her before she left and the next day returned to see how she was doing. The lady was up doing her chores feeling completely healed. The faith of both of the women was boosted in such a huge way. For them to see how the Holy Spirit works through them and not only through us visitors was a huge thing for them to see. I have been discipling Pam for about a year now and she has been growing so much. But after this miracle from God she is even more on fire. I just pray that she will keep her simple faith as the feelings wear off as well.
So, I hope you are encouraged by my little story. And I hope that you will be able to see fruit coming from the relationships that you have as well. You never know how the tiniest seed that you plant will grow.
