On Wednesday, as a team, we received almost all the children we support from Project Held in our guesthouse. In the morning we went shopping in groups and then prepared a delicious meal for our 35 guests. For the children we had a program outside with crafts and games. We have been able to hand out letters from Project Held from the sponsors, great to see how happy they are with it! After dinner we had a special time of worship and prayer where many healings took place. We have taught the youth to pray for the sick, they have really stepped out and seen the miracles happening right before their eyes.
There was also an elderly Muslim man who allowed us to pray for him, he had many complaints. Yesterday he called us to ask if he could come by one more time and give his life to Jesus, he was still in a little bit of pain that he wanted prayers for. God is good!
On Thursday we went to the town of Klina, the pastor from Pristina started a second church there, this church has only a few members. The pastor asked us to evangelize in Klina and to invite the people to the church service. We would start in the church (a small upstairs room) with worship and prayer, then we would go out into the street to evangelize. In the end things turned out differently and the upstairs room filled with youth, who then called their mother or others to come over. We sang wonderfully together and then had many conversations with the young people, many of whom gave their lives to Jesus on the spot. We are still impressed by it….
After this very powerful experience, we went to a poor family that comes to the church in Klina, this family came to faith a few weeks ago. Here we have been able to encourage people and pray for them. The son, who is in his early 20s, broke his back while working in construction, which means for him no chance of work, no woman and therefore a hopeless future. We prayed for complete recovery in his back. He indicated that the pain was much less. We will continue to pray for him until he is fully recovered!
After that we moved on to a widow with a daughter living at home, her husband/father died during the war in 1999 and he was never found. This is very difficult for the family. This family comes from terribly poor circumstances, the children were previously supported by Project Held and together with the help of de Brug they were able to pick up life again. She shared her testimony and we were allowed to pray for her and her daughter. They now live in a beautiful house and daughter is studying English. They cooked a delicious meal for us, it was a special time.
