We're continuing to spread the message of Jesus throughout the city of Stockholm. It's amazing how many people we come in contact with who have never heard about Jesus before. It's another strong reminder of how necessary our mission is for the few days that we are here. There is nothing more important than having someone accept Jesus Christ into his/her life!
In one of the locations where we were ministering, a team of ours put up a sign that said, "Free Healings." It was a way to start conversations with people and give us an opportunity to pray with them to receive a miracle. It's also a very bold move to release the power of God, which I absolutely love! There's no hiding or 2nd guessing when you make a statement like that. When someone inquires about "Free Healings," we then tell them that Jesus is the one who heals.
This sign attracted the attention of a teenager who was Muslim. 3 of our team members (Ben, Andy & Esther) began to tell him about Jesus. After they shared with him, he prayed to accept Jesus right there on the spot. As the team was praying with him, they realized that he couldn't move his arm. They discovered that his collarbone was broken and the doctors said it would be 3 to 4 months before it would heal properly. It appeared that he didn't have enough money to place in a cast or a sling, so his arm just hung limp by his side.
The 3 team members offered to pray for him, and although he was initially reluctant, he eventually agreed. So they gently placed their hands on him and asked God to do a miracle in his arm/collarbone. After they prayed, they encouraged the young man to attempt to move his arm to "confirm" his healing. He responded by saying, "I can't. I told you that it was broken." But after further encouragement by the 3, he agreed to try to move it. As he did, a look of shock came over his face along with a huge smile. He began to move his previously limp arm in ways that were impossible just moments before. God performed a miracle!
As he departed he said, "I was once a Muslim, but now I'm a Christian!"
WOW! Praise Jesus! That is awesome.

I hope this allowed, I have never used this website before so I wasn't really sure what this was going to do. So this is just a test post. I really like this forum, it has some excellent discussions that take place.
