Amy and I were in a group that went to the church Muwustufa, I got some cool words for the church—first one was connected with the name of our group (that is, Amy and I, haha!) which meant "fruit" .. on the way there I felt prompted to ask what the name of the area meant, and it turned out to be a wild fruit that is hard to pick but good to eat, or something like that, anyway it fed right into the word I had to share, another picture I got for this church was of a key turning, God was about to unlock something, reveal something new here .. seemed to be a bit more traditional church with a choir that everyone sat down for and LOTS of announcements.
Very hard to get a response from the congregation as we got in other places, but I preached on following Jesus and the prophetic, all in 30 min (!), because we thought we had a schedule to keep ... as the last bus we were everyone else's means of getting home.
No time for personal ministry but I preached on it, and I did a corporate healing prayer. It is hard to tell what happened next, though, because the response of the people seemed so minimal at the time .. I asked who had pain and who received healing, though, and the same hands stayed raised the whole time, so I was confused, but I guess that logically means everyone was sovereignly healed! I personally believe healing did break out in that church, but the congregation just didn't know how to celebrate it .. at the time, however, I was just confused.
Then back at the conference, Pastor Steve spoke, and called out a word of near-sightedness. I found myself alone praying for a whole throng of people with near-sightedness, and all of them got healed right away! The line grew longer as more were healed and told their friends! I was still there but had to stop when the rest of the group was getting into the van. Pumped, we tried it on ourselves in the van on the way home, but without any results .. that we could see (bad pun, sorry ..)!!
