We visited a hospital in Kigali yesterday. If you’ve never been outside the US, then you cannot fathom the conditions in this hospital. We would never let one of our loved ones inside a hospital like this. But there were plenty of patients in this hospital.
Before we visited the wards, Pastor Peter got to deliver a message at the hospital’s chapel service. He did a great job preaching about the man who was let through the roof by his friends to be healed by Jesus.
The wards were amazing. I visited the men’s ward with Mike Tunks, Jonathan Rand, and Jeff Tenley. We took small gifts to them, bananas, cookies, a lollipop, and things like that and we prayed with each man individually. We didn’t know what each man was suffering with, but it appeared that quite a few of them had AIDS. We prayed for them all and we could feel the Spirit of God moving. It was an awesome experience.
It was nice, too, to see a lot of family members visiting their relatives. The relatives and the patients all welcomed prayers on their behalf and many times the family members would join in agreement with our prayers.
I believe healings will take place because of the prayers we prayed and that lives will change because of the prayers we prayed.

Mike, that is awesome that you got to be there and pray for healing for these men. Even if is only spiritually that they find healing in their souls, that is the best gift you will ever help them with. I am so happy that you are getting to do this again!!
