Praise Reports

April 1993

When our baby was born last summer critically ill with hydrocephalus and an unknown virus, our friend called and asked you to pray for her. We thank you for your prayers. She had two brain surgeries, including insertion of a shunt, that did not correct the problem of water accumulating on her brain. The doctor told us, after a craniotomy that the brain biopsy showed that her brain was destroyed.

We were also informed that her optic nerve had atrophied and that she would never see. At the hospital admissions office where Christina was being admitted for a third operation, she was healed as she lay in her father's arms. The Lord acted sovereignly and in a matter of minutes her head shrunk down and has stayed down for these past 5½ months, her skull fused normally, she began to see and now is growing and responding as a normal baby.

Her father writes, "Our God is truly awesome. Christina's life has affected many. So many wonderful things have happened in our family · all have been born again and filled with the Holy Spirit. It was not our ability to believe that made this sickness go, but rather the faith that God imparted to us through His mercy. We thank all of you for your concern and prayers."

I requested prayer for my son who had detached retinas in both eyes. The doctor's prognosis was that he might receive 20/85 vision back in his eyes if he were lucky. This would be done with corrective lens. I praise God today, for his vision (with corrective lens) is 20/25. I thank you for praying.

My husband is feeling better, his blood count is up and he is also gaining weight, and strength.

Thanks for praying for our 18 month old child. The middle of December a renowned neurologist stated that my child would likely not walk for another 18 months. She walked for the first time on Christmas Day. (10 steps) Now she is full of joy herself.

I had requested prayer to break generational sin and curses. Prayers have been answered, there is renewal in my family, and much healing is taking place.

What a praise report. I requested prayer last July for my daughter-in-law. The intercessors prayed for her last August and during the month of October she accepted the Lord and now the fruits of the Spirit are showing! The month you all were praying, she successfully got weaned off prescription drugs for depression. Thank you. thank you all for praying. God Bless You!

Testimonies From The Conference:

1. Healing of rejection I had felt in my family of origin. Also, I had a vision of Jesus going to my mother and father and healing them of the rejection by their parents. I felt Jesus came into the whole family and touched all of us.
   
   
2. The Lord healed/delivered me of a spirit of jealousy. Jesus took it away and filled me with a gift of laughter. It was a tremendous experience.
3. Less pain in my body. A lightness of spirit and body. Hopefulness, worthiness, lovableness.
   
   
4. I experienced much needed direction in healing of marriage and how to more effectively love and not minister to my husband, but to let the Lord love me' and let Him minister to my husband.
   
   
5. Healing of: a spirit of rejection as a newborn, a spirit of perfectionism, and destructive memories.
   
   
6. Two persons were set free from "something" when Francis prayed binding and deliverance prayers. 'Both felt freedom, peace, and lighter internally.
