Sunday, October 19th
We started the day off by going to the church of Pastor Chucks, who is also one of the rep leaders in Johannesburg. He began by going into a powerful time of breaking segregation and praying for unity. Often times in South Africa, the church is segregated by race (a black pastor attracts black followers and white pastors attracts white followers) and also social economic segregation (a person once said they could not go to a specific church because they did not have the clothes to wear to that service). To signify unity, Pastor Chucks called people of various races to the front to represent the diversity living in South Africa to hold hands and pray for unity. Then we all took communion together.
Following that, Pastor Chucks called up another visiting Pastor to come speak about the miracles she experienced. She started off with a story about how once upon a time, her son was sick and a private doctor said he was near death and there was nothing he could do about it. She believed with all her heart that he was still alive, but the doctor insisted that her son was near dead and told her that she should take son to the hospital to watch him die. She took him, and the doctors there told her he was dead. Again, she believed, had faith with all her heart, that her son was not dead so she prayed for him and continued to pray for him until he eventually opened his eyes as was alive again! The doctors were amazed at what they saw they could not believe it! Another story she told was before she left her town to go to the service, she was not feeling well and could not get out of bed and could barely talk. She called her son and he prayed for her then commanded that she get out of bed and walk. She had faith with all her heart that she was healed and got out of bed and was healthy again!
After her testimony, Pastor Chucks continued his sermon on Vision where he talked about vision as being rooted in one’s heart and sight is merely seeing with ones eyes. He also mentioned that followers of Christ should have vision in the spiritual realm, capable of seeing God’s hand at work.
Next we had lunch with the local consultants to mingle and dig deeper with the logistics of the coming week. The late afternoon and evening was spent back at the B&B working on preparations and praying for the Economic Forum on Monday, tomorrow.
