HOTS in Lima

A momentous day as the churches went out into a park and did Healing on the Streets for the very first time in Peru. It was very similar to doing it in Plymouth despite the vastly different culture and people. We had the same issues regarding coaching people to follow the model but the team were brilliant and we were very busy.
Sharing afterwards at the Santa Anita Vineyard we heard of healings, of God touching people and (most importantly) a genuine excitement amongst the church which was accompanied by a strong desire to continue. One chap was brought back to the church to attend the evening service. Another couple when asked for prayer said that they weren`t sick. the pair replied we can see you are sick in your spirit. They sat down and got prayer. To cut a long story short they gave their lives to Christ and committed to patching up their marriage, leaving with joy and hpe. To cap it all on the way people saw a girl in a taxi looking like she was having an asthma attack. They stopped the taxi and asked if they could pray for her! This shows a universal desire to take the 5 step healing model we taught yesterday and use it outside of church or even HOTS.
I must mention the morning activities as well. we split up - Pete did the Santa Anita service and I was at another Vineyard a hair raising journey across Lima. God moved powerfully and it was great fun.
Now we are off to a light and water show. no I have no idea what that is either. we leave Lima with a real connection with the Vineyards here and an excitement about the future.
