Sunday was a remarkable day where we saw God’s power move in miraculous ways.
Picture below is the walk up to the church.
We went to the church where Adam’s housekeeper worships and part of Sharmaine’s sponsored silence money went to fund an extension.
The church building has been extended from the area on the wall that you can see the banner with Jesus's face.
We arrived at around 10:30 where the service had already been progress since 9am!
The service was in hindi and appeared to be very informal with the singing being accompanied by a guy on the bongo drums and a guitar player so when we arrived we just clapped along as the songs where being sung.

We then took communion and also witnessed a baptism.
We were first ushered up the front where Adam introduced us all and we received garlands of flowers from the Church and then we all said a short prayer each.
It then became obvious that God had other plans for the rest of the service as one man then had to be prayed for as he had become possessed by a devil.
The pastor of the church then asked the congregation if we would pray for healing for the members of the congregation who required it. First it was one or two people but then as the Holy Spirit came, more and more people came forward and in the end the whole team were either praying or “catching” people as we prayed. We were grateful for a couple of congregation (and also Adam!) who could translate for us into and from Hindi.
In the end we were praying for folks for nearly two hours and then we had a very welcome lunch.
We managed to leave around 2:30pm elated but exhausted at what God had done through us.
After a short rest period we then went for a swim and basically played about in the pool.

Hi All
Sunday sounded fantastic. Isn't it wonderful when God turns up! Glad you were all open to being used by Him and I'm sure you were all blessed.
Enjoy your last few days.

Do you think they'd like funding for another extension?
Seriously, sounds wonderful - bring it back with you. I hope it was well photographed. Ishy would look great in the flower garland and the red ball gown.
