Many of you know that Jessica has had a food allergy that prevents her from eating anything with gluten in it.  This includes all types of breads, cereals, crackers, and anything with flour in it.  It causes her to have severe lethargy, dizziness and headaches.  This has been a struggle for her for the past year and specifically during outreach because our food selection is sometimes unavoidable and it is hard for her to get the proper nutrition that she needs.  And just on a personal level she had been unable to eat those really enjoyable and tasty things. 

When we came to Kenya it really started to become a problem because so much of our diet came from bread.  One night Jessica really felt led to ask a staff member Rosemary to pray with her.  We were scheduled to have a team meeting when Jessica came in and asked for a huge handful of muesli.  She told us that she and Rosemary had had a great time of prayer and that she was believing in faith that she was healed!  We rejoiced with her and proclaimed healing in Jesus name.   She went to bed with no symptoms.

The next few days she slowly introduced gluten back into her diet with no negative effects!  It only took a day or two for her to completely silence the enemy’s lies that maybe the symptoms might reappear.  While visiting a church one afternoon Jessica and Cheryl were sitting together when Jessica felt that she should yell out “I AM HEALED!!!”  After a few moments of processing what that was going to look like she yelled it at the top of her lungs and began crying a giving praise to God!  Meanwhile one of the church members came over in bewilderment and Cheryl looked at him and proclaimed “SHE”S HEALED!” Afterwards Cheryl told her that she felt like Satan was whispering doubt into her ear, and when she yelled out  it was as if the power of her words drop kicked him across the fields and over the mountain. That was August 8^th and she hasn’t had one symptom since. 

WE WANT TO THANK GOD FOR HIS FAITHFULNESS, FOR TAKING THE STRIPES ACROSS HIS BACK THAT WE COULD BE HEALED.  HE COULD HAVE STOPPED THEM, BUT HE BORE OUR PAIN SO THAT WE WOULDN’T HAVE TO.  HE IS SUCH A GOOD GOD AND SO WORTHY TO BE PRAISED.  REJOICE WITH US AND GIVE HIME PRAISE TODAY FOR HIS AWESOME WONDERS!!!
