HE HEALS!

Hey Guys.. its Lee again finally :).

Thanks Mom for putting up that prayer request, you're the best!



As mom mentioned, Tapiwa (this is the correct spelling and its pronounced TAh-PEE-WAH), one of the Zimbabwean refugees has been very ill. He had been suffering from a toothache most of all last week, and we kept him medicated with ibuprofen, and even some of our pain pills from home. However, the pain escalated andby Thursday we realized we had a real issue on our hands. He didn't sleep any that night.. and they took him to a doctor on Friday, but as mom mentioned, no one would see him. They brought him home and he tried to rest. However, when Theresa went to check on him that night, she found him weak and very disoriented. If you know anything about bad teeth, you know that not having them treated is deadly. It was obvious that this was a serious issue. After much chaos, they got him to another hospital about 50 miles away. However, they would not see him because "it wasn't urgent" (translation: He is from Zimbabwe..). They then spent the night traveling to 4 other hospitals who denied him access. Those of us back at home were frantic and very worried. We were sure he wouldn't make it through the night.. His whole face was swollen and signs of infection were obvious. After 5 careless rejections (don't even get me started..), he finally came home, and we doped him up on some makeshift antibiotics and painkillers, and prayed that it wasn't too late.



He did sleep through most of the night, and Saturday was another day of getting rejected by clincs and hospitals. UGH!!! We really began to ask for divine healing, because at this point, we didn't think there was much more to do. He woke up Sunday with less pain and his roommates said he slept through most of the night.
Well.. as of today.. HE IS HEALED!!!!
His face is back to normal, no swelling and he is smiling, laughing, and eating again!
We are still going to attempt another doctor tomorrow to make sure he is ok.. but from what we can see, God completely restored him! PRAISE HIM!!

Isn't it amazing when you get to the end of your rope, when you run out of ideas, and you put your total dependence on the greatest Helper of all, that you see hope and change???

He is truly a Faithful God... the same One who moved in the days of Noah, Daniel, and Peter is alive and making the same miracles happen today! Now, THAT is amazing.

Praise God.
Thanks for your prayers.. they are being heard and being felt an ocean away!
