Our leaflets were literally being snatched out of our hands on more than one occassion by people as they passed by and many conversaions were had with folk who were attracted to the Square.  7 people sat in the chairs with many of them saying how lonely they felt, but all received an embrace from the Heavenly Father of all mankind.

Others did not sit in the chairs but were happy to receive prayer as they sat on the nearby benches.  Chris the Donut man blessed us again with a large bag of freshly made donuts..free of charge!

It is becoming more and more apparent that we are becoming a regular encounter for some local people, I can think of one young man in particular with a yellw coat and a bicycle who has taken a flyer every week.

Crank it up Lord is becoming our call as we prepare in prayer before venturing out every week…I have a growing sense that one day the cranking up will startle us all..it will be one of those “Suddenly” incidents we read about in the Word.

Please remember that the training programme is scheduled for the 8th – 9th April

We spent some time today ministering with the team members too as it became clear that they also have need for prayer for various issues.  What was so encouraging today was not only the ministry to those we did not know, but the level of love and concern shared freely within the team. God is moulding us into a caring and sharing unit. Praise the Lord.

Praise the Lord after much prayer and preparation  a team 10 trained team members assembled in St James Square on Saturday morning and launched the Healing on the Streets Isle of Wight ministry….Well done everybody who took part and those who prayed for God’s blessing to be released.

The weather forecast had been for heavy rain but we only had a light shower barely enough to warrant the use of the brollies.  The banner was erected and the chairs set out, the P.A. was playing nice music and 10 people bowed the knee in prayer in the centre of Newport.  God’s presence was tangible and then we started to offer the passing very curious public the flyers with invitation for prayer.

I lost count of how many flyers we gave out but it was a good number as many people were prepared to take one.  Eight people were prayed for with disabilities ranging from Bi-polar, leg and knee problems, heart conditions, repetitive strange injury even a ladies dog got some prayer !!

Everything worked well and we turned many heads and have started many tongues wagging, a spiritualist and a medium were also attracted to our pitch and took flyers.  The team worked really well together and I was delighted to see that the points of the training were on the whole being observed.  Well done everyone.  We were even given some free fresh doughnuts from a local store..isn’t God good ?

I have started a waiting list for the next training session, hopefully this will be in about a month’s time.  Please pray that we can secure some premises in Newport to store the equipment and use as a base.
