Bwana Asifewe!!! ( Praise the LORD!!! )

Dear Family and dear friends :)

I want to share a couple testimonies with you about what God has been doing and how He has been using us in the hospital where we work.

First Testimony:

In the packed ward, a tiny 15 year old girl was waiting to be seen. When they eventually examined her they found the cord and a little foot were out. This is life threatening for the baby, the cord is its source of oxygen. She was rushed to the labor ward, three of us went with her listening to the Spirit, praying and cutting off death and praying life over her and her baby. To save its life, the baby had to be delivered rapidly, but with such force that it led to a dislocated knee and a twisted neck. He wasn’t breathing and his heart was barely beating so I did chest compressions, whist the nurse gave him oxygen, his little chest began rising, gasping for air. The nurse handed me the blue, floppy, broken baby to continue resuscitating. I prayed speaking the name of JESUS over him, asking for healing so he wouldn’t have any affect from lack of oxygen, and for the side of his body that was floppy whilst the other side had reflexes. I wept to GOD and the baby let out a cry moving both hands. As his mum heard this we smiled at each other. My prayers continued, mingled with tears, speaking words of hope for the future over this precious little one. The nurse said they would have to be transferred to a special care facility. So I went to say goodbye to his, she smiled at me again and thanked me. The prayers in intercession built expectancy for complete healing. The next day when we arrived at the hospital, they were both there. I knew in my heart he was ok, we checked his body, his knee and neck were totally normal, there was no sign of any trauma. I know GOD did a miracle and heard the prayers, this little one and his mum both have a hope for the future. Her name is Hadija please pray for her and her precious one, that they will come to know the LORD JESUS.
Thank You JESUS.

Second Testimony:

Usually babies are born,
but on Thursday in the hospital where I work we saw a grown man born again!!!

Everyday in the labour room we work side by side with Dr. Godfrey who sees what we see.
He sees when we pray together in the morning.
He sees when we pray for the mamas in Jesus' name; asking God to give them strength to deliver their babies.
He sees when we stand as gatekeepers over the lives of little ones at the resusitation tables and he hears us call on the name of Jesus to give them breath and life.
He sees us living out our faith in God every day. And he sees the difference God's presence is making in the labour room.

And on Thursday, November 19, Dr. Godfrey came to us and said he wanted to be born again! He said he was ready to follow Jesus' footsteps and listen to God's voice.

Sitting outside at the hospital canteen, Dr. Godfrey asked us to pray with him and we did.
We prayed with unsuppressable smiles lighting up our faces as this man accepted Christ into his heart. After praying, we talked to him about discipleship and hearing God's voice.
We encouraged him to read the book of John over the weekend and he said he will talk to us about it when we see him again on Monday at the hospital.

Now that this doctor is born again - this hospital will never be the same. The labour room where he works will not be the same.

He looked so happy as he wrote down on a little note "This is the day that I decided to follow Jesus. Help me God." Praise the Lord for salvation!!!
