Blind man healed by Jesus’ compassion
While in Mona, a small village near Sawla, I met Daniel, a blind young man sitting outside a small hut. The FMI team was about to begin and we were sent out to invite the locals. I saw him sitting and Darlene and I took him by his hand and he willingly came. After the drama I went over to where Daniel was sitting and sat beside him. My heart broke when he reached out with both hands and clung to me. He was shaking as I held him. As Darlene & Pastor Steven (our translator) shared the gospel, I saw that Daniel was raising his hand. He seemed so weak so I helped hold his arm up. He quietly repeated the prayer for salvation with a small smile on his face. I just lost it and started to bawl. I felt God’s compassion for him and saw the beauty in it all. The healing call was given and Pastor Bill, Pastor Mary Pat and I prayed for him to be healed and he began to see. He was able to count fingers and saw his Mom for the first time. Praise Jesus!
