Sarakata Parish

Continued working and training and the odd swims at the beach for some down time. Again the program changed around and some things were canceled and moved which was a pain. Later to day we were to be attending a service at Sarakata (where we were staying)from 5pm until 7pm with a time for our testimonies and an encouraging message from me. Well 5pm came and went and again a handful of people sitting around, 5.30pm came and went 6.00pm came and went, 6.30 pm a few more people came and we started singing some great island song for another hour. I think we started at about 7pm. (We were hungry for dinner) the service was great if it was split up over 3 days. It was long and excruciating with some great messages. We cut everything down that we did (actually sung one lovely worship song from Psalm 23) A couple of had the opportunity to pray for others and prayed for a 8 year old boy called Trevor. He had had a rock thrown at him and split his eye open. He had surgery (stitches)and continually wiped it with a disgustingly dirty handkerchief. He was in real pain and discomfort. Nothing appeared to happen and I said to his grand parents we would like to pray after the service for him. Well the service continued on and on. I had never felt so angry as the buy was in such need and the service continued with songs and notices etc etc etc until just before 10pm. team was a bit grumpy and hungry but they all felt real empathy and love for Trevor and prayed for him out of compassion. Well nothing happened that night and he wasn't healed (as far as we know) we really felt like a healing would happen. Both Kim and I had the word fear come to us while praying which we passed on to the grandparents.
Kim gave him a lovely mothers hug and reassured him and we finished just blessing him and continue to pray for him today. Hopefully he will receive some miraculous healing and we will hear about it.
FOOD:
We headed into town at 10.15pm and nothing was open for food. I was sure God would hook us up with something and sure enough we found a small dinner shed opposite the market where we all had some great basic food. God is a good God :-)
