Hospital visit and trip to the orphanage

We had a change of plans as we thought we would go back to the homeless area and do evangelism. Philip, our host, decided to take us to the hospital where he worked. As we approached the door we saw a kid with a cast on his leg and asked if we could pray for him. He agreed and as we did, he said he could feel movement and a power surge through his bones. We are not sure what actually happened as he was afraid to stand on it due to doctor's orders. After entering the hospital we saw a man with a cast on his ankle in the waiting area. He also wanted prayer. He too said he could feel power run through his leg. His foot was quite swollen and we could see it recede as we prayed. Again it was hard to tell what happened because he did not want to walk on it still. We proceeded to go into the ward and came across another man with a full leg cast. After we prayed for him he was very animated as he said he could feel a surge of energy go through his bones! We prayed for his wife next and God showed us a vision of her being dedicated as a baby to a fetish shrine. She confirmed that this was true and we prayed she would have a revelation of the love of Jesus. They were both visibly affected and moved by the encounter!
We decided to continue on upstairs and there was a hall filled with people in wheel chairs and on crutches. All of these men had been in some type of moto or car accident. We continued to pray for another 4 men all of whom said they experienced the touch and power of God. I think the coolest thing of the day was when we prayed with a kid who had split his lip in half all the way up to his nose. It was stitched together, but we learned he had serious jaw damage from a moto accident. As we prayed for him he was blasted by the Holy Spirit. He said he could feel his presence all through his jaw. The slit in his lip looked visibly improved after this, as it appeared to come together. He said the pain was also gone. Later the family even called us to say his condition was greatly improved and they asked that we keep praying for him and his follow up with the doctor. What a wild time we had at the hospital!
After that we visited with the children at Tom's orphanage. Sarah and Cecile had prepared games for them and so we all had a blast playing with the kids. They were so full of joy and encouraged us so much.
