Today I met my good friend Henry. He is from Darjeeling, but he is working among the Chepard tribe in Nepal. He is travelling by bus for three days and then he walks for four hours in the mountains to reach the village where he is presently staying.
Henry is totally sold out for his Lord which he loves so much. He is reaching this un-reached people group with the good news of the Kingdom of God. At the moment he has established communities of the Kingdom in six villages. He is teaching them basic skills and hygienic to help them to make a better living. He is also providing medicine, school materials, and clothes for them. No wonder he is very much loved by the people.
God is performing many miracles through him. Today he told us of a lady that had been bedridden for more than two years being seriously ill. The entire family suffered because of her illness. Henry felt led by the Holy Spirit to go to her and pray for her to be healed. To his surprise, after fervent prayers nothing happened. So he went back the following day to pray for her once more. Again nothing happened! Everyday for a full week he went to pray for her, but nothing happened. Then he got tired and a little bit upset with God! “God, what are you up to? Why are you doing nothing? What are you doing?” he complained to God, telling him that so many people needed salvation in that area. He could not understand why God did not perform a miracle. He was about to give up when God told him to go back to the lady and pray for her.
The next morning he returned to the family to pray for the lady once more. He prayed fervently for her all day, evening and night. Early morning something left her and she fell down from the bed. At that time he felt his prayer burden was taken away from him and he went home to sleep. When he returned to the family after two days he found the lady totally healed! Once more he shared the good news of the Kingdom with her and her family and they all came to Christ!
Hallelujah! God is good!
