Owerri 7


Today we split into two groups.  Our medical team went to Ihiagwa Baptist’s facility to set up the clinic.  They were there until very late.  They treated 192 people officially.  They also did several surgical procedures today.  Jonathan Barnes (James and Bethany’s older brother) handled the prayer and counseling today.  He prayed for 43 people.  The team was very satisfied and very tired.

Gary, Megan and I went with Dr. Amadi to the Baptist High School.  We were greeted like visiting royalty.  The entire school assembled for a program.  Dr. Amadi is the founder of the school.  Many of them remembered Gary and his trumpet.  He put on a wonderful and very entertaining performance.  He is definitely in his element with children.  We laughed and had a great time.

Megan was called on to give an impromptu address to the school.  She encouraged them in their studies and in the proper treatment of their teachers.  I gave my testimony to the group and called for them to receive Christ.  Many of the children received Jesus as Lord and Savior. 
We met with Principle Samson and the faculty of the school in order give gifts and encouragement to them.  One of the gifts we brought was a laptop computer.  On our last visit two years ago we discovered the need.  Please pray that God will take the seed we have planted and grow it according to His will.  

I just prayed over someone who was very oppressed by the evil one.  The demons do depart when we pray.  Please pray that the people we are ministering to will continue to cooperate with the Holy Spirit and not the invite the demons back to oppress them.

I am sitting here in my room at 10:30 on Tuesday night listening to the rain fall outside my open window.  It’s like air conditioning.  All is at rest.

  1. "We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers, remembering without ceasing your work of faith, labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ..." In the name of Yeshua, God, I give you highest praise and thanksgiving for the wonderful work You are perfoming in Nigeria! Thank You, Abba, that Your Kingdom has come to many and is coming to many more in Nigeria through the lives of this team! Thank you that Brother Dusty was able to send these reports of Your awesome works of mercy, grace, and power so we may join our hearts and prayers with theirs, rejoicing over Your mighty acts of kindness. Abba, I ask that You would honor Brother Dusty's prayer requests. Take the seeds planted at the Baptist High School and grow them according to Your will. Thank you, Abba, that you are setting many captives free. Thank You that the prayers of the righteous accomplish much. In the Name of Jesus Christ, I ask that you would empower those set free to remain free in Christ. Through the power of Your Holy Spirit, Abba, enable them to shut the door on darkness and not allow their oppressors access back into their lives. Father, in the Name of Yeshua, I ask that you be with the team as they minister in Umuoye imerienwe today. As they begin this seventh day, I ask for a renewing and refreshing of each individual. Supernaturally touch their bodies and minds with rest, strength and clarity so they will be "sharp and at the top of their game" as Dusty put it. I especially pray for supernatural rest and renewal for Dr. Okere, Dr. Acholonu, and Dusty. As the TV program aires today I ask, in the name of Yeshua, that you would divinely protect this team. Do not allow the program to catch the attention of the darkness, but rather allow it to dispell the darkness by shedding Your light and love across Nigeria. Abba, keep vigilant watch over this team and command Your angels to keep charge of them. I cover them in the blood of Jesus Christ in the Name of jesus Christ. Strengthen their families at home and hide them all behind Your cross. Let Your name be glorified in Nigeria through this team TODAY! In the blessed and perfect name of Yeshua Ha Massiach I pray.

  3. Abba, In the Name of Yeshua, as the team's time in Nigeria draws to a close, I ask that you would refresh and prepare them for the trip home. God, In the Name of Yeshua, I ask that you would take every seed planted by this team and water and nourish them with Your Holy Spirit. Bring these seeds to fruition and bring honor to Your name. I ask, Abba, that you would take every life touched by this team and send Your Holy Spirit to draw them to salvation or to a deeper understanding of You. Cause springs of Living Water to well up within each life touched by Your presence which was carried by this team. Let Your Kingdom come and advance in Nigeria, and let Your will be done in Nigeria as it is in heaven. Take every healing, every deliverance, every salvation, and every encounter with You and seal it with Your Holy Spirit as a testimony of Your great mercy, kindness and love. And now, God, I ask that you send Your angels out ahead of this team to clear the way for their return home. I cover every mode of transportation and especially the airlines in the Blood of Yeshua Ha Massiach - top to bottom, front to back, side to side, inside and out and all working parts. Destroy and remove every trick, ambush or negative plan of the enemy and bring this team home safely. Prepare the hearts of their families to receive them home. Cause every team member to come home a different person for having gone to be Your hands and feet in Nigeria...changed by Your power and love flowing through them and in them. I thank you, Lord, for Your hand of protection which has been with them, for Your strong arm of strength which has upheld them, and for Your unfathomable heart of love which has sustained them. May Your name be glorified and Jesus Christ be lifted high in Nigeria because of how You have used this team. In Jesus Christ's Precious Name - Yeshua Ha Massiach - I pray with a heart of thanksgiving and joy....AMEN!
