I also had the occasion to meet a lady last Sunday who I had prayed with last summer. She was receiving cancer treatment and was given only 6 months to live. A year later we were able to celebrate that God’s grace and love had surrounded her and continues to guide her life.

This summer has been a wonderful mission, it is all about showing the love of Jesus
