The teaching was good and most leaders were there most of the time. However, very few were sick and they weren't inviting many so there were more healings from a distance than in the actual training. We had a young woman with severe side pain for years and God healed her first. We had 2 babies with malaria and the women commanded and they were healed and eating that day. We had a malaria patient at home and he was well when the person got home after the meeting. We had headaches gone and leg pain gone. After the teaching we had 3 evenings of Crusades planned. The first night we had a big crowd of trainees, a lot of kids and about 10 visitors. God healed all 3 infirm people that time when I prayed the mass healing prayer at the beginning. The trainees didn't even get to minister. One lady was healed of head pain after 4 days and leg problems that didn't let allow her to walk properly. Another lady had stomach pains - gone, and a man had side pains that prevented him from bending over - healed in Jesus name.

The second night I had the trainees get there early and go into the surrounding areas to find the sick and bring them. An elder came and said he found a woman too sick to come but he told her to find someone to bring her. When asked if he ministered to her he said “no.” I said go right now with someone and minister to her, saying, "What have we been learning to do??" He said, “Now?” I said, “go NOW.” He left reluctantly but came back 15 minutes later and said the woman was better and coming to the meeting. Praise the Lord. She came and was healed more and testified what God had done. He left again and came back later to tell me he had gone to another woman’s house and she had not walked for 3-4 years. The lady crawled with her arms and elbows to get around. After he issued commands in Jesus’ name, she was standing and shuffling and her son came to testify for her. Also that night about 9 others were healed of other infirmities. Another old lady had chest pains, etc., and could not hear anything from behind her. After the ladies ministered to her she had no pains and could hear and answer questions asked from behind her by another person. She gave her heart to Jesus later! A young girl had a bleeding nose for 3 months but after ministry the bleeding stopped immediately. Others were healed of leg pains and back pains. One person accepted Christ.

The 3rd night it rained and stopped the meeting. During the day on Friday and Saturday I ended up teaching the church leaders Biblical truths which they had me teach again on Sunday. I think some were more excited about that then about the healings. To be honest the planning was not that good as Ben was out for 2 weeks before we came. He was at a church in Uganda; then she came to one of Ben’s other churches for a meetings but no one was really organizing in Homa Bay. The most visitors we had at a Crusade meeting was about twenty the second night and with the threat of rain on the third night we had about 4 trainees and kids but no adults come. When the rain started, it was over. But the great news is some of the leaders did use their authority and saw God use them for the kingdom! They were pumped up when we left.

Here is the news of the Livingstone Conference we had before leaving for Kenya.

We saw God heal all but 1 who was prayed for. The first night we prayed for 2 people who stayed home---one had malaria and the other had body pains. Both were reported healed the next day. On the 2nd night we prayed for an old lady with bad eyes and swollen legs and God touched both areas. The last night we had 2 and one man was healed of a 5-day headache and of severe chest pains. Another old lady was prayed over for leg pain and speech problems. Her legs were healed and her speech improved much but not totally. She was demonized and when asked if she wanted Jesus she said she had no sin (she attends a cultic church). The pastor will continue to visit her family.
