After
the Basic Training, Richard and a team visited a remote aboriginal
community at Nepabunna where witchcraft was prevalent. Richard reported:
"We
saw the Lord at work in so many ways [at the remote aboriginal
community at Nepabunna
where we just
ministered], answering the prayers that the team had
been praying over many weeks as we prepared to go.
Our biggest encouragement was the healing of a woman of a
cataract in her eye as the believers ministered in
the authority of Jesus. The following evening, the woman
gave a public testimony of this miracle in her life.
We have no doubt that story will impact the whole community
as word spreads in the coming days. We were so encouraged.
It seemed not by coincidence that immediately after this woman's
healing and the meeting concluded, a violent confrontation broke
out nearby between drunken young people where axes had to be confiscated
by members of our team before anyone was seriously injured.This level
of aggression and intent is rarely seen in the community. Surely
the enemy was disturbed by what had taken place.
We feel so encouraged by what the Lord has done and
spurred on to the next opportunity at Whitmore Square in early
December."
